Whitworth offers ACP defensive back Diaz

Advertisement

UPDATED: 6/30/20

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 350 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 August 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.

Culver-Stockton College in Missouri blanketed the state for a second straight day with offers in its search for prospects. A total of 19 players were offered on Sunday and Monday (making the total 38 since Friday). They were Mountain Pointe linebacker Jason Ramirez-Corpuz, Centennial linebacker Taryn Robles, Horizon center Jackson Sebastiani, Campo Verde offensive tackle Hayden Preston, Skyline linebacker Alex Sanchez, Desert Mountain wide receiver Jack Schrieber, Salpointe cornerback Parker Pelletier, Paradise Valley defensive tackle Andrew Vescova, Ironwood running back Junior Shima, Mesa linebacker Zeth Nastal, Marcos de Niza center Enrique Ruiz, Nogales cornerback Heriberto Barnett, Cienega cornerback Kenny Slade, Safford running back CJ Scrivner, Combs linebacker Dominik Richie, Sunnyside linebacker Andrew Gonzalez, Buena running back Tory Walters, Centennial linebacker Matthew Phillips, and Shadow Ridge offensive guard Chris Stoica. Culver-Stockton signed a big class last February with 47 new players. Included among them was Marcus Brown, a defensive back from Maricopa. The Wildcats (6-5) are coming off their first winning season since 2001. CSC finished 4-1 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference North Division (NAIA).

In his first year as a starter, Devin Sanchez had a productive year helping Centennial reach the first Open Division tournament. The safety received his first offer from Bethel College on Monday. Sanchez (5-11, 165) had 48 tackles, a pair of interceptions, and 1.5 sacks for the Coyotes. For now, the Peoria Unified School District has suspended all sports workouts until July 13. Centennial had started summer practices on June 8. Bethel, located in Kansas, had one of its best seasons in program history in 2019. The Threshers finished 8-3 and had the No. 1 rushing offense in the NAIA. Bethel compiled 4,084 yards on the ground and ended up ranked No. 24 in the country.

It was a turnaround season for Arizona College Prep in 2019 as the Knights went from a 1-9 year to 8-3 and the 3A playoffs. Several of their players are returning and getting college attention. One of those is safety Joel Diaz, who collected an offer from Whitworth on Tuesday. The 6-1, 180-pound defensive back had 98 tackles and intercepted five passes in his junior year. In the classroom, Diaz has a stellar 4.8 GPA. Whitworth added a large 54-person signing class this spring. One of those hails from Arizona as lineman Nate Vasiloff from Trivium Prep signed with the Pirates. Whitworth finished 6-3 last season and over the past five years has won 80 percent of its games.

Finally, a pair of secondary players received offers from a Concordia. Verrado cornerback Jayden Harrington received an offer from Concordia University in St. Paul while Higley safety Brit Fleming earned his first offer from Concordia College in Minnesota.

This list shows four-year college offers received by seniors 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.

Chandler WR Richmond commits to Boise State

UPDATED: 6/30/20

The Chandler Wolves have done more winning than any other high school in Arizona over the past six years. Wide receiver Jalen Richmond will be heading to a college that also piles up the victories.

Richmond announced his commitment to Boise State Tuesday on Twitter. He selected the Broncos over Nevada, Rice, and San Jose State.

"Their winning tradition and ability to develop players is what attracted me the most," Richmond said in a text message.

The 6-1, 180-pound receiver had 41 catches for 725 yards and nine touchdowns for the Wolves, who finished 13-0 and won the Open Division title.

Richmond has been sought after by BSU for a while, but just received his offer from the Broncos last Friday. He followed that up Sunday with a virtual tour, which he was very impressed with. The two-hour tour included video of the facilities and an academic plan.

He is the first commitment for the Broncos since April, and just the second in the class. So far, Arizona has had nine players commit to Mountain West Conference schools.

Boise State has successfully recruited the state of Arizona in recent years. Current members of the Bronco roster include quarterback Chase Cord (Sunrise Mountain), offensive lineman Jacob Golden (Peoria), and wide receiver Khyheem Waleed (Casteel).

Arizona Varsity's Cody Cameron talked with Richmond and Chandler head coach Rick Garretson. Cameron also analyzed his film along with Alec Simpson.

Boise State became the first school to win three straight Mountain West Conference championships last season. The Broncos topped Hawaii in the title game in Boise. BSU heads into this year with eight players tabbed by Athlon Sports for the Preseason All-Mountain West Team. Boise State finished 12-2 last year and played in the Las Vegas Bowl.
