Joseph Hernandez

I am grateful to announce my commitment to continue my football career at Saginaw Valley State University! From committing to Siena Heights to having them close down in July to moving 500 miles away from home and then taking the chance and entering the transfer portal it’s been a crazy journey. First, I would like to thank everyone involved: my mom and dad, grandparents, and everyone else who has poured their time and money into helping me achieve one of my dreams of playing football in the best Division II football conference in the country. I would also like to thank the Coach Gustav and Coach Engle at SVSU for giving me this amazing opportunity to pursue my athletic and academic career. Go Cardinals!

Happy Easter from the Cardinal Football family! 🐣🐰 #BeaksUp | #GoCards
