New Mexico State Football Recruiting Updates

Hey Aggies fans! Happy Bye Week! It’s no doubt the Aggies needed a week off as a lot of key players are banged up.

With that being said, I thought I would update #AggieNation on the team’s 2018 recruiting efforts. What I found was quite surprising and good to see.

NMSU currently has five players committed for 2018, with all five coming from Arizona. Five more recruits could potentially come to Las Cruces this weekend for official visits.

The breakdown for the class so far is: 3 OL, 1 TE and 1 DT.

Committed: Tuesday, October 17

The first commit was Max Wilhite from Desert Edge High School in Goodyear, AZ. He is rated as a three star offensive tackle according to 247sports.com

Wilhite has also played center and guard in high school, making him versitile. Here are some of his highlights from last year.

He is the 22nd best prospect in the state and sixth best OT in Arizona, according to 247 sports. He had offers from NMSU and Northern Arizona, although Rivals has an offer listed from Air Force as well.

He made his official visit when the Aggies beat UTEP back in September.

Austin Young-OT

The second commitment of the 2018 class came on the same day, from a player of the same position and from the same high school.

Austin committed to New Mexico State over UTEP, Hawaii, New Mexico and UNLV. Definitely a huge get for Martin and his crew, as well as the program.

Young also visited UTEP weekend. His highlights are also...uh...impressive...to say the least!

Here’s a short summary of all the players.

With five commitments coming over a two day span, NMSU’s 2018 class has taken a giant leap up the rankings.

If the Aggies were to stay in the Sun Belt, they’d have the 10th best class in the conference (above ULL and Idaho) and 127th class overall.

All the recruits show promise and are great gets for the program. Let’s welcome them on Twitter!

What may be the best part about these recruits is that NMSU was able to bring them in over bigger G5 schools, including UNM and UTEP.

There you have it Aggie Nation. Keep Believing! Wobble On!
