Sacramento State head coach Brennan Marion and his staff continue to get top prospects on campus.

Holding 11 early commits, they’re catching the eye of the likes of five-star quarterback Ryder Lyons who visited last week.

More touted recruits will be in town over the next few days. On3 has the latest.

One of the state’s top offensive tackles Vlad Dyakonov will be on campus on Tuesday. USC has been trending but he’s considering several others including the Hornets.

One of the program’s commits in Calabasas (Calif.) High receiver Dezmyn Hardy has returned. He had 697 yards receiving on 53 receptions with seven touchdowns as a junior.

Sacramento (Calif.) Union 2027 tight end Rahzario Edwards has big-time offers early in his process. Marion and company are making a push to keep him home. He’ll be on campus Tuesday.

For the second time in two weeks local massive 2026 offensive lineman Roger Vanderhoef will visit. He’s a teammate of Edwards at Union.

One of the state’s top 2027 quarterbacks Brody Rudnicki will trip over on Thursday. He passed for nearly 2,000 yards in eight games as a sophomore with another 429 rushing yards and 34 touchdowns. He has the traits to be electric in Marion’s offense.

Marion and company are aiming to get things back on track this fall and then keep it rolling for years to come. The prospects coming to campus shows how much energy they’re pouring into the trail. The off-field recruiting team of Joey Moss, CJ Pollard and Marshawn Friloux have also been instrumental.

Sacramento State also recently hosted Folsom (Calif.) receiver and Ole Miss commit Jameson Powell. The staff is recruiting the state’s best but they’re also in on some gems. This class is coming together strong and it’s another big week.
