The football season is behind us, and we are inching closer to March Madness and the start of spring football. This past week saw another important day in the football calendar, signing day.

Let’s take a look at how the six teams in the Mountain Division recruited.

Boise State is getting ever closer to having a full-fledged football staff. Former Utah State co-defensive coordinator Stacy Collins was hired to run special teams for the Broncos and work with the edge rushers on defense.
Collins spent the last five seasons at Utah State, and joins the Broncos along with fellow Aggie Frank Maile. Collins has coached running backs, linebackers, defensive backs, and special teams in recent years. The 45-year old ball coach also has head coaching experience at Division II South Dakota School of Mines.

Frank Maile is a Utah man through and through. He is a graduate of Utah State and has spent eight years on the Aggies coaching staff. The 38-year-old defensive coach began his coaching career as a defensive graduate assistant for Utah State in 2009 and was later promoted to a full-time position as the defensive line coach.
After a two-year stint at Vanderbilt, Maile returned to the Aggies for a five-year run as the assistant head coach and served as the interim head coach in 2018.
