Brophy kicker Lye gets offer from Northern Arizona

Advertisement

UPDATED: 12/5/21

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.

An in-state Division I school has entered the recruiting radar for Marcus Lye as Northern Arizona became his third FCS offer on Sunday. The kicker and punter at Brophy Prep got to finish his HS career with his longest field goal in the 6A quarterfinals at Red Mountain (53 yards). Lye grades out as a 4.5-star at both kicker and punter from Kohl's Kicking. This season, he booted 12 field goals and averaged 37.6 yards per punt. Lye also made sure teams had to go the length of the field as he put 43 of his 56 kickoffs through the end zone. He carries a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. Northern Arizona must replace punter DJ Arnson, a Basha grad. Arnson set the program records for games played with 49 and punting yards with 11,041. The Lumberjacks finished 5-6 this season.

Mountain Pointe athlete Boyd commits to Nevada

UPDATED: 12/5/21

Following his sophomore year, Amier Boyd transferred from South Mountain to Mountain Pointe as a quarterback. While at MPHS, he's learned new positions including receiver and defensive back.

Boyd took to Twitter on Saturday to make his commitment announcement to Nevada.

"I love the coaches there," Boyd said in a text message. "He always believed in me and what I could do. Also, he never gave up on me and stayed in touch while also staying truthful about everything he said! Lastly, they brought me in as family when I went on a visit up there."

Boyd is being recruited by the Wolf Pack as a cornerback. On defense last season, he had 57 tackles for the Pride with two forced fumbles and a pair of interceptions. One of the picks, against Brophy, went for a touchdown in a 26-23 victory.

Nevada has accepted an inviation to the Quick Lane Bowl, where it will face Western Michigan (7-5). This is the fourth straight bowl for the Wolf Pack (8-4). Quarterback Carson Strong set a new single-season record with 36 touchdowns for Nevada, which produced its highest number of regular-season wins since 2010. The game will take place at Ford Field in Detroit on Monday, Dec. 27 and will kickoff at 9 a.m. (ESPN).


Hamilton finished with an undefeated regular-season record. Wide receiver Christian Anaya was named the 6A Premier Region Player of the Year. The 6-1, 175-pound athlete committed to Montana State last Monday.

He received his offer from MSU after competing in a camp last June. Anaya also visited Bozeman for the Bobcats' win over Idaho State in October.

"They believed in me early and did a great job of letting my family and I know I was their guy," Anaya said in a text message. "I love the winning tradition and the school's commitment to the football program. You can feel the energy about the program from everyone I came in contact with. Game day atmosphere was great (19,297 in attendance) and their new facilities are a game changer."

Anaya set the new single-season receptions record for Hamilton with 87 catches which he turned into 978 yards and 17 touchdowns (19 total). He also returned punts and brought one back to the house against Higley.

Montana State played a game Saturday with 30-mph wind gusts in the Second Round of the FCS playoffs. The Bobcats (10-2) rushed for 387 yards in a 26-7 win over Tennessee-Martin. Next week, MSU will travel to Huntsville, Texas to take on top seed and defending champ Sam Houston State (11-0) in the quarterfinals.


The first Arizona HS player to throw for 7,000 yards in his career and rush for 3,000 announced his commitment on Thursday. Casa Grande dual-threat Angel Flores will be heading up the mountain to Northern Arizona.

It was back in December of 2020 that Flores received his offer from the Lumberjacks. Among his other offers were a trio of Big Sky Conference schools Eastern Washington, Portland State, and Weber State. He said he chose NAU because of the coaches.

"They are not just great coaches, but great people in general," Flores said in a text message. "I can really feel they will shape me into the man I want to be one day and help me reach my full potential. Also, the future is looking bright having a lot of freshmen and sophomores playing with most of them Arizona guys! Being able to represent my state is a big deal!"

The high school career of Flores (6-2, 205) has one more game and it's the 4A championship game this Friday afternoon. A four-year starter for the Cougars, he had 25 touchdown passes against just four interceptions prior to last Friday's game against Mesquite. On the ground, he's already gone over 1,000 yards with a dozen TDs.

One of the Arizona guys Flores will get to play with his Glendale alum Kevin Daniels. The NAU freshman running back was named Big Sky Conference Player of the Week twice this year. The most recent was the final game of the season when he had 280 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 28 carries in a 45-21 win at Cal Poly. It was the sixth-highest single game total in Lumberjack history.


In three seasons at Miami High School in Gila County, Justin Cook rushed for nearly 2,000 yards. A hard worker, Cook committed to Luther College in Iowa on Thursday.

The work that Luther's coaches put in during the recruiting process paid off in getting the services of the 6-foot, 180-pounder that averaged 8.8 yards per carry in 2021.

"As the season ended, there were a lot of coaches that were interested and in touch with me," Cook said in a text message. "A lot of the coaches over at Luther made a greater effort to keep in touch with me and make me feel welcomed. I believe I can grow a lot as a player under their guidance. I'm very excited and honored."

This season, Cook shared carries with four other players and a mobile quarterback. In 49 attempts, he rushed for 432 yards and scored nine touchdowns.

Luther, a Division III school in the American Rivers Conference, is in the process of hiring a new football coach. The Norse (0-10) fell on tough times in 2021 and Caleb Padilla will not return after seven years at the school (four as head coach). Assistant coaches are currently leading the football program.
