To say recruiting in the upper midwest is a battle would be an understatement. There are six FCS schools in a four-state region and most all of them are among the best programs in the country. Typically they all covet the same players. The Hawks pulled of a major recruiting win against those FCS foes…
The recruiting world has been fairly quiet over the past month or so. The ‘early signing period’ has taken away a lot of the fanfare from the February ‘late signing day’. However, Bubba Schweigert and Danny Freund found time to squeeze in one more commitment in quarterback Simon Romfo, who is slated to be a…
When reviewing the early 2021 signing class we had written that it was unusual to see UND not have a recruit from Wisconsin. That all changed on Sunday. Cornerback Clayton Bishop of Kenosha Indian Trail High School committed to the Hawks yesterday and upped the class total to 18. Former UND OL Ben Jansen also…
It’s not often that a college program gets commitments from teammates in the same class. It’s even more rare when they commit on back-to-back days. Bubba Schweigert added two state champions to the 2021 recruiting class this week when offensive lineman Hunter Harvey and tight end Noah Schaffner committed to UND. Both are coming in…
UND was able to add another in-state standout last week as Kindred product Ethan McKenney pledged his commitment to Bubba Schweigert and the Hawks. The other North Dakota commit is Sam Hagen of Park River, who was the very first player to join the Class of 2021. 100% Committed!! Blessed to say I am going…
I had an inkling that UND may start recruiting the ‘Land of Lincoln’ when it became apparent they were leaving the Big Sky to join the Missouri Valley Football Conference. That came to fruition this past year when the Hawks signed Illinois products Jagger Ferden and Quinn Urwiler to the Class of 2020. To add…
UND snagged their 9th commitment to the 2021 Recruiting Class on Monday when Cole Davis of Marengo High School in Illinois gave his pledge to Bubba Schweigert. ????⚪️COMMITTED⚪️???? pic.twitter.com/aRDAr97dx9 — Cole_Davis37 (@ColeDavis37) August 3, 2020 Davis, 5’10”-165, is a former teammate of incoming Hawks freshman OL Jagger Ferden. This is the second defensive commitment to…
In a bit of a surprise, UND decided to add a quarterback to the 2020 roster on Wednesday. Sophomore QB Ethan Postler of Moorpark JC announced via Twitter that he is transferring to UND for the upcoming season. Postler, 6’5″-210, is originally from Iowa and played his prep ball at Clear Creek Amana High School. …
UND doesn’t get a lot of commitments from the state of South Dakota. In fact, we believe the last commitment from the Mount Rushmore state came when OL Darren Deneui committed/signed with the Sioux in 2009 (note – Alex Wilde did join the team as a grad transfer last season). The 10+ year drought ended…
