Cornell Football Recruits '30

[ugarte]

Does seem football has some positive momentum (energetic new coaching staff, improved recruiting, more funding, new fieldhouse being built)

It does. Please let this be real, generational change. And I bet we are all waiting for the other shoe to drop. As Yogi Berra might have said, "Can a leopard change his stripes?"

i'm not waiting for the other shoe to drop at all. it looks like a good hire with solid early returns.

Great to see a recent commit from a 3-star QB from California!

And with a few power conference offers to boot. Between him and Ryan Downes, it looks like we have some talented QB's in the pipeline.

Early signing period started today through Friday.  Some slight changes to the list so far.

Our 2025 class was ranked #1 in the Ivies by 247 Sports, and this class looks solid too.

It most likely won't be ranked #1 in the Ivy League, but I agree, it's still a solid looking class if it holds.

Saw this little writeup on incoming QB Eli MacNeal:

Eli MacNeal is the starting quarterback for the Carlsbad Lancers and a senior in the class of 2026. He stands 6′0″ and weighs about 180 lbs. � Over the past two seasons as a starter, he has completed approximately 76.9% of his passes overall — with a 79% completion rate in the most recent season. � In the 2025 season alone, MacNeal threw for roughly 2100 yards and recorded 31 touchdowns across 10 games, with only 3

Some late additions to the recruit list.

Little writeup on ... Eli MacNeal [says]...  he has completed approximately 76.9% of his passes

How many decimal places does a sports prognosticator need, to go beyond "approximately"? I know, don't make fun of sportswriters.

Okay, this is good news for the future for the one Ivy team that has yet to win an unshared Ivy League title.

Updated the list based on today's signing day. Lost one commit TE Drew Hardwick to Florida State, added a few late recruits.

Does anyone have info on walk ons such as how many we have on the roster and when the open tryouts are (if that exists here at all)?

Nice article on on incoming recruit RB DK Garza. He ran for 3,384 yards this season, passing the previous record which was set back in 2008. And he did it on just 267 carries. "Cornell is a great school," said Garza. "And I'm super excited about the opportunity. I know very few people and players get the opportunity to play college football at the division one level and so my goal is to go out and give my best."

"I don't care where he plays in the country," said Rittimann. "He's going to make their program better. Just because of what he brings every day."

Garza says he plans to study business at Cornell and stay out of the transfer portal.

"There's 60 to 70 more years after college you have left to live in the rest of your life so my plan is to stay at Cornell for four years get a degree and set up the rest of my life," said Garza.
