Central will begin their spring regular season on April 3rd when they host Simpson.
I have always dreamed of playing college football since I was a little kid. Well today, those dreams have turned into a reality. With that being said, I have committed to Central College. Thank you @coachmaiuri and the whole @CUI_Football family for this opportunity. #GoDutch pic.twitter.com/d9eEsdLohe
