UPDATED: 5/20/21

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 350 players from the Class of 2021 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Times for games are given in Arizona time.

The recruitment of Kaden Hicks has taken off over the past week. Culver-Stockton College became his fourth offer in that time. Hicks is a 6-4, 260-pound offensive guard at Mountain Ridge. He recently completed the track and field season, where he threw the shot put and discus. Hicks carries a 3.5 GPA and blocked for a Mountain Lion offense that posted nearly 200 passing yards a game and threw 21 touchdown passes. He is being recruited by Roy Cutshaw Jr., the recruiting coordinator at CSC. Culver-Stockton has an O-Lineman, Andrew Rupcich, who was named to the NAIA Coaches All-America First Team for the second straight year. The Wildcats averaged 339.5 yards per game, but were only able to play four games last fall. Culver-Stockton finished 1-3 with four games being canceled due to COVID-19.

At Mesa Mountain View, Malaki Ta'ase just finished a busy sports year and he received his first FBS offer on Tuesday from Nevada. The 6-2, 240-pound defensive end competed in three sports for the Toros (football, basketball, and track & field). Ta'ase was named the 6A Region Player of the Year after getting 61 tackles and 13 sacks in just eight games. He will be starting for the fourth straight year on the Mountain View varsity. Ta'ase uses the footwork skills from the hardwood on the football field. Nevada is coming off a 7-2 record in the abbreviated season. That includes a win over Tulane in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The Wolf Pack are looking for another big year as it returns the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year in quarterback Carson Strong. Nevada opens the season on Sept. 4 at Cal.

Saguaro quarterback Ridge Docekal already had a half dozen offers, but he collected his biggest one yet on Tuesday from the University of Houston. In his announcement on social media, the 6-3, 210-pound signal caller recognized some of the greats to come out of UH - Case Keenum, David Klingler, Andre Ware, and Kevin Kolb. In his first season taking most of the reps behind center, Docekal passed for 916 yards and seven touchdowns in six games as the Sabercats went 5-1 and made it back to the Open Division tournament. This year, Houston is celebrating 75 years of athletics. The Cougars had their first year of athletic competition in 1946 and will honor past teams and stars throughout the season in all sports. UH will open on the road in Lubbock against Texas Tech on Sept. 4. The Cougars finished 3-5 last season and play in the American Athletic Conference.

UPDATED: 5/17/21

Once again, the University of Washington has come down to Arizona and plucked one of its prospects away from Saguaro High School. The program that saw Byron Murphy and Jacobe Covington trade in Black & Gold for Purple & Gold will have another member from SagU in its 2022 class with the commitment of Parker Brailsford.

Brailsford, a 6-3, 265-pound offensive guard, announced his verbal commitment to Washington. The Huskies extended an offer to him just six days ago.

The offer list for Brailsford numbered at 16 with exactly half of the Pac-12 in pursuit.

Brailsford is an aggressive player who is quick off the line and plays physical. Both he and teammate Bram Walden were named to the All-5A Conference team last season. Walden signed with Oregon last December.

Brailsford is the ninth soon-to-be senior from this class to make his college commitment. Three of the nine are offensive linemen.

Fans of Washington football are encouraged by a home schedule in 2021 that will feature seven home games in Seattle. Last year, the Pac-12 schedule was reduced to seven games total and for the Huskies, three of them were canceled. UW finished the year at 3-1. Montana will visit Husky Stadium on Sept. 4 to kick things off. Washington travels to Tucson to face Arizona on Friday, Oct. 22 and will host Arizona State on Nov. 13.
