Navy extends offer to Mountain Ridge offensive guard Sanchez

Advertisement

UPDATED: 10/20/21

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 360 players from the Class of 2021 signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Times for games are given in Arizona time.

Receiving his first Division I FBS offer on Tuesday was Alexis Sanchez. The offensive guard from Mountain Ridge got it from the Naval Academy. Sanchez is 6-3, 300 pounds, and has a 78-inch wingspan. Mountain Ridge (5-2) is on the verge of its first winning season since 2010. A big part of that is the offense, which is averaging 47 points and 387 yards per game. During the summer, Sanchez visited Northern Arizona, San Diego, Montana State, Arizona, and Drake. This Saturday is a big one for Navy as the Midshipmen will host its first Top 5 team since 1984. Cincinnati (No. 2) visits Annapolis at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in a noon kickoff. ESPN2 will have the national broadcast. Navy has faced one of the most difficult schedules in the country. Including Cincinnati, the Mids' opponents have a combined record of 34-11. Navy comes in with a record of 1-5 while the Bearcats are a perfect 6-0.

Here's the rest of the offers over the past week:

ALA-Gilbert North wide receiver Johnny Bellino received offers from Morehead State (Ky.), Jamestown (N. Dak.), and Ottawa (Kans.).
Chaparral safety Jacob Franze received an offer from Carnegie Mellon (Pa.).
Mountain Ridge offensive tackle Kaden Hicks received an offer from San Diego.

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 15-17. 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.

Williams Field running back Kaden Cloud commits to Air Force

UPDATED: 10/20/21

Air Force has recruited Williams High School very well over the past few years and the Falcons have pulled another one in during this cycle.

Kaden Cloud, a 5-11, 190-pound running back, announced his commitment last Sunday on social media.

"It was really the winning culture that they have there," Cloud said in a text message. "The coaches always reached out and told me how much they wanted me there and showed me how I would fit in their system."

Cloud, a 4.0 student, is also excited about the great benefits the academy provides for life after football with a guaranteed job coming right out of college.

On the field, Cloud first burst onto the scene during his sophomore year. In that 2019 season, he rushed for 1,277 yards and scored 17 touchdowns as the Black Hawks won the 5A Conference championship. This season, Cloud has 512 yards and has scored six touchdowns for the 4-2 Black Hawks.

He does have a family history in the military as both his uncle and grandfather were in the army. Cloud has been able to talk to them about what it will be like to serve the country.

Air Force will take a 6-1 record into its Mountain West Conference home game against No. 21 San Diego State this Saturday. CBS Sports Network will have the game, which kicks off at 4 p.m. The Falcons are receiving votes in the Top 25 poll. A victory over the 6-0 Aztecs would certainly launch the AFA into the rankings. Air Force comes in with a four-game winning streak after a 24-17 road win at Boise State.
