Meanwhile, after being invited to minicamp, former shark linebacker Nydair Rouse was signed by the Green Bay Packers in early May. He'll be battling eleven other cornerbacks currently on the roster with only one of them having more than four seasons of experience.

Team News - 2019 WCU Football Schedule

Game times are now set for the Golden Rams 2019 football schedule. Some observations:

  • West Chester concludes its four game series with Northeast-10 opponent Bentley. The only non-PSAC opponent will again act as the season opener on September 7. It's the first time that the season will start after Labor Day since 2014.
  • West Chester will get its first look at the Shepherd Rams as a PSAC opponent when they travel to West Virginia on October 19. The Golden Rams prevailed in the only ever meeting between these two schools in the 2013 regional championship.
  • After having just four home games in 2018, John A. Farrell Stadium will host six opponents this season with Bentley, Seton Hill, Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg, Kutztown and California all coming to West Chester.
  • There will be no night games this season as the latest start time is 2:00pm on homecoming against East Stroudsburg on October 26.
  • The California Vulcans appear on the schedule for the second consecutive meeting, but it will be their first meeting since 2013. After winning the PSAC East last season, West Chester's last regular season game was changed to play PSAC West winner Slippery Rock in the PSAC championship game.
