Bakersfield College freshman defensive lineman Logan Goodspeed and Snow (Utah) College sophomore offensive lineman Braylan Henderson have declared for the Bulldogs.

Goodspeed, 6-4, 260 pounds, accumulated 26 tackles and six sacks in 2024. The Stockdale High School graduate had offers from Mountain West conference rivals Hawaii, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, and Utah State but decided to remain in the Valley.

He is the third offensive lineman to commit to Fresno State, which has a new offensive line coach, Zach Crabtree.

Crabtree was brought on board from USC by Entz on Friday. With the acquisition of transfers like USC’s Gino Quinones and Iowa tight end Kyson Van Vugt, the Bulldogs appear focused on recruits who can help Entz’s ground-oriented offense.
