Mountain West Recruiting Roundup 4-1-24. 2025 April Team Recruiting Rankings

NCAA Football: LA Bowl-UCLA at Boise State Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports

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

Mountain West teams have been focusing on the 2025 cycle for some time now, handing out offers at a rapid pace. This week, there were 24 new offers spread out among 8 teams. Of those offers, about half of them came from two teams, Boise State and Utah State.

It is feeling like March recruiting, meaning things were much more on the lighter side. This makes sense as many teams are now conducting their spring practices adn once again focusing on their current roster as opposed to future ones.

This week, the Broncos and Aggies handed out the most offers, they both take a week of the 2025 cover photo, although only one is on the photo.

Class of 2025 Cover Photo Total:

  • Boise State: 1
  • San Diego State: 1
  • San Jose State: 1
  • Utah State: 1

Recruiting Notes:

Brad Odom, the Director of Player Personnel for UNLV, has been tweeting our recruiting notes every Tuesday for at least since last season. It’s a lot of good advice for recruits, so we may as well feature last week’s tweet every week.

Recruiting Calendar:

Starting today, and through mid-April, we are in a quiet period. This basically means coaches can have contact with recruits on campus, but not off campus. This is the time of year when Junior Days mostly occur.

Next College Student Athlete says:

The NCAA defines the quiet period as a time when “a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents off the college campus and may not watch student-athletes compete or visit their high school.” To break it down, the NCAA Quiet Period is a time you can talk to college coaches in-person on their college campus. However, the coach is not allowed to watch athletes compete in-person, visit their school, talk to them at their home—or talk to them anywhere outside of the college campus. Coaches can still text, call, email or direct message coaches during this time.

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: 2 recruits this cycle
