Trailblazers Welcome 10 on Signing Day

Utah Tech women's soccer head coach Lexi Brown announced her 2025 recruiting class on Wednesday. The Trailblazers are set to welcome 10 student-athletes from three states next season.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome this 2025 class to Utah Tech," Brown said. "We knew early on that this was going to be a special class. This is a class filled with so much talent and personalities who will fit the culture that we are trying to create here. This is a group of players who will come to campus with all the experience, skill and grit that they need to find opportunities on the field. With it being our first full recruiting class, we were able to bring on a group of players who uniquely fit exactly what we are looking for in order to be successful on the field, in the classroom and in the community. In conjunction with our returners, we know that we will have a group who will be highly prepared to face a tough non-conference schedule as well as compete at the highest level in the WAC."
