It’s another week of the MWC Recruiting Roundup.

The calendar has turned to September and recruiting will be gaining steam over the next few weeks as we hit the prime period of the recruiting cycle. Teams will be hosting official visitors and commitments will be plentiful once again in due time.

For this week, there were a few different things going on. Offers were handed out. Visits occurred. There were two known Mountain West commitments (BSU and Nevada), and even a decommittment happened. Boise State actually had one in each category, which doesn’t happen often. As for the cover photo, it is the Broncos this week.

  • Utah State: 6
  • Air Force: 4
  • Boise State: 4
  • Fresno State: 3

  • San Diego State: 3
  • Wyoming: 2
  • Colorado State: 1
  • Hawaii: 1

Recruiting Calendar:

We are currently in an evaluation period from now through most of November. Athletes can visit colleges through official and unofficial visits. Just as importantly, coaches can watch players in person at their high school games. Here is the official definition:

An evaluation period is that period of time when it is permissible for authorized athletics department staff members to be involved in off-campus activities designed to assess the academic qualifications and playing ability of prospective student-athletes. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts shall be made with the prospective student-athlete during an evaluation period.

Also, September 1st is the first day schools can actively recruit players in the 2023 class through letters, emails, texts, and social media.

Air Force Commitment Tracker:

Since the Air Force Academy regularly has around 100 commits in each class, it’s kind of fun to track them over the course of the year.

Number of Falcon verbal commits: 38

Visit Recap:

LB Kaeo Akana (Boise State)

“The visit was amazing I enjoyed it very much!! From the fans, the coaches, and the community was just an awesome place! Felt like home. I got to talk with the coaches. We talked football and where I would fit in!”
