It’s another week of the Recruiting Roundup.
The calendar has now turned to April, and teams are hosting many recruits for Junior Days and other unofficial visits. There are also a ton of official visits being scheduled for June, so expect that to be a huge recruiting month for all teams, including those in the Mountain West and Pac-12.
This week, there was a large number of offers, with sixteen of the teams we track below giving at least one new offer to a recruit. On the commitment front, Fresno State and UTEP brought in new commits, with the Miners responsible for two out of the three this week.
With that, UTEP takes a week on the cover photo.

Recruiting Calendar:
Starting today and going through mid-April, we are in a quiet period. On-campus contact is permitted, while off-campus contact is limited to text, calls, and DMs.
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.
Commitment Spotlight:
LB Ayden Williams (UTEP)
“I chose UTEP because of the culture and the relationships I built with the coaching staff, especially Coach Walden and Coach Beyer. They were consistent in their communication and took the time to get to know my entire family (my mom, dad, and brother). On my most recent visit, the players and coaches made it feel like a true family and brotherhood.“
