Recruiting Comparison: Ottawa vs Arizona Christian

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The numbers don't lie on this one, as OUAZ has signed well over 30 in-state athletes while Arizona Christian's entire signing class was 23 players all together. OUAZ holds the W in their matchup series thus far, as they head into 2024 up 4-2 with four blowout wins. A large portion of these NAIA rivalry matchups comes down to in-state recruiting, and that win/loss margin definitely plays a factor. Although Ottawa inked more athletes than ACU, I think the signing of [player_tooltip player_id='115535' first='Andrew' last='Trapp'] is a flat out game changer for ACU. Super dynamic kid with big play ability, and I'm shocked he was overlooked by D2 and FCS programs. Overall, both schools landed some in-state studs.
