Gridiron Arizona's 2021 Recruiting Update: 5/11

UPDATED: 5/11/20

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 last Saturday for Isaiah Newcombe. The 6-1, 175-pound wide receiver at Casteel collected a Mountain West one from Boise State (his sixth 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 17 Division I offers. Boise State had three players taken in the NFL Draft last month. One of them was wide receiver John Hightower, who was selected by the Eagles in the fifth round. He led the Broncos in receiving yards and touchdowns last season. Boise State went a perfect 8-0 in conference play, won the championship game against Hawaii and played in the Las Vegas Bowl. The Broncos finished at 12-2.

Concordia College, a Division III school in northwest Minnesota, was been last week offering players throughout the state. Receiving an offer from the Cobbers last Saturday was Hayden Preston. The 6-2, 240-pound offensive tackle at Campo Verde has an explosive first step and excellent technique in pass blocking. Preston was part of a Coyote offensive line that helped the team average 32 points per game, go 10-4, and make the 5A title game. 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.

Air Force offered a pair of East Valley players last Saturday. The Falcons extended offers to Ammon Allen and Kyler Orr. Allen is a 6-2, 195-pound safety at Highland. He totaled 75 tackles and intercepted four passes last season. In addition to carrying a 3.6 GPA, he was on the track team competing in both the 110-meter hurdles and the javelin. Orr is a 6-2, 220-pound linebacker at Chandler. He had 84 tackles and a pair of sacks for the Wolves last season. Orr is an explosive tackler and also totes a 3.56 GPA. Air Force had its best record during its time in the Mountain West with a 7-1 record last year. The Falcons ended up 11-2 and defeated Washington State in the Cheez-It Bowl at Chase Field. The AFA will play its first conference game in Colorado Springs this season against Boise State on Sept. 12. Allen added an offer from Navy on Monday. Navy had one of its most successful seasons in 2019. The Mids defeated Air Force and Army to claim the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy. The final record for Navy was 11-2, which established a school record for wins. This year's game against Air Force is scheduled for Oct. 3 in Colorado Springs.

Queen Creek safety Krew Jackson gained an offer from Navy on Monday. Jackson (6-5, 190), made 72 tackles and intercepted two passes for the Bulldogs. He now has 19 offers. Jackson has experience playing both free and strong safety. With that frame, some schools have been recruiting him as a linebacker. In breaking down his film, Arizona Varsity's Cody Cameron said Jackson doesn't shy away from contact. In the classroom, Jackson maintains a 3.9 GPA.

Another military offer went out to Centennial offensive tackle Caiden Miles on Monday from Air Force. The 6-4, 295-pound lineman is a monster in the weight room and has squatted 525 pounds. Miles used that strength to help the Coyotes rush for 204 yards per game as they went 9-2 and made the Open Division tournament. He carries a 3.81 GPA and has Ivy League offers from Columbia and Yale.

Abilene Christian extended offers to a pair of defensive players on Monday. Orr and Kyle Pointer got them from the Wildcats. Pointer is a 6-3, 210-pound defensive end and linebacker at Casteel. He had 78 tackles and forced a couple fumbles. Back in February, Pointer traveled to Los Angeles to compete in the Rivals Combine. Pointer also possesses a 3.5 GPA. Abilene Christian is an FCS program, but the Wildcats are setting up games with bigger competition. ACU will open the 2020 season in College Station at Texas A&M on Sept. 5. The 'Cats also have games scheduled against SMU (2021), Kansas State (2022), Texas Tech (2024), and New Mexico State (2024). Abilene Christian is a member of the Southland Conference and went 5-7 last year.

One of Orr's teammates, Jeremiah Tyler, also earned an offer last Saturday. The 6-2, 225-pound defensive tackle got it from Howard. Tyler had 65 tackles and 7.5 sacks for the Wolves, which is especially impressive when you consider he converted from running back to defensive lineman. He has a strong rip move, a quick first step, and will be playing on perhaps the most feared D-Line in the state this fall. The offer from the Bison is his seventh, all since February. Howard will open the season in Canton, Ohio playing in the Black College Hall of Fame Classic against Central State (Ohio) on Sunday, Sept. 6. The first home game for the Bison (2-10 in 2019) doesn't come until Oct. 17 (game six) when Delaware State will come to the nation's capital for Homecoming. Howard plays in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (FCS).

Here's the rest of the offers since Saturday:

Arizona College Prep running back Richie Williams received an offer from Saint John's (Minn.).
Skyline safety Tyler Speece received an offer from Saint John's.
Casteel center Mason Phillips received an offer from Culver-Stockton (Mo.).

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: 5/10/20

Poston Butte running back Zion Burns, who is coming off a 1,500-yard season, has committed to play at Nevada for the 2021 season.

Burns confirmed his decision on his Twitter page, writing "A big thank you to all the coaches who recruited me and believed in me allowing my dream of playing D-1 football to become a reality.".

The 6-foot, 180-pound Burns ran for 20 touchdowns averaging 9.8 yards per carry. He also scored on nine two-point conversion attempts. Arizona Varsity named him as our 4A Breakout Player of the Year.

In March, before everything was shut down, Burns went on a visit to the campus in Reno. Nevada was the first school to offer him in late February.

"Nevada felt like home to me," Burns said in a text message. "The coaching staff treated my family and me like family and made me feel wanted. My family and I decided that's the best option."

Nevada is recruiting Burns as a defensive back. Last season, he made 39 tackles, intercepted a pass, and recovered a fumble. He is the second player to commit to the Wolf Pack for this class (the other is an offensive tackle from Dallas).

Nevada is coming off its second straight bowl appearance. Last year's trip was to Boise for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The Wolf Pack (7-6 last season) has six games scheduled for Mackay Stadium in 2020 with non-conference contests against UC Davis and UTEP. Nevada will open Mountain West Conference play on Sept. 26 when it plays host to San Diego State. The road schedule includes some long trips as the Wolf Pack travels to Arkansas, South Florida, and Hawaii.
