Picked up another receiver and I believe with this addition we have jumped Boise State just slightly in the rankings and have currently the number one overall class in the group of 5!
Is that just transfer portal or overall recruiting class!

DeFreitas to North Texas with Ratliff and Poff and the ST coach
That was my prediction all along. Hated to see him go.

If we find a QB, our offense should be in good shape headed into 2026.

Hanging on to Trigg and Phares was huge. I also like Benton, Sandstrom, and Cooper’s game. Gamble and Sanchez both have potential to be good. Mbake has all the tools to be a stud. Cayden Sweatt reminds me a little of Parker Collins, and I love that.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to keep everyone listed there. We have been targeting secondary in the portal for a reason.

Cooper is one I REALLY hope to keep more than anyone that hasn’t publicly announced anything.

Tyriq Poindexter will hopefully be back as well. I don’t know the status of his medical waiver. Kamron Burris was an all conference starter at Anderson.
