Perry long snapper Sands offered by Weber State

UPDATED: 12/26/20

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.

With the playoffs completed and my vacation taken, we've entered the offseason. That means we go back to daily updates here on the Recruiting Page. Keep checking Arizona Varsity for the latest updates leading up to National Signing Day the first Wednesday of February.

Upcoming games listed are given in Arizona times.

Texas extended an offer to Pinnacle wide receiver/safety Dorian Singer on Monday evening. The 6-foot, 170-pound athlete transferred to the Valley from Minnesota last summer. Singer went on to lead the Pioneers in receiving with 37 catches for 664 yards this year. For the season, he scored 10 of Pinnacle's 25 touchdowns. The offer is Singer's third from a Power Five team and second from the Big 12. He was named to the 12 Sports All-Fever team at wide receiver. Texas is ranked No. 20 and will represent the conference in the Alamo Bowl for the second straight year as the Longhorns face Colorado (4-1) on Dec. 29 in San Antonio. ESPN will have the national broadcast at 7 p.m. The Longhorns finished the regular season at 6-3 and won four of their last five games. Texas is trying to win a bowl game for the fourth straight year under head coach Tom Herman.

Arizona College Prep made it back-to-back playoff seasons in 2020. The Knights' leading tackler was Joel Diaz, who received an offer from Morehead State on Monday. The 6-1, 180-pound safety now has two Division I offers after an 84-tackle eight-game season. Diaz also intercepted three passes to give him 13 for his four-year varsity career. He doesn't just work hard on the field either. Diaz totes a GPA of 4.8 and was a team captain. Morehead State may not have been able to play this fall, but the Eagles will still compete for a Pioneer Football League (FCS) championship in the spring. MSU will have a seven-game season starting with a trip to James Madison (Va.) on Feb. 20. That will be followed by six conference games. Morehead State, located in Kentucky, finished 5-7 in 2019.

Desert Edge averaged 426 yards and scored just under 30 points per game en route to a perfect 8-0 regular season and a spot in the Open Division playoffs. One of the O-Linemen that allowed the Scorpions to post those numbers was guard Jayden Ahboah, who collected an offer from Fort Lewis on Wednesday. The 6-5, 300-pound lineman has a tremendous work ethic to go with that size. He worked all through the long offseason on his footwork and it paid off for both Ahboah's team and his recruitment. Fort Lewis is in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (Div. II), which postponed its fall season and will not have a spring conference championship. Each member school can set up their own games, which would basically be exhibitions. As of yet, Fort Lewis has not scheduled any contests. The college is located in Durango, Colorado and the Skyhawks finished 3-7 in 2019.

Keeping it in the RMAC, Black Hills State offered a pair of East Valley players this week. Ethan Hunt and Christian Earls gained them from the Yellow Jackets. Hunt is a 6-3, 235-pound defensive end at Casteel. He had 38 tackles in his first year as a starter as the Colts made the playoffs in their first year in 6A. Hunt is a multi-sport athlete and plays catcher for the baseball team as well. Earls is a 6-7, 240-pound tight end at Basha. He worked hard to return in 2020 after missing his junior year due to a collarbone injury. With his size, he provides for a nice target when running routes. Like Casteel, Basha was also a 6A playoff participant. Black Hills State put together an abbreviated fall schedule, but was able to play just two games. The Yellow Jackets' last two were canceled in November due to an increase of cases in the area surrounding its campus in South Dakota. BHSU (0-2) was able to play just two of its five originally-scheduled games.

Arizona has long been a target for colleges when it comes to long snappers. That has continued this year and the latest to earn an offer is Grant Sands, who got it from Weber State. The 6-foot, 215-pounder at Perry is ranked No. 7 in the nation at long snapping for the Class of 2021 by Kohl's Kicking Camps. Back in July, he won a spot in the Under Armour All-American Game during the National Scholarship Camp in Tennessee. The all-star showcase (scheduled for next month) has been canceled, but Sands' offer from the Wildcats (his first) has not. Weber State has won three straight Big Sky Conference championships and advanced to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs during an 11-4 season in 2019. As expected, WSU is the favorite in the conference for 2021 as it begins a six-game spring season on Feb. 27. Weber, based in Ogden, Utah, will start on the road at long-time rival Idaho State.

Here's the rest of the offers since last Monday:

Vista Grande defensive tackle Skyler Higdon received an offer from Augustana College (Ill.).
Desert Ridge tight end Jake Kostoryz received an offer from Carleton (Minn.).
Basha wide receiver Carson Bachmann received an offer from Buena Vista (Iowa).
Higley linebacker Quinton Crosby received an offer from Buena Vista.

This list shows four-year college offers received by seniors throughout the state. It's not limited to just 6A and 5A. It will be constantly updated as we approach National Signing Day on February 3. That is the next day that high school seniors can sign a letter of intent to agree to attend an institution.

Gila Ridge athlete Wilson-Jones commits to Northern Colorado

UPDATED: 12/25/20

After moving to Yuma from Maryland, Jaheim Wilson-Jones played just one season of high school football in Arizona and while it wasn't a complete one when it comes to games played, there was a lot to document.

The 6-foot, 170-pound cornerback and wide receiver at Gila Ridge never lost a game while on the Hawks and contributed in a big way on both sides of the ball. On Christmas Day, Wilson-Jones announced his commitment to Northern Colorado.

He caught 20 passes for 662 yards (33 yards per reception!) and scored eight touchdowns. On defense, Wilson-Jones intercepted four passes. He did all of this in just five games as Gila Ridge was limited to playing the other three public schools in Yuma and its season was cut short after just five games, during which the Hawks went a perfect 5-0.

Wilson-Jones received his offer from UNC in August. Prior to his senior season, he was a two-year starter at Aberdeen HS.

Northern Colorado has been patiently waiting for the head coaching debut of Ed McCaffrey. It will come on Feb. 27 when the Bears travel to Idaho to kick off a six-game Big Sky Conference (FCS) season. UNC had a fall camp in October and will return to the practice field in January to get ready for its spring season. The Bears finished 2-10 last year.


Millennium standout Jaylen Hawkins played for Lamar Early, who was born and raised on the west side.

Hawkins, 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, announced on Thursday night that he will be staying in the West Valley for college as he has committed to Ottawa University in Surprise.

"I loved the coaches," Hawkins said in a text message. "They made me feel like they would put me in a position to succeed. (Assistant) Coach (Alex) Stebbins made me feel like I have a chance to play at the position I want to play. It is close to home as well."

He played on both sides of the ball for the Tigers at running back and safety. Millennium took the field for just six games this year, but Hawkins ranked second on the team in rushing (166 yards) and tackles (46).

In the last game of his HS career, Hawkins scored a pair of touchdowns in the first half of a 47-6 win over Kellis. It is at RB that Ottawa is recruiting him.

The original 2020 schedule was cancelled for OUAZ, but the Spirit will be playing a six-game conference schedule in the spring. The defending Sooner Athletic Conference champions will start on the road at Texas Wesleyan on Feb. 27. Ottawa defeated all six of its opponents on the upcoming schedule last year. The Spirit finished 9-2 and made the NAIA playoffs in just its second season of football.
