San Diego State football extending scholarship offers on recruiting trail
Following the end of spring football and the closing of the spring window of the college football transfer portal, San Diego State has been aggressive on the recruiting trail. Using the roughly five weeks of the NCAA allowable contact period, Aztec coaches have been making in-person, off-campus visits and evaluations that have led to numerous offers being extended to high school recruits.
During a press conference in February, San Diego State head coach Sean Lewis noted his plans for San Diego State to be aggressive with high school prospects despite the popularity of the transfer portal in today’s game.
“I think the biggest piece for us is that the consistent heartbeat that is gonna drive this program forward is elite high school recruiting,” Lewis said. “I think we’re more balanced than what a lot of people are doing around the country in terms of how things have gotten skewed by going portal heavy.”
