HELENA — Head coach Troy Purcell and the Carroll College football team announced Wednesday its initial signing 2025 class, and it features 27 high-school signees, as well as one mid-year transfer that's already enrolled on campus.
Eight different states are represented in the initial class, with homegrown Montana talent (eight players) sharing the bulk of the class alongside Washington. As has been the case for many years, Idaho continues to be a hotbed for Carroll recruiting, with five from the Gem State signing on. Both Arizona and Wyoming have a pair of signees, while one player will join from each of California, Colorado and Utah.
"We're beyond excited to bring in this new group to the Carroll College football program," Purcell said. "Praise goes to the coaching staff for all of their hard work and efforts in getting these exceptional student-athletes here on campus. ... We can't wait to get to work this spring, and look forward to getting the high school guys onto campus this fall to show their talents."
