Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, sports related processes have taken a hit.  Here’s a letter from WSSU athletics department to recruits.

Thank you for your continued interest in Winston-Salem State University Athletics. 

As our country implements steps to stop the progression of COVID-19, we hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended guidelines.  The NCAA has instituted a complete DEAD PERIOD for all member institutions thru April 15, which includes a delay our ability to issue a 2020-21 National Letter of Intent (NLI).  Much of our campus community, including coaches and athletics staff members, are working remotely from our homes, but we want to hear from YOU.  Please feel free to reach out to the members of our coaching staff who you have been corresponding with and/or reach out to any member of our staff for a sport you would like to receive more information about.  Our coaches and staff can reply via phone, text, email, videoconference, and some social media. 

Once life returns to normal, we will resume on- and off-campus recruiting activities, including unofficial visits to our campus in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  In preparation, please make sure that our coaches have your highlight film, stats, recent transcripts, general information about you, and those things important to you to get to know you better.  Be sure to register with the Eligibility Center (EC) and keep your file in the system current.  Stay plugged into your high schools, prep schools, junior colleges and four-year universities to ensure you finish this spring semester strong.  Also pay attention to any updates from College Board regarding modifications to the ACT and SAT testing dates.

We look forward to seeing you in person soon.
