FB: New England Small College Athletic Conference

[Trin9-0]

With 26 incoming first year players announced this cycle, Trinity's recruiting class is certainly smaller in quantity than in recent past. They've averaged 31.5 over the previous 6 years:

2024 - 29
2023 - 32
2022 - 33
2021 - 29
2020 - 31
2019 - 29

As is typical, more than half the class hails from either CT or MA. There's five from the Garden State this year. Trinity seems to have made a concerted effort to reload at Wide Receiver; they had 8 in last year's class and another 5 for this year (the most of any position group). Also, for the second year in a row there's only one incoming Quarterback for the Bants.

Wesleyan has also announced 26 commits this cycle (down from 31 last year). It would logically appear that the NESCAC roster limit is making an impact. Just five future Cards from in-state, but lots of geographic diversity with players from VA, TX, CA, FL, NC). Interesting that there is not a single Quarterback listed in the incoming class for Wes.

Midd appears to be announcing their class throughout the month (just two listed thus far). Bowdoin indicated they're announcing their class starting tomorrow. At the time of this posting Colby has listed just three, and Hamilton only two. Nothing yet from Tufts, Amherst, Bates, and as usual Williams is likely to not share their recruiting class via social media.
