UPDATED: 6/7/20

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 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 July 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.

Highland had another successful season in 2019, finishing with an 8-4 record with a defense that held opponents to 13.5 points per game. One of the leaders of that group in 2020 will be Ammon Allen. The 6-2, 195-pound safety received an offer from Eastern Michigan on Tuesday. Allen had 73 tackles and intercepted four passes as a junior. A new nutrition coach is helping him put on the "good" weight before his senior year. Off the field, Allen carries a 3.6 GPA. The offer from EMU is his fifth at the FBS level. Eastern Michigan will face a 12-game schedule consisting solely of FBS teams for the first time since 2017. The Eagles kick off the year on the road at Kentucky on Sept. 5. Last season, Eastern (6-7) won back-to-back Tuesday games in November to reach six wins and a spot in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit.

Concordia College in Minnesota extended offers to two more players on Tuesday. Adrian Alvarado and Josh Baxter collected them from the Cobbers. Alvarado is a 5-9, 160-pound football and soccer player at Walden Grove. With the graduation of last year's senior kicker, Alvarado is preparing for the starting duties. Earlier this week, he posted a video of himself booting three 60-yard field goals. Baxter is a 5-10, 200-pound running back at Saguaro. He's also getting ready for the final chapter of his high school football career. Baxter saw some action against Horizon in the Open Division playoffs and rushed for 52 yards on just five carries. Concordia welcomed a large recruiting class of at least 50 players for the fifth straight year in 2020. Five of those played high school ball in Arizona, including kicker Zane Kaupe (Queen Creek) and running back Ben Blancas (Casteel). The Cobbers play in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (Div. III).

On Friday, it was Ethan Hunt and Max LaVoy gaining their first offers from Concordia College. Hunt is a 6-3, 220-pound defensive end at Casteel. He recorded tackles in eight games for the Colts and registered a sack against Marana Mountain View. A multi-sport athlete, Hunt was a catcher on the baseball team. LaVoy plays on the other side of the ball as he's an offensive tackle at Notre Dame Prep. The 6-4, 290-pounder helped the Saints rush for 247 yards per game and win 11 of 13 games last season. LaVoy, who has a GPA of 3.8, is a member of the National Honor Society.

Andrew Hanzal will have another season at Valley Christian catching passes from his cousin, Jadon Hanzal. On Tuesday, Andrew was on the receiving end of his first offer from Hope College. Last season, he had 26 receptions for 540 yards and four touchdowns for the Trojans. The 6-2, 170-pound receiver and his VCHS teammates will open the season at home on Benson Field on Aug. 21 against Snowflake. Hope recorded the second nine-win season in school history during a 9-2 campaign in 2019. That was also good for a spot in the Division III playoffs. The Flying Dutchmen were the highest scoring team in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association at 46 points per game.

The University of Chicago became the first school to offer prospect Jack Whitten out of Chaparral. The 6-1, 180-pound safety had 54 tackles for the Firebirds last season. Back in February, Whitten attended junior day at Penn. Chicago is regarded as one of the top 10 schools in the country and Whitten has the grades with a 4.41 GPA. UChicago is a member of the Midwest Conference (Div. III) and finished second in the South Division with a 6-3 overall record. The season opener is scheduled for Sept. 5 on the road at Washington University (Mo.).

Tyler Reynolds has combined good grades, a great work ethic, leadership, and speed in the 40 into another offer. The Cactus Shadows dual-threat QB collected it from the College of Wooster. Reynolds (5-11, 170) will be battling for the starting position with incumbent Jaden White as both will be seniors. He has played tackle football for 12 years and is a National Honor Society member with a 3.94 GPA. Wooster finished 6-4 last season. The Fighting Scots held opponents to 162 points in 10 games, the program's best showing since 2008. Well-disciplined, Wooster was penalized just 45 times during the year. Wooster, located in northeastern Ohio, is a member of the North Coast Athletic Conference (Div. III).

If it was a Thursday, it was a day for Southwest Minnesota State to extend more offers. That was the case again this week as the Mustangs offered George Ramirez. The Red Mountain safety has been playing varsity football since late in his freshman year. Ramirez (5-10, 185) had 70 tackles and a pair of interceptions last season. He also saw some time on the offense, scoring seven touchdowns and compiling 452 total yards. Ramirez gets it done in the classroom as well with a 3.85 GPA. Southwest Minnesota had 41 players sign with the school in last February's recruiting class, including Hamilton quarterback Nick Arvay. The Mustangs are a Division II team and compete in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. SMSU finished 3-8 last season.

Alani Ma'afu is now at double digit offers having earned his 10th from Hawaii. The Saguaro defensive tackle had 53 tackles and three sacks for the Sabercats last season. Ma'afu (6-2, 265) was also used on goal line plays as a running back twice and scored touchdowns each time. In addition to football, he's a rugby player. Hawaii will begin the Todd Graham era this fall. The former Arizona State head coach was hired by the Rainbow Warriors in January. Hawaii went 10-5 and defeated BYU in the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. It was the Rainbow Warriors' first 10-win season since 2010.

Carleton College in Minnesota extended offers to four players during the week. Getting offers from the Knights were Shadow Ridge offensive guard Chris Stoica, Pinnacle offensive tackle Gavin Guarino, Walden Grove wide receiver Ty McDermott, and Chandler linebacker Daniel Fulton. What else do all four of these players have in common? Each has a GPA of 4.0 or higher. Carleton is one of the most selective schools in the country, accepting less than 20 percent of all applicants. It consistently ranks high among liberal arts colleges. As for its football program, Carleton finished last season at 4-6 (Div. III), it's highest win total since 2013. The Knights operated out of the Air Raid and averaged 276 passing yards per game and had 26 touchdown passes.

On Saturday, three more players pocketed offers from Carleton. Brophy wide receiver Jackson Camarata, Arizona College Prep linebacker Kellen Gibson, and Desert Edge linebacker Myles Hobbs received them from the Knights.

Gibson and McDermott were among five players that reaped offers from Kalamazoo College on Saturday. The others were O'Connor cornerback Joseph MacDonald, Salpointe cornerback Parker Pelletier, and Ironwood Ridge wide receiver Thomas Smith. Kalamazoo College is located right next to Western Michigan University. The Hornets (2-8 in 2019) play in the MIAA with Hope College. This year's game against the Flying Dutchmen is scheduled for Oct. 3 at home in Angell Field.

North Canyon defensive back Desmond Bohannon obtained an offer from Carthage College on Thursday. The safety had 31 tackles for the Rattlers last season. Since last offseason, Bohannon played 7-on-7 ball with OTB Elite and later ran track, competing in the sprints. Carthage brings back a lot of its roster after a 4-6 season last year. The Red Men compete in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. Carthage is located in Kenosha, Wisc.

Arizona College Prep made the playoffs for the first time in its three-year history in 2019. The Knights return running back Richie Williams, who rushed for 1,688 yards and 17 touchdowns. The 5-9, 190-pound back picked up an offer from Kenyon College on Wednesday. Williams was named the 3A Metro East Region Co-Offensive Player of the Year. He also handles the advanced curriculum at ACP and holds a 3.9 GPA. Kenyon finished with a 3-7 record last season. The Lords are in the North Coast Athletic Conference along with Wooster. This year's game against the Fighting Scots is scheduled for Oct. 24 at Wooster. Kenyon is located in Central Ohio in the village of Gambier.

Jack Schrieber missed most of the season due to injury, but was able to come back for the last two games. The 6-1, 180-pound wide receiver at Desert Mountain secured an offer from St. Norbert College on Sunday. In those two games, Schrieber had 10 catches for 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He got some work on the field last week with former Eagle Donovan McNabb and the coaching of Team Impact. Schrieber is an excellent student with a 4.2 GPA. St. Norbert won five straight games to advance to the Midwest Conference (Div. III) championship game. The Green Knights fell short in that one (in the closing seconds) and finished the year at 6-3. St. Norbert is located in Wisconsin near Green Bay.

Greenway had a 1,000-yard rusher for the second straight year. In 2019, it was Christian Johnson, who rolled up 1,693 yards and 21 touchdowns as the Demons finished 9-2. Johnson took in his first offer from Hamline on Friday. He posted at least 100 yards in every game but one (and in that one he had 89) last season. Johnson was a true breakout star as he had just 30 carries in his sophomore season. Hamline senior Brandon Decker, an alum of Boulder Creek, was a finalist for the Kent Bracewell Award. It is given to the male athlete (all sports) with the highest GPA, who made contributions to their sport. Decker started all 10 games for the Pipers last season. Hamline (1-9 last year) is located in St. Paul and competes in the MIAC with Concordia and Carleton.

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: 6/1/20

To say Oregon has recruited Arizona well in the Class of '21 would be an understatement. The Ducks have 11 commitments and four of them are some of the top players in State 48.

The latest to announce his future in Eugene is Brandon Buckner, who did so on Friday afternoon with a video on social media.

Buckner missed the first four games of last season with an ankle injury, but more than recovered from the delayed start with 53 tackles and 16 sacks.

The 6-1, 235-pound Chandler defensive end is the son of Clemson standout (and now Arizona Cardinals defensive line coach) Brentson Buckner.

Oregon was the first of 14 schools to offer Buckner, doing so back in January. The Ducks are recruiting him as an outside linebacker. Buckner visited the school in the spring of his sophomore year.

Oregon football games will soon become "must watch" television for many fans in Arizona. Prior to Buckner, UO received commitments from Mesquite quarterback Ty Thompson and offensive linemen Bram Walden (Saguaro) and Jonah Miller (Sahuaro).

Arizona Varsity lead football analyst Cody Cameron interviewed Buckner, his head coach Rick Garretson, and took a look at his film in this commitment analysis.

Oregon started the year becoming Rose Bowl champions after edging Wisconsin, 28-27 in Pasadena. The Ducks finished 12-2 and won the Pac-12 just three years after a four-win campaign. Once the season begins, Oregon will face North Dakota State, Ohio State, and Hawaii in non-conference play with all three games at Autzen Stadium. On Halloween, Oregon will travel to Tucson to face Arizona and two weeks later, the Ducks host Arizona State.

A combination of education, location, and the good old-fashioned power run game were all factors in the decision of Caiden Miles to commit to UNLV.

The 6-4, 290-pound offensive tackle at Centennial made his college choice on Friday afternoon. He is the Rebels' third commitment, and first lineman.

"First, they have a strong kinesiology program and I would like to be a physical therapist after football," Miles said in a text message. "The coaches are all about high-energy power football! I like that a lot."

Miles is also impressed with the facilities. UNLV will share the brand new Allegiant Stadium with the Raiders. He also likes the heat (which Vegas, of course, also has). The relatively close location from Peoria is an additional benefit.

It was another strong offensive line at the West Valley powerhouse which has become known for that through the years. Centennial finished the regular season at 9-1 and made the inaugural Open Division tournament. The Coyotes averaged 205 rushing yards and 39.8 points per game.

UNLV will play six of its seven home games at Allegiant Stadium this season, starting with the Aug. 29 opener against Cal. A couple weeks later (Sept. 12), Arizona State will play its first road game in Las Vegas. This will be the first year for new head coach Marcus Arroyo, who was previously the offensive coordinator at Oregon. The Rebels were 4-8 last season, but won their final two games against San Jose State and Nevada.

Saguaro now his three college commitments for the 2021 class as defensive tackle Darrion Dalton announced on Monday that he will be heading to San Diego State.

Dalton joins Ironwood quarterback Will Haskell as recent commitments from Arizona to the Aztecs.

"I feel like it is the best fit for me athletically and academically," Dalton said in a text message. "It's a very good school and a great football program and I felt it was a great opportunity."

The 6-3, 275-pound lineman is a competitor and had 60 tackles with 5.5 sacks for the Sabercats, who made the Open Division championship last season.

San Diego State was the fifth of 10 schools to offer Dalton, doing so in early April. Dalton is excited to work with the college staff.

"I love the coaches and what they're doing with SDSU football and can't wait to be a part of it," Dalton said.

His older brother, Donovan, currently plays in the Mountain West Conference. He is preparing for his junior year at Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors finish their regular season on Nov. 28 at SDSU.

Last month, the San Diego City Council voted to give way to the purchase of a new stadium in Mission Valley. The stadium design was approved along with revenue bonds for the funding of construction. In 2019, San Diego State ranked No. 2 in the nation in rushing defense during a 10-3 season that ended with a 48-11 victory over Central Michigan in the New Mexico Bowl. It was the Aztecs' 10th straight bowl appearance.
