Benedictine offers Desert Ridge defensive back Bright

UPDATED: 6/11/20

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 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.

Greenway had another successful season in 2019, finishing with nine regular season wins for the second straight year. The Demon defense held opponents to 10.8 points per game. One of the leaders of that group in 2020 will be Aaron Gerle. The 6-2, 255-pound defensive tackle received an offer from Northern State on Monday. Gerle had a team-high 82 tackles and 13 sacks as a junior. A beast in the weight room, he posted a video last month of a 380-pound bench press. Off the field, Allen carries a 3.5 GPA. The offer from NSU is his 10th overall. Mike Schmidt begins his first season as head coach at Northern State. It will kick off on Sept. 3 on the road at Minnesota State. The Wolves open their home slate in Aberdeen, South Dakota on Sept. 12 against Southwest Minnesota State. Northern State is a member of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (Div. II).

Monday was a busy day of offers for Arizona players from Hamline University. The Pipers extended them to nine players. They were Canyon del Oro safety Ethan Seppala, Salpointe defensive end Brees McCraren, Chaparral wide receiver Capri Hamilton, Paradise Valley long snapper Ben Lisk, Desert Ridge running back Jadon Prince, Chandler linebacker Daniel Fulton, Salpointe running back David Cordero, Deer Valley wide receiver Matthew Weed, and Valley Vista offensive guard Garrett Sutliffe. 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 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (Div. III).

Fulton also earned an offer from Carnegie Mellon on Monday. The 5-11, 210-pounder won a state title with the Wolves last season. Fulton is a three-sport athlete with a 4.0 GPA. Carnegie Mellon finished 8-3 last season and played in the Scotty Whitlock Bowl. Based in Pittsburgh, the Tartans play in the Eastern Collegiate Athletics Conference (Div. III). Carnegie Mellon will start the season at home on its turf at at Gesling Stadium on Sept. 5 against MIT.

Desert Ridge aired it out in 2019 and averaged 31.5 points and 252 passing yards per game. Providing some of the blocking up front was Dante Smith. The 6-3, 280-pound offensive guard collected an offer from Sacramento State on Tuesday. Smith also played on the defensive side and made 57 tackles along with recording four sacks. He'll be starting for the Jaguars for the third straight season this fall. Sacramento State is coming off a historic season that saw the team reach the FCS Playoffs for the first time. The Hornets were 9-4 overall and 7-1 in Big Sky Conference play. Big things are expected once again in 2020 as Sac State is ranked No. 12 in the preseason by Athlon Sports in the FCS.

Going the other way, Flagstaff preferred to pound the rock, running the ball on two-thirds of its offensive plays. The star on that side of the ball was Luis Jaramillo. The junior earned an offer from Simpson College on Wednesday. Jaramillo (6-0, 210) posted his second straight 1,000-yard season and scored 13 touchdowns last season. A two-way player for the Eagles, Jaramillo had 36 tackles and four sacks as a linebacker. Simpson will face three teams that made the Division III playoffs in 2019 this year. The Storm start with a road trip to Texas to face Mary Hardin-Baylor on Sept. 5. Simpson, located in Iowa, started 4-1 last season before facing four of the top teams in American Rivers Conference play to end up even at 5-5.

Benedictine College in Kansas had a busy week offering prospects throughout the Valley. Gaining offers from the Ravens were Williams Field defensive tackle Aaron Wolfcale-Holsten, Pinnacle offensive tackle Gavin Guarino, Millennium offensive guard Mikaele Fuamatu, Arizona College Prep safety Joel Diaz, Arizona College Prep linebacker Kellen Gibson, Agua Fria defensive tackle AJ Auau, Centennial running back Tage Rigby, Horizon wide receiver Avery Lambert, Desert Ridge safety Diamonte Bright, Higley wide receiver Branson Heywood, Cactus defensive tackle Ethan Price, Queen Creek cornerback Cavan Riggs, and Sunrise Mountain cornerback Elijah Anderson. Benedictine finished last season ranked No. 18 in the NAIA Postseason Coaches' Poll after an 8-3 season. The Ravens play in the Heart of America Athletic Conference.

Here's the rest of the offers since Monday:

Cactus Shadows quarterback Jaden White received his first offer from Hamline.
Salpointe cornerback Parker Pelletier received an offer from Monmouth (Ill.).
Shadow Ridge offensive guard Chris Stoica received an offer from Puget Sound (Wash.).
Brophy safety Anthony Gonzales received his first offer from Southwest Minnesota State.
Mountain Pointe tight end Anthony Ortiz received an offer from South Dakota School of Mines.
Paradise Valley long snapper Ben Lisk received an offer from George Fox (Ore.).
Arizona College Prep linebacker Kellen Gibson received an offer from Macalester (Minn.).
Centennial running back Tage Rigby received an offer from Hamline.

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.

Hamilton cornerback Lewis commits to Nevada

UPDATED: 6/10/20

Zachary Lewis will be playing his college ball in Nevada along with a couple of his old friends from C-Town.

The Hamilton cornerback announced his commitment on social media Wednesday afternoon.

Lewis received his offer from the Wolf Pack from cornerbacks coach Freddie Banks in late February.

"The coaching staff really showed love," Lewis said in a text message. "They really cared and it felt like family."

Lewis knows two players that will be on Nevada this fall. Safety Avery Carrington (Chandler) will be a redshirt freshman and cornerback Zeke Robbins (Hamilton/Chandler/Eastern Arizona College/Butler CC) signed with the Wolf Pack last February. Lewis said those two are like brothers to him.

The athletic 5-11, 185-pounder played on both sides of the ball for the second straight season in 2019. As a junior, he played a more prominent role on an improved Huskies' defense. Lewis had 49 tackles and three interceptions as Hamilton improved from a defensive team that gave up 35 points per game in 2018 to one that surrendered just 17.6 points last season and made the Open Division semifinals with a 9-3 record.

On offense, Lewis had 14 carries and caught 23 passes compiling a total offense number of 546 yards. He is the second Arizona senior to commit to Nevada, joining Poston Butte running back Zion Burns.

Nevada is coming off back-to-back bowl appearances with a trip to the Idaho Potato Bowl last year. The Wolf Pack (7-6 last season), begin their six-game home slate at Mackay Stadium in Reno with an Aug. 29 game against UC Davis. Nevada is a member of the Mountain West Conference.
