Recruiting for Service Academies in #CFB is EVERYTHING. Air Force isn't going out here using the Transfer Portal, this is a developmental program that relys on evaluations and recruiting the type of player that will thrive in their system. Head Coach Troy Calhoun just made waves with his 2026 Recruiting Class, it's the BEST CLASS EVER in Air Force History by AVG Recruit Ranking. The class is led by 3 star Safety Knight Wilson from Franklin, TN. 3 star WR Merrik Bloomgren is 6'3 and a solid addition and 3 star ATH Wes Burford is a versatile player who could contribute at many positions. This 2026 class is a legendary one for Air Force and should develop into a solid unit down the road. As always these Air Force players will go on to do great things outside of football one day and we are thankful for their service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
