Concordia College offers Sahuarita 2-way athlete Friend

UPDATED: 5/18/20

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. A total of 340 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 June 30. 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.

Jacob Cisneros made First Team All-6A Desert Valley Region at both running back and kick returner. The 5-10, 195-pounder at Boulder Creek received an offer from West Virginia State on Sunday. Cisneros was Arizona Varsity's choice as our 6A Breakout Player of the Year after rushing for 1,472 yards and 11 touchdowns in his junior year. In special teams, he averaged 31 yards per kick return and brought two back for scores. Cisneros also carries a 3.5 GPA. As things stand for now, West Virginia State will open the season at home against Shippensburg (Pa.) on Sept. 5. That will be followed by nine conference games against fellow Mountain East Conference (Div. II) schools. The Yellow Jackets finished 7-4 last season and played for the MEC championship. The seven conference wins were the most for WVSU in its history. It was also the school's third straight winning season.

Concordia College in Minnesota has been giving virtual tours with the current pandemic going on. The Cobbers have also been extending offers and did so again on Monday with one to Tanner-James Friend. The 5-10, 165-pound cornerback and wide receiver was a First Team All-3A South Region selection as the Defensive/Utility Flex player. Friend caught just four passes as a receiver (although two of them went for touchdowns). However, he was very involved in the blocking schemes for a run-heavy attack that generated 215 yards on the ground per game. On defense, Friend plays cornerback. Concordia is big on bringing in numbers. The Cobbers recruited their fifth straight class with 50 or more new incoming freshman for the Class off 2020. Five of those played their high school ball right here in Arizona. Concordia won its last three games to finish at 5-5 last season. The Cobbers play in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (Div. III).

Here's the rest of the offers from Sunday and Monday:

Marcos de Niza cornerback Daivon Nelson received his first offer from Saint John's (Minn.).
Walden Grove wide receiver Alex Culbertson received an offer from Culver-Stockton (Mo.).
Salpointe defensive end Brees McCraren received offers from Concordia Coll. (Minn.), Wisconsin-River Falls, and Culver-Stockton.
Verrado defensive end Jacob Carpenter received an offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Nogales wide receiver Ricky Hanlan IV received an offer from Culver-Stockton.
Salpointe cornerback Parker Pelletier received offers from Wisconsin-River Falls and Sewanee (Tenn.).
Buena running back Isaac Benoit received an offer from Culver-Stockton.
Notre Dame cornerback Sean Lehman received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Cienega linebacker Josiah Flores received an offer from Culver-Stockton.
Moon Valley cornerback Jordan Richardson received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Valley Christian quarterback Jadan Hanzal received an offer from Hope (Mich.).
Williams Field defensive tackle Aaron Wolfcale-Holsten received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Walden Grove kicker Adrian Alvarado received offers from Saint John's (Minn.) and Culver-Stockton.
Arizona College Prep safety Joel Diaz received an offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Boulder Creek quarterback Bear Milacek received an offer from Valparaiso (Ind.).
Centennial defensive end DJ Gleash received his first offer from Valparaiso.
Chandler wide receiver Jalen Richmond received an offer from Weber State (Utah).
Gilbert Christian cornerback Marcus McWilliams received an offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Pinnacle wide receiver Nate Hull received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Desert Mountain wide receiver Rogan Freeburg received an offer from Simpson (Iowa).
Desert Edge wide receiver Andrew Patterson received an offer from Weber State.

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.

Jonah Miller commits to Oregon Ducks

UPDATED: 5/18/20

Already having completed a transfer from Salpointe to Sahuaro, Jonah Miller also now has his recruiting out of the way before his senior year begins.

The 6-8, 285-pound offensive tackle announced his commitment to Oregon on Monday. He becomes the third Arizona prospect (and second O-Lineman) to pledge to the Ducks.

While at Salpointe, Miller helped pave the way for Bijan Robinson to become the state's all-time big-school rushing leader with 7,036 yards. The Lancers finished 10-1 last year and made the semifinals of the first Open Division tournament.

Miller received his offer from Oregon last year in May during Spring Ball. A couple weeks ago, he announced his Final 6 (out of 16 offers) which included Penn State, Arizona State, Washington, USC, and Texas.

In addition to Miller, Oregon has commitments from Saguaro offensive lineman Bram Walden and Mesquite quarterback Ty Thompson. Each of the trio are rated four-star prospects by Rivals.

Jordan Hamm of Sports360AZ.com spoke with Miller about his decision to become a Duck. Even though he wasn't able to take any official visits, Miller said Oregon was the place where he felt the most comfortable.

The future schedules at Oregon are built out to 2030 with the Ducks facing 17 different opponents in 29 games. This season, UO is slated to face North Dakota State, Ohio State, and Hawaii with all of those games at home in Eugene. The Buckeye game will certainly be a marquee one on Sept. 12. The Ducks' last game came against the Big Ten when they edged Wisconsin, 28-27 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. That capped a 12-2 season for the Pac-12 champions.
