Saddleback safety signs early

The Saddleback football program was back in the news on Wednesday with the announcement that one of their players has signed a letter of intent at a four-year school.  Freshman safety Noah Luginbill is the first commitment of the year.

Saddleback safety Noah Luginbill has had quite a freshman year.  He was recently named the National Division Southern League Defensive Player-of-the-Year following the regular season after leading the Bobcats in tackles (52) and tackles-for-loss (7). 

Luginbill received a number of offers from D1 programs over the past month and took a visit to South Dakota State in late November.  The freshman safety decided he had seen enough and opted to commit to the Jackrabbits on Wednesday morning during the NCAA Early Signing Period.

Luginbill is the first Saddleback player to commit for the class of 2026.
