It’s another week of the Mountain West Recruiting Roundup.
As we hit the midseason point of the fall, teams seem to be taking a few different directions when it comes to recruiting. Some teams are hosting official visitors, while others are only sticking to game-day visits for recruits in future classes. Various teams are still offering 2026 recruits, but many other teams are focusing on junior college or 2027 and beyond.
While no team is solely moving forward with one direction, most teams seem to
have a primary route they are focusing one. Pay attention to see what your team is doing.
As far as the cover photo, Fresno State had both of the new 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: 38
