Weekend Recruiting Campus Visit Round-Up (9/9/24)

Now that we’re squarely in the collegiate preseason and the fall weather is ready to set in (at least in parts of the country) another rite of passage is upon us. Football season? Yes, and it’s semi-relevant here, as many fall recruiting weekends are built around football Saturdays, especially, at your Power Five (now four) schools. Sure, there are plenty of recruiting visits in the spring and summer, but we saw almost all of the top recruits from the Class of 2025 commit to schools by the end of the calendar year in 2023, so the Class of 2026 recruits have begun to visit campus and probably will start to commit soon. 

One of the things that makes following recruiting fun is the cloak-and-dagger secrecy surrounding parts of the process. For every Bo Bassett who routinely keeps the public informed on recruiting decisions, there are plenty of others who don’t discuss it as much. Therefore, it can be difficult to follow which recruit is interested in which school and vice versa. I suppose it’s fun, but you’re left wanting more!

In order to try and help our fanbase feel more knowledgeable about the process, we’ll have a weekly column that recaps the recruiting weekend. Who has visited where? Maybe some background information on the recruits or the process from the school. 

If we've missed a recruit or you'd like to provide info on future visits play let me know: earl@matscouts.com

Will Detar: Trinity, PA - #96 Class of 2026

The Air Force Academy has had top-25 recruiting classes in each of the last two years and continues to target top-notch recruits. Pennsylvania state finalist and two-time Fargo champion Will Detar certainly fits that criteria. 

Detar has also recently taken visits to Cornell and Virginia in each of the previous two weekends.
