Cibola tight end Hoffmeyer gets Division I scholarship offer from Air Force

Advertisement

UPDATED: 11/29/20

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 350 players from the Class of 2020 signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Upcoming games listed are given in Arizona times.

The Mountain West Conference has entered the recruiting radar for Liam Hoffmeyer as the Air Force Academy became his first FBS offer last Monday. The 6-4, 240-pound tight end had an abbreviated senior season at Cibola (3-1). In those four games, Hoffmeyer played on both sides of the ball and caught 16 passes for 279 yards. He also made nine tackles on defense. Hoffmeyer is extremely motivated, was a state champion wrestler at 195 pounds last year, and carries a 4.05 GPA. He is being recruited by USAFA tight ends coach Jonathan Himebauch, who held the same position with Tampa Bay in the XFL earlier this year. Air Force will play for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy on Dec. 19 at Army. The Falcons have already defeated Navy this season. Air Force (2-2) did not play on this Thanksgiving week as its home game against Colorado State was canceled due to COVID-19 case counts among CSU players and staff. This week, the Falcons will travel to Utah State (1-4) for a Thursday night game. CBS Sports Network will have the broadcast at 7:30 p.m.

Ironwood Ridge defensive back Cook commits to Morehead State

UPDATED: 11/29/20

The abrupt shutdown of the football season in Pima County led to Dylan Cook focusing his attention towards his collegiate decision.

The Ironwood Ridge safety committed to Morehead State last Tuesday.

"They have a great coaching staff that's been in contact with me throughout this whole year," Cook said in a text message. "Also, they have a great criminal justice program, which was exactly what I was looking for."

Cook (6-2, 205) was a Second Team All-5A Southern Region selection as a junior. In 2020, the Nighthawks played just two games. In what ended up being his final game, Cook had a 25-yard reception against Canyon del Oro.

Morehead State, located in Kentucky, was the first Division I school to offer Cook, doing so in April. He also held offers from Carroll, Northern State, and South Dakota School of Mines.

Morehead State is in the Pioneer Football League (FCS), which has endorsed a six-game schedule to be played this upcoming spring. If conditions allow, it is slated to take place between March 13 and April 17. Last year, the Eagles finished 5-7.


Northern Arizona continues to remain active in recruiting athletes from within the state and the Lumberjacks received commitments from three linemen this week.

Dante Smith, Caiden Miles, and Andrew Mason each announced their intentions to attend school and play for the Big Sky program up in Flagstaff.

Smith is a 6-3, 280-pound lineman at Desert Ridge. He was a First Team All-6A Central Region choice on the offensive line as a junior. NAU is recruiting him as a defensive tackle.

"The program is amazing," Smith said in a text message. "It's close to home, great coaches, and the interest they had in me was not just as a football player, but as a person."

Smith had 19 tackles in six games for the Jaguars, along with two sacks. He also had a unique two-interception game in a win over Mountain Ridge last month.

Miles is a 6-4, 290-pound offensive tackle at Centennial. He initially committed to UNLV back in May. However, the Rebels offered a junior college player and if he took it, that was going to be Miles' scholarship spot. NAU contacted him immediately after hearing the news. Miles likes being relatively close to home as the pandemic continues.

"I didn't know how going far away would fare," Miles said. "The coaches are absolutely amazing."

Miles was recruited by offensive line coach Bob Connelly. He is looking into studying physical therapy.

Mason is a 6-5, 280-pound offensive tackle at Perry. He was a Second Team All-6A Premier Region selection on the offensive line as a junior. He brings the combination of size and speed and announced his commitment on Sunday.

"I have created a great relationship with the coaches and I love what they are doing with their program," Mason said in a text message. "I love their campus and saw myself succeeding up at NAU."

The Lumberjacks have now received commitments from 10 seniors from Arizona.

NAU conducted a fall camp earlier this month in preparation for its season opener on Feb. 27 vs. Montana in the Walkup Skydome. There are two bye weeks built into a six-game schedule for the conference. The FCS playoffs, which are being reduced from 24 to 16 teams this season, will begin on April 24. The Lumberjacks finished 4-8 last year.


Chaparral is on to the 6A semifinals this week and so is offensive tackle Mason Osborn. The 6-4, 310-pound lineman has helped the Firebirds average almost 37 points per game this season. Osborn has also decided on a college.

Osborn will be getting away from the big city and settling in up in Aberdeen, South Dakota and playing Division II football at Northern State. He visited the school a couple weeks ago.

"The coaches were great and it felt like a family while I was up there," Osborn said in a text message. "It's a nice small college campus, which I enjoy."

Northern State (enrollment 3,600) is only a little larger than Chaparral (enrollment 2,350). He selected the Wolves over six other schools.

Osborn has been a volunteer coach for the past four years in the local junior football program.

Northern State didn't get to have a fall football season, but the team did hold an intrasquad scrimmage last month at Swisher Field. The Wolves compete in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference and finished 6-5 in 2019.


Another offensive lineman continuing on in the semifinals is Hayden Preston. The 6-2, 240-pound tackle will be trying to get Campo Verde back to the 5A title game this Friday. Preston has committed to Lake Forest College in Illinois, which has been a haven for many Arizona recruits over the past few years.

Lake Forest head coach Jim Catanzaro has a roster for his Division III program that includes a whopping 38 players from Arizona high schools.

"Coach Cat showed genuine interest in me back to my sophomore year," Preston said in a text message. "I always appreciated that. LFC has tremendous reach with alumni, so there is a great network for post-grad opportunities."

It is beyond the four years of being able to play football for the Foresters that Preston is looking at.

"Football comes and will soon go, but I think this school will give me a great start to the real world," Preston said. "Smaller is better for me personally, regarding the student-teacher ratio and personal involvement in my education."

Preston, who usually begins a season during the triple-digit temperatures of August is looking forward to getting out of the heat after playing and practicing in it for 10 years.

Lake Forest didn't play a fall season, but many of the Arizona crew have been working out on a weekly basis and some from outside the state have joined them for the warmer weather and team bonding. The Foresters are in the Midwest Conference and went 7-3 last year, including 4-1 in North Division play (good for second place).


Unlike athletes at the Division I level, those looking for Division III schools have been able to check out colleges. Alex Culbertson, a wide receiver at Walden Grove, had a visit to Simpson College in Iowa in September. He announced his commitment to the Storm last Tuesday.

"The thing that led me to Simpson was definitely the atmosphere that the school gave to me," Culbertson said in a text message. "I want to be a Criminal Justice major and meeting a professor and talking to them about it was a great way to understand more about their academics. Meeting coaches and knowing that I will fit in there really helped me decide.

The 5-9, 180-pounder plays in the slot and caught a touchdown pass against Sahuaro. Walden Grove (3-1) had its last three games canceled as Southern Arizona opted to end its modified football season early.

Simpson is a member of the American Rivers Conference, which recently announced a schedule for football as it's being moved from fall to next spring. The Storm will play three games against A-R-C competition. The team won't leave the state of Iowa as it has road games at Buena Vista and Central on March 27 and April 3, respectively. Simpson will have its lone home game (and Senior Day) on April 10 against Coe. The Storm went 5-5 last year, defeating Buena Vista and falling to Central and Coe.
