The Western Oregon football program signed 27 student-athletes on National Signing Day, with 25 coming from high school and 2 from junior college. The class is Northwest heavy, with 13 from Oregon, 12 from Washington, and 2 from California and Indiana. The Wolves' aim is to thrive in the competitive Lone Star Conference, and the class is seen as key to achieving this goal. The position breakdown includes 14 offensive players, 11 defensive players, and 2 special team players. With the NCAA Division II's new redshirt rule, some players from this class are expected to take the field in 2024. The Wolves are hopeful that this class will help them improve from their 3-8 campaign in 2023 and aim to return to their 2022 form.
