UPDATED: 5/8/20

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 Thursday for Isaiah Newcombe. The 6-1, 175-pound wide receiver at Casteel collected a Mountain West one from Fresno State (his fifth from the conference). 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 16 Division I offers. Fresno State returns 17 starters this season. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs were one of five teams in the MW to not get any spring practices in before team activities were shut down. FSU finished 4-8 last season and is scheduled to open at home in Bulldog Stadium against Idaho State on Sept. 5.

Concordia College, a Division III school in northwest Minnesota, has been busy this week and offered seven players in just the last two days. Receiving offers from the Cobbers were Ironwood cornerback Sebastian Fiery-Hardimon, Verrado defensive end Jacob Carpenter, Cienega cornerback Qwestin Litz, Mountain Ridge offensive guard Sean Sisco, Pinnacle offensive guard Alec Bernardo, Pinnacle center Jake LeBlanc, and Casteel cornerback Caleb Parker. Junior Day for Concordia was originally scheduled for May 17. However, due to the current pandemic, no campus visits are allowed and it's forced the school to think outside the box. Instead, the team is doing a total of six virtual sessions being conducted through video conferencing. Division III schools are permitted to use these virtual platforms through Aug. 1. For the class of 2020, the Cobbers signed nearly 60 players. Last season, Concordia won its final three games to finish even at 5-5. The Cobbers finished at 5-3 in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play, marking the seventh time in the last eight years that Concordia has won at least five MIAC games in a season.

Corona del Sol's leader in tackles last season, Jake Schmitt, earned his third Big Sky Conference offer on Friday from Weber State. The 6-2, 205-pound linebacker was a First Team All-6A Central Region selection after his 94-tackle junior year. A two-way player, Schmitt also caught 24 passes for 391 yards and five touchdowns. Schmitt is athletic, tough, and can cover ground from sideline to sideline. Weber State had one of the Co-Big Sky Conference's Defensive Players of the Year in Jonah Williams last season. The defensive end signed with the Rams as a free agent. WSU won its third straight conference title, went 11-4, and advanced to the FCS semifinals. 2019 marked the fourth straight year the Wildcats made the playoffs and the 11 wins tied for the most in Weber State history.

Here's the rest of the offers for Thursday and Friday:

Central wide receiver Eric Lira received an offer from St. Francis (Ill.).
Chandler linebacker Kyler Orr received an offer from Idaho.
Chandler offensive tackle Sione Hingano received his first offer from Idaho.
Boulder Creek offensive guard Jacob Moore received an offer from Southwest Minnesota State.
Boulder Creek linebacker Colby Kitson received his first offer from La Verne (Calif.).
Verrado cornerback Jayden Harrington received an offer from Simpson (Iowa).
Valley Christian tight end Chandler Carter received an offer from Simpson.
Mountain Pointe linebacker Jason Ramirez-Corpuz received his first offer from Simpson.
Arizona College Prep quarterback Mark Chavez received an offer from Simpson.
Desert Ridge running back Josiah Kidd received an offer from Hope (Mich.).
Centennial wide receiver Rashon Adams received an offer from Abilene Christian (Tex.).
Arizona College Prep running back Richie Williams received an offer from Simpson.
Higley linebacker Kayden Sutter received an offer from Simpson.
Desert Edge wide receiver Andrew Patterson received an offer from Abilene Christian.
Cesar Chavez linebacker Jovoni Ervin received his first offer from St. Francis (Ill.).

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.

UPDATED: 5/8/20

The recruitment of Bram Walden began more than two years ago when he received his first offer during spring ball following his freshman year.

The 6-4, 270-pound offensive tackle at Saguaro continued to accumulate offers, eventually gaining the likes of Florida State, LSU, Ohio State, Texas, and the entire Pac-12 Conference.

On Friday, Walden made his decision and committed to the Oregon Ducks.

It will be the second year in a row that Oregon gets a player from SagU as his teammate, Jaylan Jeffers, signed a letter of intent last December.

Rated a four-star prospect by Rivals, it also continues the exodus of going out of state for Arizona's best. According to Ralph Amsden, Managing Editor of Arizona Varsity, Walden is the 23rd consecutive recruit rated four stars or higher by Rivals that has committed to a team from outside of State 48 (that dates back to 2016).

A strong blocker that also shows athleticism, Walden was invited to play in (and committed to) the 2021 All-American Bowl in San Antonio next January.

Oregon was the fifth of the 30 Division I schools to offer Walden, doing so in January of his sophomore year. The Ducks now have commitments from seven players for the '21 class.

Oregon had four players drafted by the NFL last month. In addition to quarterback Justin Herbert (who went No. 6 overall to the Chargers), a pair of offensive linemen heard their names called. Justin Lemeiux was taken by the Giants in the fifth round and Jake Hanson was selected in the sixth round by the Packers. Those players helped the Ducks go 12-2, become the Pac-12 champion, and win the Rose Bowl over Wisconsin. The program is certainly back after winning just four games in the 2016 season.
