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. Morningside became his fifth 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 Jay Schlichte., the Offensive Line coach and Run Game coordinator at Morningside College. The Mustangs reached the NAIA semifinals for a fourth straight season. Morningside, located in Iowa, wound up 10-1 and finished the year ranked No. 3. The powerhouse program also won its 10th consecutive Great Plains Athletic Conference title.

The O'Connor defense held four opponents to 14 or fewer points during a 6-4 season that ended in the 6A Conference semifinals. One of three linebackers returning in '21 is Brevin Czosnyka, who received an offer from Northern Arizona last Friday. The 6-3, 190-pounder had 84 tackles, two sacks, and a pair of interceptions for the Eagles. A sprinter, Czosnyka ran a 10.83 in the 100 meters at the Hal Anders Invitational at Apollo in April. He also played for True Buzz West Coast this offseason, which was featured in this documentary by Arizona Varsity's Andrew Morgan. Northern Arizona is coming off a successful 3-2 spring season that was one opposing Hail Mary away from a 4-1 campaign and likely FCS playoff spot. This fall will bring the return of a full eleven-game season and it will start in Flagstaff on Thursday, Sept. 2 against the newly crowned champs from Sam Houston State (Tex.). Homecoming Weekend for the Lumberjacks will be on Oct. 16 when Southern Utah visits to compete for the Grand Canyon Trophy.

Earning his third offer in five days last Friday was Ty Robinson. This one was local as it came from Arizona Christian. The 6-2, 210-pounder is a defensive end at Basha. 2020 was a big year for the Bears as a young team grew quickly as they went 6-3, won the 6A Central Region, and made the eight-team conference playoff field. In five games, Robinson had 36 tackles for BHS. Robinson was invited to an NAU camp next month at Higley HS and plans to compete. Arizona Christian had four players named NAIA All-Americans last season and two of those played their high school football within the state. Riley Tucker (Desert Mountain) was named to the Second Team Defense. His six interceptions tied for the most in the country. Nestor Higuera (Paradise Valley) was named to the Second Team as a Specialist. He booted seven field goals including a 46-yarder that won the Sooner Athletic Conference title for the Firestorm. Both Tucker and Higuera will return next season as ACU seeks to defend its championship. The Firestorm went 9-2 and made the playoffs for the first time in school history (program began in 2014).

Also picking up offers from Arizona Christian this week were Augustin Chiang, a 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback/receiver at Coolidge and Josiah Gardner, a 6-1, 265-pound defensive tackle at Willow Canyon. Chiang was a First Team All-3A Central Region selection for the Bears at defensive back. Last season, he had 29 tackles and intercepted three passes. On offense, Chiang grabbed 13 receptions for 232 yards and three touchdowns. Like Czosnyka, he worked on his game during the offseason by playing 7-on-7 ball for True Buzz West Coast. This is the first offer for Gardner, who was a First Team All-5A West II Region selection. He had 21 tackles for the Wildcats last season with eight of those in a victory over Canyon View. Gardner made the 500-pound club for squat at WCHS and also carries a 3.76 GPA.

May 5 marked the return of football at Sierra Linda. The Tolleson District school didn't get to have a season last fall. That hasn't prevented the Bulldog players from being recruited, though. Defensive tackle Anthony Mendez collected his first offer from Mayville State last Friday. Mendez (6-2, 295) competed in the shot put and discus this spring. He posted the fourth-longest shot put distance in school history this month with a throw of 41'-5.5" to win the district championship. Mayville State, located in North Dakota, went 2-7 last season with six of those games being played last fall. It was a long, strange year that began on Sept. 12 and ended on May 1! The Comets are in the North Star Athletic Association (NAIA).

Brigham Alexander is a big guy (6-6. 310) with good grades (4.54 GPA) and they get recruited! The offensive tackle at Benjamin Franklin HS gained an offer from Graceland University last Friday. Alexander keeps defensive linemen away from Charger ball carriers with his 84-inch wingspan. Away from football, he's been involved in soccer, wrestling, and orchestra at BFHS. Alexander is just as determined in the classroom and scored a 33 on his ACT. Despite issues with COVID-19, Graceland was able to play five football games last fall. The Yellowjackets will seek to end an 18-game losing streak when play resumes this September with a full season. Graceland is in the Heart of America Athletic Conference (NAIA) and is located in Iowa.

Michael Masunas got his second offer from the Pac-12 Conference (and 13th overall) from Utah last Saturday. The 6-5, 235-pound tight end at Hamilton is looking for a productive senior season on a deep Huskies' offense. Last season, he caught just seven passes for 57 yards. Masunas has planned his first trip to Michigan State next month once the dead period is over and prospects can take official visits to campuses and meet with coaching staffs. Utah has scheduled a future home-and-home with Wisconsin. The Utes will go to Madison in 2028 and host the Badgers in 2033. It's the fifth Power Five non-conference opponent that Utah has on its upcoming schedule. The 2021 schedule doesn't include any as the first three games consist of Weber State, BYU, and San Diego State. The Utes had a rough start with an 0-2 record and three cancellations in the first five weeks, but finished strong with a mark of 3-2.

Lake Forest College has had plenty of Arizona-bred players in its recent history and the Foresters are continuing their pursuit with offers to Emmanuel Ajala, Logan Hubler, and Ivan Martin last Sunday. Ajala is a 6-4, 250-pound offensive tackle at Chandler. This is his first offer. Hubler is a 6-1, 155-pound quarterback at ALA-Queen Creek. He passed for 2,554 yards and 29 touchdowns as the Patriots advanced to the 4A semifinals. A speedy dual threat, Hubler rushed for nine TDs. Martin is a 5-11, 180-pound cornerback at Saguaro. He played in four games and had 16 tackles plus a pick-six. Martin is physical, not afraid to press receivers and showed well at both Saguaro's showcase event and the Lake Forest satellite camp earlier this month. The Foresters will start the '21 season on the road with a night game at Wisconsin Lutheran on Sept. 4. The rest of the slate will consist of Midwest Conference (Div. III) games. LFC played three spring games this year and won all of them. In their last full season (2019), the Foresters were 7-3.

Martin added offers from Grand View and Wisconsin-River Falls on Thursday. Grand View finished the 2020-21 season ranked No. 5 in the NAIA poll. The Vikings finished 7-1 and made the quarterfinals. The school is located in Des Moines. Wisconsin-River Falls is a Division III school that plays in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The league did not play any games in the fall or spring. UWRF will return with a home game against Elmhurst (Ill.) on Sept. 4 at Ramer Field.

John West is making the jump in his senior year from eight-man football to 11 as he transferred from Desert Heights Prep to Deer Valley. He obtained a new offer last Sunday from St. Norbert College. The 5-9, 160-pounder was an athlete in every sense of the word for the Yotes, who were limited to six games in 2020. West has been a three-year starter in the secondary and was a team captain. He also rushed for 468 yards and five touchdowns in just four games. On special teams, West returned kicks and had a 40-yard runback against Bagdad. St. Norbert, also a member of the Midwest Conference, didn't play any games this academic year. The Green Knights plan to resume with a full schedule this September, beginning at home in De Pere, Wisconsin against Loras (Iowa). SNC went 6-3 in 2019. West also received an offer from Wisconsin-River Falls on Thursday.

Casa Grande was the top seed in last year's 4A playoffs and one of its players received his first offer as Dematris Azcueta pocketed one from Finlandia University. The 5-8, 145-pound cornerback started his second year with the Cougars. Last year, Azcueta had 30 tackles and also returned kickoffs and punts. He has speed to close in on receivers. This offer is his first and his recruitment could pick up as he has a 3.5 GPA and 28 on his ACT. Finlandia landed an Arizona prospect from the Class of 2021 a couple weeks ago as Abel Aguirre (Dysart), an offensive lineman, signed with the Lions. Finlandia, a Divsion III school, did not play any games this academic year. The Lions will be looking to end a 21-game losing streak on Sept. 4 at Lawrence (Wisc.). Finlandia is located in Michigan on the Upper Peninsula.

Concordia College has set its footing in Arizona for several years now grabbing some of our local high school talent to take back to northwest Minnesota to become Cobbers. On Wednesday, two linemen from the Class of '22 reaped offers - Jaden Lay and Jayden Hurst. Lay is a 5-11, 255-pound center at Valley Vista. He is a beast in the weight room and made the 1,300-pound club for the Monsoon (combined bench, squat, and clean totals). Last week, Lay did three reps of 500 pounds in the squat. Hurst is a 5-11, 235-pound defensive tackle at Red Mountain. He also has a 500+ pound squat to his credit. It was a school-record 520 pounds in the back squat. In college, Hurst would like to study Engineering. Assistant coach Dave Klug recently announced his retirement from Concordia College. He just completed his 33rd year with the Division III program. He played for the Cobbers and was drafted by the Chiefs in 1980. Like Finlandia, Concordia didn't play any games this school year. The Cobbers, members of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, will resume play this fall.

Southwest Minnesota State continues to recruit in Arizona for the Mustangs' future 2022 signing class. On Thursday, it was Fisher Camac securing his first offer from SMSU. Camac is a 6-7, 230-pound defensive end at Highland. In his first year as a starter, he had 44 tackles as the Hawks reached the 6A Conference championship game for the first time. Camac was invited to an NAU camp at Higley HS on June 9. Despite not having a football season in the 2020-21 academic year, Southwest Minnesota State signed a 72-member recruiting class in February. That total included a pair of players from Arizona. The Mustangs compete in the 14-team Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (Div. II). In 2019, SMSU concluded its season with a 3-8 record.

Cactus played in the 4A title game last season and is determined to get back with several returners. One of those is safety Joseph Lagafuaina, who seized an offer from Benedictine College on Friday. He is a 6-foot, 170-pound safety that had 25 tackles and a pair of interceptions for the Cobras. Lagafuaina also saw time on offense and was a big-play receiver with 11 catches - 6 of which went for touchdowns! He had four receptions of 45 or more yards. Benedictine College, located in Kansas, went 8-2 overall and finished in second place in the Heart of America South Division (NAIA). The Ravens wrapped up their season with a 48-0 blanking of Hastings. The new season will start for Benedictine on Aug. 28 when it travels to Iowa to face William Penn.

Here's the rest of the players offered since last Friday:

Cactus center Mason Cullop received an offer from Concordia College (Minn.).
Saguaro running back Bryan Bogardus received an offer from Puget Sound.
Perry defensive tackle Adam Knowles received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Basha safety Jordan Anderson received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Centennial offensive guard Oliver Ocampo received his first offer from Wisconsin-River Falls.
Mountain Pointe linebacker Jacob Romero received his first offer from Arizona Christian.
Mountain Pointe running back Devon Sparks received his first offer from Arizona Christian.
Perry defensive end Steven Kennedy Jr. received an offer from Benedictine College (Kans.).

This list shows four-year college offers received by juniors 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.

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.
