The current depth chart for
@UST_Football
. A few things stand out
-Freshman QB Tak Tateoka at QB 2
-Brock Stanek starting at LG
-Terrance Kamara returning kicks with Andrew McElroy
-Collin Chase will back up McElroy at WR. I expect to see quite a few WRs get playing time
Without playing a single game at the D1 FCS level, UST is getting commitments from recruits with multiple D1 offers. It says a lot about the program and the culture that has been built during the Caruso era 🟣⚫️⚪️

New UST commit
@orjohnso2
is a fun player to watch. He is a great RB, but I think his best position is S. He is a bully on defense and special teams. Would love to see him at a S/LB hybrid position next year 🟣⚫️⚪️

I am extremely excited to announce my commitment to the University of St. Thomas to further my academic and Football career! I would like to say thanks to my family, friends, and coaches for the endless support, and help along the way.

I’ve been watching some film on the 2023 recruiting class for
@UST_Football
and there is some really high end talent coming to St Paul next year. Another home run recruiting class for Coach Caruso and his staff, and it’s only December 🔥🔥🔥
#RollToms
UST commit
@savionrobinson2
is an excellent athlete and it sounds like he will play CB next year. Most of his highlights are on the offensive side of the ball, so I wanted to show how his footwork, athleticism and hands translate on the field. Should be an easy move to CB for him
UST gets a commitment from Fargo, ND with TE/DE Aiden Carlson. He is a very talented two-way player, but I expect him to play TE at the next level. Great addition for the Tommies! Welcome to the FAMILY!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
The 2022 recruiting class for UST football has a lot of guys that can play both sides of the ball at the next level. It’ll be interesting to see how they use some of these athletes
UST gets a huge in state commitment from WR/DB Savion Robinson. Another great weapon added to this Tommie recruiting class. Welcome to the FAMILY!!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST gets a commitment from RB/FB Landon Reed of Naples, FL. He shows great vision as a ball carrier and is an excellent blocker. A great addition to the Tommie backfield. Welcome to the FAMILY!!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
This recruiting game can be cut throat when you are at the D1 level. You have schools pulling scholarship offers and kids decommitting. It goes both ways. That will take some time to get used to
WOW!! The latest commit for UST is a game changer.
@noah_friedt
is a violent player and shows elite athleticism for his size. I expect him to play OLB or DE in the Tommies 3-4 defense, but they can play him all over the defensive side of the ball 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST gets another big time commitment from the state of Illinois! Mount Carmel LB Austin Maciel-Haygood will join the Tommies next season. He is a very physical, sideline-to-sideline LB that will be a valuable piece to Coach K’s defense. Welcome to the FAMILY!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
St. Thomas offers 6’1” FS Trey Krause from Valley High School in Iowa. Trey is a rangy DB with good size. Could be a huge asset for the Tommie defense 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST found a gem in Alex Sweetland (
@SweetlandAlex5
). This kid can play all over the field. Illinois has some serious talent and the Tommies are targeting quite a few recruits from that state. Landing Sweetland and Bragg this week was huge 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST continues to build an impressive offensive line unit with a commitment from OG/C Langston Robinson from WI. He chose St. Thomas over Columbia and multiple D2 offers. Welcome to the FAMILY!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST gets another big time offensive lineman commitment with OG/OT Ian Erickson from IL. He has great size at 6’6” 282 lbs, and is a tenacious blocker. Erickson held offers from several FCS and D2 programs. Welcome to the FAMILY!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST offers a game changer from Florida in CB/WR Yusef Leak. He is a lockdown corner and has great playmaking ability on both sides of the ball. He would look good in purple! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST offers another big time DB recruit in Cavan Riggs from AZ. His film shows he is a lockdown corner and also proved to be an excellent tackler. He can play CB, or S at the next level and would be a huge asset to the Tommie defense 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
No offense to St Thomas at all but after Rohde committed, he's grown 2 inches and become arguably the best player in the state at the moment. Deserves to be playing power 5 hoops and I wonder if teams have inquired (Wisconsin, Marquette?)
Let’s goooooooo!!! Huge news for UST football as St. Rita WR Isaiah Bragg commits to the Tommies. Really excited to see him in this offense. He should make an impact immediately. Welcome to the FAMILY!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST continues to build a strong recruiting class with their latest commitment,
@LandonReed16
. This kid is a tank! He is a bruising ball carrier, with great vision, and he is an excellent blocker. With this skill set, I expect him to play FB next season 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST lands another big time recruit out of IL! This time it is Glenbard West RB Jalen Moore. He is a very versatile offensive weapon based off his Junior year film. Great addition to the Tommie backfield. Welcome to the FAMILY!!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
#RollToms
UST and SDSU Introductions. SDSU comes out to Waka Flocka Flame's "Grove Street Party" The Denny Sanford Premier Center is almost entirely Blue, and LOUD!
Since 2008 only 3 Freshmen that are 6’6 or taller have averaged 16+ PPG, had an AST% higher than 20 and had a 55% TS or higher, that list is
Cade Cunningham(21)
Ben Simmons(16)
Andrew Rohde(23)
Some really good company here next to Rohde.
Freshman Andrew Rohde has been playing great this season. The 6’6 guard is averaging 15/4/4 and 2 steals a game. He’s also been efficient shooting 45% from the field.
UST offers RB/FB Landon Reed from FL. He is extremely hard to bring down and a great blocker. Would be a great addition to the Tommie backfield
#RollToms
In case you missed it: St. Thomas football coach Glenn Caruso joined TommieMedia’s Cam Kauffman in the Locker Room Thursday to discuss next season’s incoming recruits.
@UST_Football
@Coach_Caruso
@BraedenEdwards5
was a great find for UST. He has the size and quickness coaches covet for OTs. Edwards excels in both the passing and running game, but his ability to beat defenders to the spot on run plays is really what stood out to me. Tommies love to run the ball!
#RollToms
BIG TIME!!! UST gets another huge offensive lineman commitment from Wayzata OT Alec Rasmussen. He picked The Tommies over several other D1 offers. Welcome to the FAMILY!! 🟣⚫️⚪️
