ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State head coach Pat Dolan has announced the addition of eight future student-athletes to St. Cloud State over the early signing period in November. The group of Huskies will join the team for the 2026 season after finishing their prep careers this upcoming spring.
"I really like our overall recruiting class with a mixture of pitchers, position players and some guys we feel can be two-way players," said Dolan. "And they all are excellent student athletes and meet the culture characteristic we look for."
TREVOR BROUETTE
A lefthanded pitcher from Portage High School in Pardeeville, Wis., Trevor Brouette has earned two all-conference honors and three academic honors ahead of his senior campaign. In two seasons with Portage, Brouette has made seven starts and 10 appearances on the mound, posting a 5-0 record with a 2.40 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, .233 opposing batting average and one save.
"I chose St. Cloud State because of the culture and the good reputation around the program," said Brouette.

Cahoon helped the Raiders advance to the MSHSL AAA State Tournament in 2024 and also lettered in football and alpine skiing. In the classroom, he has earned honor roll and National Honors Society recognition and maintains a 3.74 GPA.

In basketball, Erickson has earned a pair of all-section and all-conference honors in 2023 and 2024.
I chose to attend St. Cloud State for many reasons, one being the coaching staff and how welcoming and kind they have been towards me and my family," said Erickson. "I have been so grateful to have started talking to Coach Dolan for the sole reason on how much he made St. Cloud feel like a place that I will spend the next four years at. I chose St. Cloud State also because of the wonderful business and financial studies programs. The program has a winning history and beautiful facilities. All things combined have made it such an easy decision for me, knowing I will be in the hands of these coaches and professors that only want the best for me!"
