It’s another week of the Recruiting Roundup.
As we get into May, official visits will begin by the end of the month and continue into June. Teams are continuing to load up on June OVs, which will make for a huge recrutiing month. Stay tuned for that.
This week, teams were busy during the evaluation period. Eight teams had double-digit offers, paced by Oregon State’s 29. Overall, 17 different teams handed out at least one offer. Commitment-wise, things were just as busy. Six new players announced pledges
to four different teams. Air Force, Colorado State, New Mexico, Utah State, and Washington State all added new players. A number of teams had strong weeks, but the Lobos offered 15 players and had 2 commits, so they are on the cover photo.

Recruiting Calendar:
For most of May, we are in the evaluation period. Coaches can visit schools to evaluate players athletically and academically. As always, it is okay for texts, calls, and DMs.
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.

Commitment Spotlight:
DB Bryson Fleming (New Mexico)
“What made me commit to the Lobos was the great coaching staff. I loved the way they coach and the culture they have built for the team. It was a good fit for me because they value me being able to play every position on the back end of their defense.”
OL Dakota Calverley (Utah State)
“I committed to Utah State because it’s been my dream school. My dad went here and played football. 01, 02, 03. He played tackle, and he is my inspiration in life. I live about five minutes away from campus, and the area here is amazing. What separates it from the other schools that offered me (I had 10) is the culture. And the grit it takes to play. It is a very tough program, and I am excited for it. I had a meeting with Bronco Mendenhall last Thursday, and he spoke my language. Mendenhall uses the saying “earned, not given,” which is amazing. I committed on the spot. Acitelli is an amazing offensive line coach, and I am very excited for the future with the Aggies.”
