The team's recent success has drawn significant attention from top recruits, with several high-profile prospects committing to the Ascenders in the past year. The contract extension is expected to solidify the program's position as a top destination for top talent in the state. As a result, the Ascenders will face increased competition from other top programs in the state, setting the stage for a highly competitive 2026 season.
