Mountain West Recruiting Roundup 9-29-25. New commits for Nevada and Wyoming.

It’s another week of the Mountain West Recruiting Roundup.

When this posts on Monday, I’ll be on a plane flying back home, so forgive this intro from being a bit brief.

The offers were plentiful this past

week, with teams like Nevada and UNLV on a bye week. The Wolf Pack can also be forgiven for trying to focus on the future rather than the present, even if they did have a game this weekend.

Otherwise, Boise State had some known visitors. Then, Wyoming and Nevada filled up the commitment portion of this roundup.

As far as the cover photo, Nevada had a nice combo of offers and commits, so they take the spot this week.

Recruiting Calendar:

From September through November, we will be in an evaluation period. Coaches can go and scout recruits at their games and at school, although they can’t have direct communication with them off campus. As always, coaches can still talk to recruits via phone, text, email, or DM.

Next College Student Athlete says:

The NCAA Evaluation Period is a specific time of year when college coaches are allowed to watch an athlete compete in person or visit their school. However, coaches are not allowed to communicate with that athlete (or parents) off the college campus. Coaches can sit in the stands during a recruit’s practice or game, as well as visit the recruit’s school. This gives college coaches a chance to talk to the recruit’s coach, teachers, or guidance counselor to get a better understanding of the student-athlete’s character. After the visit, the coach may call or email the recruit and let them know how their experience was at the school or game.

The NCAA Evaluation Period is just that: a time set aside for evaluation. While coaches can’t talk to athletes off the college campus, they can still call, email, text, and direct message recruits.

Air Force Commitment Tracker:

Since the Air Force Academy regularly has by far the most commits among Mountain West recruiting classes, it’s fun to track them over the course of the year.

Number of Falcon verbal commits: 37

Commitment Spotlight:

DB Brenden Logan (Air Force)

“I committed based off a few reasons. First, relationships with the coaches. My area’s recruiting guy, Coach Ken, has been my right hand since they offered me back in the spring. Also, every one of their coaches has reached out to me more than once, showing that they truly want me to be a part of their program. I love the conference they play in, the MountainWest plays great football. Another reason was the location. Colorado Springs is a beautiful city, and the Air Force Academy is an even more beautiful school. And lastly, all the benefits, opportunities, and guarantees that being a part of the Air Force comes with. #BoltBrotherhood”
