UPDATED: 8/3/20

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.

Trey Brown received an offer from Duke University last Thursday. The defensive end and tight end at Arcadia was a playmaker on both sides of the ball. Brown (6-3, 205) caught 24 passes for 439 yards and five touchdowns. He also made 69 tackles and tallied 12 sacks in 10 games (plus three forced fumbles). Most schools are offering him on defense. This offer is the 14th overall for Brown, and second from a Power Five school. With the current pandemic, he's been limited to virtual visits and has taken those to Washington State, Nevada, Colorado State, and Arizona. Duke had six players named to Phil Steele's Preseason ACC Team, including Damond Philyaw-Johnson (First Team KR). The Blue Devils finished 5-7 last season and 3-5 in the ACC. Despite not making a bowl, Duke completed Senior Day by outscoring Miami, 14-0 in the fourth quarter of a rain-soaked game to top the 'Canes, 27-17.

Chandler might have the best backfield duo in the state with Eli Sanders and Nicolas Nesbitt. Nesbitt collected his third Ivy League offer on Wednesday as Penn has shown its interest. The 5-9, 190-pound running back had 58 carries for 607 yards and eight touchdowns last season clipping off more than 10 yards each time he toted the rock. Nesbitt also competed in track, doing the long jump last spring. In the classroom, he carries a 3.8 GPA. The Ivy League announced a few weeks ago that there would be no intercollegiate competition (including football) in the fall semester. Penn (5-5 last season) has finished with at least five victories in each of head coach Ray Priore's five seasons. Senior Karekin Brooks had the first 1,000-yard rushing season for the Quakers since 2006. He ended his career ranked No. 3 in school history with 2,847 yards.

When the Wolves aren't running the football, they're throwing it and they've got a solid D-I recruit there as well. Mikey Keene picked up an offer from Utah State on Saturday. The 5-11, 180-pound signal caller threw for 2,835 yards and had 23 touchdowns. In addition to leading Chandler to a 13-0 record and Open State title, he completed 73 percent of his passes. In the classroom, he gets it done with a 4.53 GPA. Utah State is picked to finish fourth in the Mountain West Conference preseason poll. The Aggies return 13 starters from last year's team that went 7-6 and played in the Frisco Bowl.

In his second year as a starter at Notre Dame Prep, James Jaquint had 66 tackles. The safety earned a Division I offer on Wednesday from Valparaiso. The 6-1, 200-pounder also plays linebacker and has been an Honorable Mention on the All-Region teams for the last two seasons. Jaquint also made the All-Academic Team from Sports360AZ with his 3.63 GPA. He is being recruited for Valparaiso by one of five new additions to the Crusaders' coaching staff, RJ Ghilarducci. Ghilarducci is the new nickelbacks coach at Valpo and spent the past three years at the University of San Diego. Valparaiso and San Diego are both in the Pioneer Football League (FCS). The Crusaders finished at 1-10 last season.

Gaining a new offer on Wednesday was Pinnacle center Jake LeBlanc, who got it from Sewanee College. The 6-foot, 275-pound lineman helped the Pioneers average 40.6 points and 409 yards per game in going 8-3 and making the inaugural Open Division tournament. In the offseason, he gets some training in at Training Better Athletes (TBA). Sewanee, located in Tennessee, calls itself The University of the South. The Sewanee program dates back to 1891, but 2020 will be a rare year without football. The Southern Athletic Associaton (Div. III) has suspended competition for the fall semester. They intend to resume in early 2021. The Tigers were winless last year at 0-10.

One of the best two-way players in the state is George Ramirez at Red Mountain. The 5-10, 185-pound safety and receiver got his second offer from the Big Sky Conference with one from Northern Colorado on Friday. Ramirez was named to the All-6A Conference First Team as the Defensive Utility/Flex Player last season after making 70 tackles, blocking three punts, and intercepting two passes for the Mountain Lions. On offense, the versatile performer caught six touchdown passes, rushed for one, and even threw a TD pass. Northern Colorado's new head coach played in the Pac-12 and was later a three-time Super Bowl champ in the NFL. Ed McCaffery took the Bears' job last December. McCaffery, who played at Stanford and then in the pros with the Giants, 49ers, and Broncos, was the head coach at Valor Christian HS in Highlands Ranch the past two years. He will try to turn around a UNC team that went 2-10 last season.

Keeping it in the Big Sky, Idaho offered a pair of tight ends on Friday. Kevin Sawitzke and Liam Hoffmeyer obtained them from the Vandals. Sawitzke (6-5, 225) plays at Mountain Pointe and this is his first offer. He finished last season with a pair of touchdowns in the Pride's finale against Corona del Sol. Sawitzke has really good hands, but also improved in his blocking during his junior year. Hoffmeyer (6-4, 225) plays at Cibola and now has three FCS offers. He caught 20 passes for 426 yards and four touchdowns for the Raiders last season. In addition to a 4.03 GPA, Hoffmeyer was the Division I state wrestling champion last year at 195 pounds. Fall camp for Idaho is scheduled to begin on Aug. 7. The Vandals are excited about their defense as most of its starters from last year return. Idaho (5-7 last season) had two of its three non-conference games canceled on the 2020 slate. One of them would have been a short 10-mile drive to Pullman to face Washington State. Still on (for now) is a trip to Philadelphia (a 2,500-mile flight) to play Temple on Sept. 12.

Florence senior quarterback Christopher Walter has had to adjust during the coronavirus pandemic just like everyone else. Over the summer, he's thrown passes to receivers running routes in a local park. Walter has also been getting offers and his third one came on Monday from Millikin University. The 6-3, 200-pounder was in an offense that mostly ran the ball last season (FHS was 65/35 rushing), but still threw for 1,000 yards and had seven TD passes. In addition to being a multi-sport athlete (baseball & soccer), he finds time for his studies with a 3.9 GPA. Millikin is ranked as a Top 10 school in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report. The school is located in Illinois and the Big Blue went 5-5 last season and play in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (Div. III). Unfortunately, the CCIW announced last week that it is suspending all fall competition. The plans are to allow players to practice with their teams in the fall with the hopes of a spring season. The Big Blue have a new offensive coordinator as Luke Bengston comes over to the team from Chadron State, where he was the tight ends coach.

Here's the rest of the offers since last Tuesday:

Ironwood Ridge quarterback Peyton Pelletier received an offer from Clarke (Iowa).
South Mountain wide receiver Travis Gammage received an offer from Benedictine (Kans.).
Buena running back Tory Walters received an offer from Benedictine (Kans.).
Desert Edge offensive guard Jayden Ahboah received an offer from Benedictine (Kans.).
Cactus offensive tackle Alex Ticala received his first offer from Benedictine (Kans.).
Yuma Catholic center Brannon Weatherby received an offer from Benedictine (Kans.).
Casteel center Mason Phillips received an offer from St. Olaf (Minn.).
Ironwood tight end Mekhi Mannino-Faison received an offer from Augustana (S. Dak.).
Mountain Pointe linebacker Jason Ramirez-Corpuz received an offer from St. Thomas (Minn.).
Ironwood Ridge linebacker Evan Harvey received his first offer from Clarke.
Verrado defensive end Jacob Carpenter received an offer from Arizona Christian.
Cienega defensive tackle Hunter Schlagel received an offer from Augustana (S. Dak.).

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.

John Ferlmann recently made the move from Central California to the Valley. He plans to stay in the area for much more than just his senior season.

The 6-3, 225-pound long snapper, who is now at Boulder Creek, committed to Arizona State on Monday. He's taken to his new state and is excited about the local program in Tempe.

"A young team on the rise under Herm Edwards and a pro coaching staff," Ferlmann said in a text message. "I want to stay closer to home so I can be more active within the community during my playing days. Great school, great team, great fan base, and great coaching."

Rubio Long Snapping ranks Ferlmann No. 7 in the nation for the Class of '21. He has a smooth snapping motion along with a great frame and size.

In addition to long snapping, Ferlmann played defensive tackle at Gregori HS in Modesto. Last season, he totaled 49 tackles and had two sacks.

Arizona State was the first Division I school to offer him, doing so in June. He selected the Sun Devils over Air Force and Arizona.

ASU has a new football schedule for 2020 as the Pac-12 has opted to go with a 10-game conference-only season. The Sun Devils will open in Tucson with the Territorial Cup on the line against Arizona on Sept. 26. It will be the earliest meeting between the rivals. There is an open date on Oct. 17, which is shared by the Sun Devils' first three opponents in case a game needs to be made up. The entire conference will be off on Dec. 12 as another date for postponements. The Pac-12 Championship Game is scheduled for either Dec. 18 or 19 on the home campus site of the team with the better record. Last year, ASU went 8-5 and defeated Florida State in the Sun Bowl.

The Northern Arizona recruiting class grew by one on Friday when Sunnyslope defensive tackle Richard Kwete committed to the Lumberjacks.

The 6-3, 260-pound Kwete selected NAU over Idaho. He received his offer from the Lumberjacks in April.

"They have an amazing program and a wonderful coaching staff," Kwete said in a text message. "I felt like I belonged there and it will be great playing alongside one of my brothers."

Kwete has two older brothers in college football. Eloi is a sophomore defensive lineman at Northern Arizona and Cosmas is a sophomore defensive end at Washington State.

He played in just three games as a junior, but had six tackles against both Kellis and Centennial. NAU coaches saw him at a camp in June of 2019. Away from football, Kwete carries a 3.8 GPA and also plays rugby.

He became the fifth commit in Northern Arizona's 2021 recruiting class and third on the defensive side of the ball. Kwete joins Zach Blackwood as in-state pledges to the 'Jacks.

Preseason polls came out last week and the Big Sky coaches are picking NAU to finish seventh in the conference (out of 13 teams). Last year, the Lumberjacks were 4-2 at home in the Walkup Skydome, but were 4-8 overall. The current schedule has them playing 10 games as the opener in Tempe against ASU has been canceled. The new opener is Sept. 12 at home against South Dakota.

Jayden Harrington has been piling up college offers, gaining a total of 18 of them. The University of Sioux Falls has been actively pursuing the 5-11, 175-pound cornerback at Verrado for the past three months.

After analyzing everything he is looking for in a college, Harrington announced his commitment to USF on Saturday.

"It has a great business program, great internships, a great city, great facilities, and an airport with direct flights," Harrington said in a text message. "It's also a powerhouse football team with current and future NFL players and a great staff that sees my value and my potential."

Harrington has taken a trip to visit the South Dakota school and felt at home with the team and the coaching staff.

"Coach (Jon) Anderson is a great head coach who cares about you as a person," Harrington said. "He also wants you to succeed on and off the field."

In his first year as a starter for the Vipers, Harrington had 38 tackles and intercepted three passes, bringing one of those back for six. Last month, he was out in the heat working on his craft with Cleveland Browns defensive backs coach DeWayne Walker. He's self motivated and put together his own workout program during the quarantine.

Harrington also learned a little about Sioux Falls in the offseason as well. He trains weekly on his speed and agility with Superior Edge Training (SET). That's run by Jeff Jenkins, whose son, Ja'Tai was a running back at VHS and is now at Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls is planning for a delayed football season. The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (Div. II) is allowing practices on Sept. 2 with the first game slated for Sept. 26. That will take place at Northern State (S. Dak.) and will kick off an eight-game schedule. Expectations are high as USF is ranked No. 23 in the College Football American Yearbook Division II preseason. Last season, the Cougars finished 8-4 and made the playoffs. Sioux Falls also extended its streak of winning seasons to 26, which ranks fourth among all NCAA institutions.

For years, the Centennial Coyotes have been a team that likes to pound the ball on the ground behind a big offensive line. The next one in line for a big senior year at the running back position is Daxon Lindholm, who made his commitment to Army on Friday.

The 6-foot, 180-pound back didn't just get it done with the run. He racked up 726 all-purpose yards. Of that total, 454 was rushing (at a clip of 8.6 yards per carry). Lindholm also caught a dozen passes, forced a fumble on defense, and averaged 23 yards on his four kickoff returns.

West Point became Lindholm's first (and only) offer back in February. He has played the game of football for most of his life, crediting all of his coaches going back to when he was just four years old. In his Twitter announcement, Lindholm also mentioned that he's blessed to serve his country after his college years, which cadets do upon graduation from the U.S. Military Academy.

Earlier this year, he worked on his game by playing 7-on-7 ball with 2020 Elite. That team took a trip up to Mesquite, Nev. back in February for a big national tournament. 2020 Elite also claimed the Pylon Phoenix Championship last winter.

Last month, Army welcomed a new class of 77 recruits for the Class of '24. The Black Knights finished 5-8 last season and compete as a Division I Independent. This year's schedule is up in the air as Army has lost games against Patriot League (Bucknell) and Ivy League (Princeton) competition. The annual game against Navy is currently slated for Dec. 12 in Philadelphia. That rivalry contest began in 1890 and the teams have faced one another each year since 1930 (90 straight).
