<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>
