2025 Recruiting List

[SteelSD]

LB Dylan Hudgens looks like a rare head to head recruiting L to USD although there may not have been an offer for him anymore after getting 14 commits on the D side, including 3 LBs.

It's possible, but Parker Moore announce his offer two days prior to Hudgens making his announcement. If we were full on LB offers then we likely wouldn't have offered Moore. Could be a case where he saw the LB room was pretty full or just decided that USD has a good track record with LB's as well. Or he just likes losing...

Some other guys on our offer list have accepted other offers or are no longer considering us. Linebackers Chase Brixius and Damian Devine considering the schools up north. I would think we are still looking to add on the offensive side of the ball with another TE and OL. I would think some no longer have offers due to positions being filled. Great class so far! I wonder if we had interest in WR Louden Grimsley who originally verbally committed to NDSU and then flipped to USD. One of the faster guys out there.

As soon as they actually commit or give me an indicator that they are down to a FCS/FBS decision I update the list (see Kade Pieterzak). If you've actually seen commitments that I have missed please feel free to update.

Marion Moore to NDSU but I'm not seeing when we offered him. He could have deleted it IF we told him there was no more room.
Devine didn't list us in his "offers" on a graphic he posted recently but still had our offer tweet on his profile. I'm guessing it could be a similar situation and he was told there was no longer a scholarship available.

RJ Collins earned a K-State offer after a strong showing at their camp. He didn't an interview where he said K-State is the front runner but he is considering NDSU and Delaware. I really liked him and he had a VIP visit scheduled but deleted the tweet after we got verbal commitments from 3 CBs in 24 hours (Green, Wright, and Sorrell). I'm guessing there just wasn't room for him anymore.

I saw that Ren Brown is committing tomorrow (6/28). I'd expect Texas Tech but K-State has come in with that late offer.

Coach Olson posted a #605Hogs GIF yesterday so it is either Hach, Janssen or Wagner if it is a known offer. Any of the 3 would be great additions to the class!

Are we at or near the end of the first wave of commits that wanted to commit early and be done with the process ?

Micah Hach commits. Looks like he is going to play football and wrestle.

Wow. This looks like a great commit. 6-4, 290 and highly regarded in both wrestling and football. Another great get for 2025!

I didn't see anything in his twitter that he had received an offer. However he was listed as an offer on 247 so what you indicated could have happened or maybe 247 just had it wrong. But I included him since they had him listed in an effort to be thorough. People can choose to not included this in the SDSU versus NDSU recruiting battle if they so choose!

Looks like we need to add Evan McCarty OL from Wayzata High School to our 2025 commit list.

It will be interesting to see what recruiting looks like when the new FBS roster limits go into effect. If schools are offering 105 scholarship, up from 85, will our higher end talent end up on an FBS roster?

A good number of the 85 to 105 ranked players could very well end up in the portal after realizing that they will never see the field after a season or two.

Yeah, FCS teams that are used to developing young players are likely going to be forced to did into the portal more than they did previously as the quality of freshman recruits will be thinner. Seems like the way of the future unfortunately.

NIL made the “scholarship” limit meaningless, since non-scholarship members could receive the scholarship equivalent in NIL. Roster limits for FBS are actually decreasing from 120 to 105. That means there are less opportunities at FBS, not more.

That should mean that some of the players that FCS schools lost to preferred walk-on opportunities at bigger programs will no longer have those options.
