A new year means a fresh new batch of football players committing to play at Snow College. This year was no different, as the Badgers signed a variety of new commits from in-state, out of state, and even out of country.
Despite the high turnover rate of athletes at Snow due to it being a two-year college, in the last ten years they have managed to post a 91-22 overall record with eight seasons of 8+ wins.
As far as signing day for Snow, these are the players that have signed thus far. As spring approaches, Snow will be adding more athletes to this list;

One recruit from Oregon, quarterback Kimane Domena, had several schools interested in him including Colorado State, Portland State, Arizona, Clemson, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, and Washington State.
Domena originally signed with BYU but withdrew his commitment to seek out other options; he will be joining the Badgers this fall.
Another player who will suit up in Badger blue and orange is Stefan Cantwell who transferred from Dixie State; the quarterback spent his prep years at Bingham High School.
Lately, players have been seen on the field each afternoon. Cantwell commented on this by saying, “We have been holding player held practices with minimal coach involvement. We want to get familiarized with each other before spring ball even starts.”
Spring ball will officially stat after finals so that the players can focus on their academics before devoting their time fully to football.
Cantwell also noted the importance of these player held practices, “It will really help with team bonding now so that when the season starts, we know each-others limits and what we can handle.”
Look for the Badgers to have another successful season this coming fall.
Carson Hoch
Carson Hoch is a sophomore at Snow College. He comes from West Jordan and had never been part of a newspaper or yearbook staff until coming to Snow. He is a business major and plans on going to Brigham Young University for the next step in his education. This is the first year Carson has been on Senior Staff for the Snowdrift as the Website Coordinator. Carson was inspired to join the newspaper because he’s always had a love for sports and wanted to get a glimpse of the journalism side. A dream of his is to get called at half time to shoot the half-court shot. He’s entered every game he’s been to, but has never been selected. Yet.
