Three more recruits have completed the College's enrollment procedures and will join the Colonels this fall. Goalkeeper Chris Jackson (Oxford, OH ), defender Scott Milam (Lebanon, IN ), and defender Daniel Pearson (Jackson, MS ) will help offset the graduation of starting goalkeeper Chris Creger and defenders Joseph Fisher and John Templeton.
 Chris Jackson, a 6'3 190 pound goalkeeper joins the Colonels as a three year starter and a first team all league selection out of Talawanda High School . Jackson recorded a school record 10 shutouts and a .88 GAA in leading his team to a 14-2-2 record and a conference championship his senior year. Chris was also the goalkeeper for the 2007 league champion American Soccer Club. "Since watching Chris play last summer, we knew he was the goalkeeper we wanted. He has great hands, quick feet, and at 6'3", he can control his area," commented head coach Jeb Burch.
Scott Milam, a 6'1, 180 pound central defender was a team captain and two time first team all-conference player at Lebanon Senior High School . Milam was also a two time member of the “Daily Sun” All-Area Team, an All-North Indianapolis Honorable mention, and a member of the Academic All-State Team.
