UPDATED: 8/26/20

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 September 30. 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.

The top three tacklers for Marana last season were all seniors. The leading returner for the Tigers on defense is Kai Spencer, who collected an offer from Millikin on Friday. The 6-3, 170-pound linebacker had eight-tackle games against Ironwood Ridge and Nogales last year. Spencer also sees time on the offense at wide receiver. In that Nogales game, he caught a touchdown pass. His performance in that win for the Tigers' earned him Chilly's nod for the Beast of the Week. Spencer is a multi-sport athlete with a 3.55 GPA. Millikin's football players will not report to campus in Decatur, Ill. early for the start of practice this fall. It's league, the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (Div. III), suspended all fall sports competition. They will explore CCIW rescheduling football in the spring. Last year, the Big Blue finished 5-5.

Pacific University, a private school just west of Portland, Oregon, extended offers to a pair of offensive linemen on Friday. Jake LeBlanc and Sean Sisco received them from the Boxers. LeBlanc (6-0, 275) was part of an O-Line that helped Pinnacle pave its way to 40.6 points and 409 yards per game on their way to an Open playoff berth. LeBlanc plays center, carries a 3.6 GPA, and trains at TBA with many other top linemen in the state. Sisco (6-1, 280) is an offensive guard at Mountain Ridge. He will be starting his third year on the line for the Mountain Lions. Away from football, Sisco throws the shot put and discus during track and field season and carries a 4.32 GPA. Pacific is a part of the Northwest Conference, which is postponing football until the spring. The team is still allowed to meet and hold practices. Following a 4-6 season, Boxers head coach Keith Buckley retired. Assistant Ian Falconer was named as his replacement back in October. He has been with the Pacific program since 2010.

Another Northwest Conference school was recruiting the Valley on Friday. Puget Sound made offers to Sisco, Tyler Speece, Andrew Vescova, and Albin Arulanandu. Speece is a 6-foot, 175-pound safety at Skyline. He had 30 tackles in eight games for the Coyotes. An excellent student, Speece has a 4.0 GPA. Vescova is a 5-11, 275-pound defensive tackle at Paradise Valley. He's strong and can squat 340 pounds. Last month, Vescova was getting his footwork drills in on the sand near a beach. Arulanandu is a 5-11, 155-pound cornerback at Mountain Ridge. He totaled 34 tackles and intercepted three passes for the Mountain Lions. A super smart student-athlete, Arulanandu has a 4.6 GPA. In last season's game at Pacific, Puget Sound receiver AJ Johnson set the school record for receiving yards in a game. During a wild shootout loss (60-55), Johnson hauled in 16 catches for 280 yards. He was one of three Loggers with triple-digit yardage numbers as the team was 32-for-69 for 590 yards with three touchdowns through the air.

Speece also earned an offer from Rhodes College on Friday. The school in Memphis is part of the Southern Athletic Association (Div. III), which suspended all athletic competitions for the fall season. Division III has canceled all of its postseason tournaments for the fall sports, including ones that end up playing in the spring. Last year, the Lynx finished 1-9 on a team that had just eight seniors.

It was a breakout season for Christian Johnson last year as the Greenway Demons won the 4A Skyline Region. Johnson gained an offer from Concordia College in Minnesota on Saturday. The 6-foot, 190-pound back rushed for 1,693 yards and scored 23 touchdowns as GHS went 9-2. A serious lifter, Johnson can bench 320 pounds and is also a serious student (4.33 GPA). Earlier this month, he squatted three reps of 405 pounds. Concordia, located in the northwestern part of the state near Fargo, North Dakota, is a part of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (Div. III), which postponed football until the spring season. The conference is working to develop schedules for that time. Training and practices can take place this fall with schools following NCAA health directives. Last year, the Cobbers won their final three games to finish at 5-5. Concordia ended the year with a season-high 54 points in a win over Carleton (Minn.). In that 54-28 victory, the Cobbers racked up 548 yards of offense. Spencer tacked on an offer from the Cobbers as well.

Another school from the MIAC, Hamline University, offered Speece on Monday. Hamline, located in St. Paul, finished last season at 1-9 and graduated just eight seniors from their roster last May. Marana alum Connor Leavens played in nine games for the Pipers. He threw eight touchdown passes in his junior year and had a high-game of 287 yards in a win over Macalester (Minn.).

Monmouth College in Illinois offered a pair of players in the state on Tuesday, and they reached to a couple of the smaller towns in the state to do it. Wyatt Manning and Tory Walters got offers from the Fighting Scots. Manning is a 6-3, 200-pound defensive end at Florence. He had 49 tackles and a pair of sacks for the Gophers last season. Manning also added an offer from Puget Sound this week. Walters is a 5-10, 180-pound running back at Buena HS in Sierra Vista. He led the Colts in rushing last season with 760 yards and five touchdowns. Walters also scored on defense with a pick-six in a victory over Marana. Monmouth is the defending champions of the Midwest Conference (Div. III). Down 7-3, the Scots put together "The Drive" and went 89 yards in the final minute to defeat St. Norbert (Wisc.), 10-7 with the winning TD coming with just two seconds left. That propelled Monmouth into the playoffs, where it finished 7-3. They'll still be the defending champs for a while because the Midwest Conference pulled the plug on fall competition. Modified practices and workouts will still take place.

Walters also picked up an offer from Carthage College this week. Carthage, a member of the CCIW, is located in Kenosha, Wisc. The Red Men finished 4-6 last season.

Walters isn't the only Buena running back returning this year. Isaac Benoit obtained an offer from Oberlin College on Wednesday. The 5-9, 170-pound athlete averaged almost six yards per carry (39 attempts) and scored three touchdowns. Benoit also played linebacker for the Colts and had 27 tackles and a sack. In the classroom, he's a 3.5 student that is interested in studying Engineering or Communication. Last month, Benoit took a visit to Sioux Falls. Oberlin, located in Ohio, has suspended fall sports. While there won't be a fall football season, the school is looking to create an environment where its athletes can promote teamwork, physical fitness, campus competitions, and mental discipline. The Yeoman compete in the North Coast Athletic Conference (Div. III) and went 1-9. The team had just 10 seniors.

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

Centennial linebacker Taryn Robles received an offer from Carleton (Minn.).
Apollo tight end Johvany Gomez received his first offer from Arizona Christian.
Catalina Foothills tight end Garrick Krautz received an offer from Concordia College (Minn.).
Ironwood running back Junior Shima received offers from North Park (Ill.) and Hamline.
Salpointe tight end Fernando Torres received his first offer from St. Olaf (Minn.).
Brophy wide receiver Jackson Camarata received offers from La Verne (Calif.) and Allegheny (Pa.).
Brophy running back Myles Newble received offers from La Verne and Allegheny.
Cienega safety CJ Flores received an offer from Sewanee (Tenn.).
Desert Vista safety Xander Franquero received an offer from Allegheny.
Walden Grove cornerback Joseph Armstrong received an offer from Concordia University (Ill.).
Chandler center Mason Winkelmann received an offer from Allegheny.

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.

Queen Creek defensive back Jackson commits to Kansas State

UPDATED: 8/25/20

In what promises to be a special senior class at Queen Creek High School this year, Krew Jackson became the fourth Bulldog to commit to a Power Five school this offseason.

Jackson announced his commitment to Kansas State on his personal Twitter account on Tuesday night. He feels appreciated by the program and can also see where he can make a contribution.

"I felt like the coaching staff really had a vision for me in the scheme," Jackson said in a text message. "They see the value in my skill set, and want to see me develop within their program physically, academically, and as an overall human being."

A 6-5, 200-pound athlete, Jackson had 19 total offers, including several from Power 5 schools like Arizona State, Iowa State, Michigan State, and Virginia. He is the Wildcats' 17th commitment for the Class of '21 and the third in the secondary.

Last season, Jackson had 72 tackles and a pair of interceptions as Queen Creek went 9-4 and played in the 6A semifinals. With his big frame, he could be used as an outside linebacker, or with his coverage skills in the secondary. Jackson is the sixth Arizona player in the past decade to commit to K-State. The most recent was Matthew Pola-Mao (Mountain Pointe), who is a redshirt freshman this year.

Jackson received his offer from Kansas State in late March. He said it's going to be hard to leave his family here in Arizona, but is excited about playing in a college town (Manhattan), where they love their football.

"I want to compete for a spot as soon as I can and I feel like there's opportunity at K-State," Jackson said. "The Big 12 is a great conference and I'll get to play against some of the best competition in the country."

Jackson joins his teammates, Isaia Glass (Arizona State), Hunter Barth (California), and Trey Reynolds (Utah), as players that have now made their college decisions and ready to focus on the upcoming season.

If you've been reading the Recruiting Page over the past month, you've read many times that so and so's conference has postponed its fall season. Well, Kansas State is playing this fall! The Wildcats are 12 practices into fall camp. The players are being COVID tested every Wednesday. The Big 12 is playing a 10-game season with one non-conference game. K-State will open up at home in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Sept. 12 against Arkansas State. The Wildcats went 8-5 last year and played in the Liberty Bowl.


Notre Dame Prep senior wide receiver Damien Owens verbally committed to the University of North Dakota football program on Monday.

Owens, who was also courted by Abilene Christian, Idaho, South Dakota State, and Southern Utah, took a liking to the campus and the program in Grand Forks during a recent visit. One of his takeaways was how the coaches and staff at UND make their athletes better adults.

"The coaches really built a steady foundation for me at the beginning of the recruitment process and never stopped showing love," Owens said in a text message. "I love the campus and atmosphere up there, but what led me to choose the school was how much I noticed they were going to help me become a better man as I start my adult life."

The 6-1, 170-pound athlete led the Saints in receiving during an 11-2 season with 36 catches for 599 yards and seven touchdowns. Also a valuable asset on special teams, Owens finished his junior year with 1,135 all-purpose yards.

The commitment for Owens fell four months to the day that he received his offer from North Dakota. Leading the way for the Fighting Hawks in his recruitment were wide receivers coach Sam King and head coach Bubba Schweigert.

In his offseason training, Owens has been active with the Tucson Turf 7-on-7 team and also with Sweetfeet Training.

North Dakota played its final season in the Big Sky Conference in 2019. The Fighting Hawks have moved to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. That league announced earlier this month that it won't play a fall season. Instead, there are plans for an eight-game spring league schedule that is expected to culminate with the FCS playoffs. Last year, North Dakota finished 7-5 and reached the postseason. The Fighting Hawks were perfect at home (6-0) in the Alerus Center. It's an indoor arena with high-definition video boards that has a capacity of 12,000. In its six home games, North Dakota averaged 8,340 fans last year. UND began playing football way back in 1894 and this is just the fourth cancellation of a fall season. The last time was in 1943 & 1944 due to World War II.

Following a Zoom call earlier in the day with some of the members of the coaching staff, Matthew Weed decided to make his commitment to the University of Puget Sound on Friday night.

The 5-8, 150-pound wide receiver at Deer Valley received an offer from the Loggers in July and said the Division III school in Tacoma was recruiting him hard.

"The coaching staff always made me feel welcomed there and I could tell I actually meant something to them," Weed said in a text message. "The campus is gorgeous and is 30 minutes away from the ocean. Also, I know I will be getting a top-tier education while I play the game I love at the next level!"

On a team that only threw the ball 35 percent of the time, Weed caught 13 passes in five games. He adds value to the offense with his blocking ability and shows the speed to get open.

Weed said the Loggers have a spot for him on both sides of the ball and are recruiting him pretty heavily as a defensive back.

He can bench 200 pounds and had offers from three other Division III schools in the Midwest. Weed carries a GPA of 3.88 into his senior year.

Puget Sound's conference, the Northwest Conference, decided to suspend all sports competition this week until January. This came a month after the football season was postponed. The NWC is working to develop a spring schedule. Last season, the Loggers finished 6-4. All six of those wins came at Baker Stadium as Puget Sound went undefeated at home for the first time since 1986.
