Mid-Month Recruiting Report: January

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With National Signing Day (Feb. 5) for non-Division I programs rapidly approaching, January is usually filled with offers and commitments as school look to close out their 2025 classes. The list of commitments is led by a pair of 2025 Roswell standouts who have committed to the same Division 2 school in West Texas. In December, another Roswell standout ([player_tooltip player_id='1259013' first='Aidan' last='Rutley']) committed to the same school. Based on social media postings, here is everything that happened in NM recruiting between Jan. 1-16.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>COMMITMENTS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1118273' first='Xai' last='Carrasco'], Roswell: West Texas A&amp;M</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1118051' first='Mason' last='Greathouse'], Roswell: West Texas A&amp;M</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1119650' first='Kason' last='Perez'], Carlsbad: NMMI</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1257335' first='Jack' last='Warble'], Rio Rancho: Western New Mexico</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OFFERS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Erick Aceves, Albuquerque High: Richmond Hill Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='613752' first='JJ' last='Arellano'], Rio Rancho: New Mexico Highlands</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1258924' first='Estevan' last='Baca'], Albuquerque High: Eastern New Mexico, New Mexico Highlands</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1119551' first='Javier' last='Filerio'], Gadsden: Eastern New Mexico</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1594079' first='Brenden' last='Franco'], Las Cruces: Sul Ross State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1119205' first='Alex' last='Fuentes'], Texico: New Mexico Highlands</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1257321' first='Angel' last='Gallegos Azpeitia'], Cleveland: Pacific University (Oregon)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='851873' first='Jordan' last='Kekoa Hatch'], Cleveland: Eastern New Mexico</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1258907' first='Isaac' last='Houlihan'], Albuquerque High: New Mexico Highlands, McPherson College</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1258077' first='Grant' last='Johnson'], Artesia: New Mexico Highlands</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1594242' first='Michael' last='Lucero'], Roswell: Bethany College</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='613759' first='Noah' last='Lynn'], Roswell: Black Hills State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1248663' first='Colton' last='McKibben'], Carlsbad (2027): Arizona State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='615425' first='Amiri' last='Mumba'], Highland: Eastern New Mexico</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Masumbe Netongo, West Mesa: New Mexico Highlands</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacob Palomino, Roswell: New Mexico Highlands</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1258091' first='Jayden' last='Parsons'], La Cueva: Ottawa University (Kansas)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1257350' first='Thomas-James' last='Pettus'], Volcano Vista: Rochester Community &amp;
