How many SLAC ED admits are recruited athletes?

I’m pretty sure highly selective LACs only have spots for a handful (I’m guessing 5 or so) QB or Posse applicants. Apart from recruited athletes, the other spots are almost certainly going to applicants who fulfil institutional needs at each college. So most likely not an unhooked ORM applicant, barring something exceptional. What each college deems exceptional is the $64,000 question.

SLACs are not just admitting recruited athletes ED. I admit I don’t know a lot about athletic recruiting. I’m aware that some sports are prioritized over others. But I am pretty sure that institutional needs apart from athletics must be an important factor at many LACs. A fairly recent post from this thread is relevant. NESCAC Schools - #351 by CLJNMOM
