Monthly Recruiting Report: January

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>January is always one of the busiest months on the annual recruiting calendar with many prospects fielding offers, taking visits and ultimately committing to the school of their choice. We even had one prospect flip his commitment to New Mexico.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's been a VERY good month for Eastern New Mexico and head coach Kelley Lee. The Greyhounds secured 17 commitments from NM prospects throughout the state. One, though, will just have to take a quick drive across town to play for ENMU – Portales WR <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='591958' first='Zane' last='Mayberry']</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“Probably the biggest factor that convinced me to go to ENMU was that it was close to home,” Mayberry told Prep Redzone New Mexico. “And when I visited there in December they really made it feel like home. What impressed me the most was just how nice the facilities were and everything they have as a D2 university.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NMMI secured five commitments while Western New Mexico grabbed three, including a dynamic QB from the local high school and one of the top OL prospects in the state. Five prospects committed to out-of-state schools, including the No. 1 prospect in the 2024 class pledging to UTEP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>National Signing Day for
