UPDATED: 5/3/20

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 330 players from the Class of 2020 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Of course, everything in sports has been ground to a halt due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. Recruiting is not immune to that. The NCAA has extended its dead period for in-person recruiting through at least May 31. Schools are not permitted to host any official or unofficial on-campus visits during that time. Coaches are allowed to contact prospective student-athletes through phone calls, text messages, and in writing (but not in person). That is currently in effect for every sport in Division I and Division II.

It was another Division I offer on Wednesday for Isaiah Newcombe. The 6-1, 175-pound wide receiver at Casteel collected it from Tulane. Newcombe had 48 receptions for 661 yards and seven touchdowns as the Colts went 9-4 and made the 5A semifinals. Newcombe carries a 3.5 GPA and is a three-sport athlete (basketball & track). He has a strong work ethic and has seen his recruiting take off with 13 Division I offers. Tulane had two players drafted last weekend led by Darnell Mooney in the fifth round by the Bears. In addition to that, running back Darius Bradwell signed a free agent contract with the Chargers and Christian Montano agreed to one with the Steelers. Bradwell and Montano helped the Green Wave to the nation's No. 11 rushing attack. Tulane finished 7-6 and won the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth over Southern Mississippi. Newcombe added an offer from Idaho on Thursday. Idaho just had a receiver with Arizona ties make it to the highest level. Jeff Cotton, who previously played at Marana Mountain View HS and Pima CC, signed with the Chargers as a free agent. He led the entire FCS in receptions per game (8.8). Cotton's last game was played in Flagstaff last November and he set a Vandal record with 18 catches for 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Idaho finished 5-7 last season.

Jacob Cisneros earned an Ivy League offer from Yale on Wednesday. Cisneros, a 5-10, 195-pound running back at Boulder Creek, rushed for 1,472 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. We here at Arizona Varsity named Cisneros our 6A Offensive Breakout Player of the Year. He now has three offers. Against Perry last September, Cisneros racked up more than 150 yards each in rushing, receiving, and kick returns, totaling 533 all-purpose yards. In addition to his play on the football field, Cisneros competes in wrestling and track for the Jaguars. He maintains a GPA of 3.6. Yale finished last year with an FCS ranking of No. 22 after a 9-1 season and the team's second Ivy League title in three years. The Bulldogs stretched their win streak to six after rallying from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat Harvard in The Game, 50-43 in double overtime. The Yale offense was piling up points as the Bulldogs scored at least 45 in each of their last five games.

Chandler looks to have another strong passing game this season and one of its receivers gained another Division I offer on Thursday. Jalen Richmond received it from San Jose State. The 6-1, 185-pounder had 41 catches for 725 yards and nine touchdowns as the Wolves went 13-0 and won the Open Division State Championship. Expect CHS to be nationally ranked once again as it returns QB Mikey Keene and WR Kyion Grayes. Once the current crisis subsides, Richmond is planning college visits to Fresno State, New Mexico State, Northern Illinois, and Toledo. San Jose State got six of its spring practices in before having to shut down. The Spartans went 5-7 last year, their most victories in a season since 2015. SJSU plays in the Mountain West Conference. On Saturday, Richmond tacked on an offer from Eastern Michigan. Later this summer, the Mid-American Conference will hold its first virtual football media day. Following the two-day media preview, each of the schools in the conference will be highlighted over the next 12 days. Eastern Michigan competes in the West Division of the MAC and went 6-7 last season. The Eagles played in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit last December.

A teammate of Newcombe got a new offer on Friday. That would be offensive tackle Justin Thomas and it came from Southeast Missouri State. The 6-3, 285-pound offensive tackle was a Second Team All-5A San Tan Region performer as a junior. The Casteel offense averaged 39 points and a balanced 437 yards per game. Southeast Missouri State was the Ohio Valley Conference champions in 2019. For the first time in program history, the Redhawks made back-to-back FCS playoff appearances. SEMO finished 9-4 and had a 13-game home winning streak, which was snapped against Illinois State in the first round.

Richard Kwete obtained his first offer on Thursday from Northern Arizona, despite playing in just three games last season. Kwete transferred from Cortez to Sunnyslope after his sophomore season and had to sit the first five games last year. In his first game for the Vikings, the 6-3, 250-pound defensive tackle had six tackles and two sacks in a 42-7 victory over Kellis. In addition to football, Kwete is a rugby player. He is also a younger brother of twins Eloi and Cosmos Kwete. Cosmas is a freshman defensive lineman at Washington State and Eloi is also on the D-Line at Northern Arizona. The brothers came to the United States after spending years in an African refugee camp. NAU had two players sign free agent contracts after last weekend's NFL Draft. Quarterback Case Cookus signed with the Giants and defensive back Khalil Dorsey inked with the Ravens. The Lumberjacks finished 4-8 last season.

A third Casteel player makes this space as offensive tackle Brock Dieu picked up an in-state offer from Arizona State on Saturday. The Sun Devils are the third Pac-12 team to offer the 6-2, 280-pound lineman. Dieu was a First Team All-5A Conference selection last season. He takes accelerated classes and carries a 4.0 GPA. Dieu has also played on the varsity for both the wrestling and track teams. For the second year in a row, Arizona State had a wide receiver selected in the first round as Brandon Aiyuk was selected by the 49ers. Only ASU and Oklahoma had wide receivers picked in the first round in each of the past two NFL Drafts. The Sun Devils finished 8-5 last year and topped Florida State in the Sun Bowl at El Paso on New Year's Eve.

Simpson College was busy this week making offers to many players in the state. Pocketing offers from the Storm were Buena running back Isaac Benoit, Sunrise Mountain cornerback Elijah Anderson, Salpointe cornerback Parker Pelletier, Walden Grove wide receiver Ty McDermott, Mountain Ridge offensive guard Sean Sisco, Cactus Shadows safety Tanner Dimond, Sunnyside wide receiver Anthony Galvez, Ironwood Ridge quarterback Peyton Pelletier, Casteel center Mason Phillips, and Ironwood Ridge wide receiver Thomas Smith. It will be a difficult schedule for Simpson as the Storm will face three teams that made the Division III playoffs last year. Simpson begins with a road trip to Texas to face Mary Hardin-Baylor on Sept. 5. Later, the team will have American River Conference games away from home at Wartburg (Iowa) and Central (Iowa). Simpson, located in Indianola, Iowa, started 4-1 last season, but finished at 5-5.

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

Campo Verde running back Caden Calloway received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Chandler tight end Eli Swope received his first offer from Colorado School of Mines.
Brophy running back Myles Newble received his first offer from Saint John's (Minn.).
Peoria offensive guard Trey Hendrix received his first offer from Southwest Minnesota State.
Chaparral wide receiver Max Minor received his first offer from Southwest Minnesota State.
Arizona College Prep quarterback Mark Chavez received an offer from St. Norbert (Wisc.).
Westview quarterback Nico Vasko received his first offer from Mayville State (N. Dak.).
Salpointe cornerback Parker Pelletier received an offer from St. Norbert.
Walden Grove wide receiver Ty McDermott received an offer from Culver-Stockton (Mo.).
Verrado safety Austin Bilski received an offer from Saint John's (Minn.).
Desert Ridge running back Josiah Kidd received an offer from Lake Forest (Ill.).
Ironwood Ridge quarterback Peyton Pelletier received an offer from St. Norbert.

This list shows four-year college offers received by juniors throughout the state. It's not limited to just 6A and 5A. It will be constantly updated as we approach the Early Signing Period from December 16-18. Those are the first days that high school seniors can sign a letter of intent to agree to attend an institution.

Verbal commitments are shown in bold.

UPDATED: 4/23/20

That pipeline from Arizona high schools to Cal is still going strong.

Hunter Barth, a 6-2, 200-pound safety at Queen Creek committed to the Bears on Thursday. He received his offer from California during the Bulldogs' playoff run last November.

"Cal has always stood out to me because of the great academic opportunity as well as the great football," Barth said in a text message. "I'm also very intrigued by the upward trend of the program under (head coach Justin) Wilcox."

Like many from State 48, Charlie Ragle was the primary recruiter of Barth. Ragle, the former head coach at Chaparral during a three-year title run, is in his fourth year at Cal and is currently the special teams coordinator. In that time, the Bears have signed nine players from Arizona and now have two commitments for the 2021 class.

A versatile athlete, Barth not only plays in the secondary (51 tackles last season), but also on offense as a receiver (21 catches, 255 yards) for QCHS. He could fit in either as a blitzer from the linebacker position, or in coverage as a defensive back.

During the quarantine, Barth has been working out in his garage at home daily. He also goes out to a nearby park a few times a week for speed and conditioning workouts.

Arizona Varsity's Cody Cameron gave a breakdown of Barth's game for the Golden Bear Report.

The Golden Bears now have commitments from seven players for the '21 class.

Cal will likely have a pair of defensive players drafted this week by the NFL with safety Ashtyn Davis and linebacker Evan Weaver.

Barth had offers from seven schools in the Pac-12 plus Iowa State, Oklahoma State, and Virginia among his 19 total offers.

Assuming Davis and/or Weaver get drafted, it will continue a successful string of Cal players making the NFL. The Bears have had a player selected in 31 of the past 33 drafts. Rams quarterback Jared Goff was one of two No. 1 picks in Cal history. Last season, the Bears finished 8-5 after defeating Illinois in the Redbox Bowl in nearby Santa Clara. This season begins in Las Vegas on Aug. 29 against UNLV. Cal will travel to Tempe to face Arizona State on Nov. 7.
