UPDATED: 8/11/21

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 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Times for games are given in Arizona time.

Caleb Richardson received an offer from Allegheny College last Wednesday. The defensive tackle at Perry had 13 tackles over five games played last season. The 6-3, 230-pound lineman toured the Midwest in June and visited Lake Forest (Ill.), Ripon (Wisc.), Wisconsin-River Falls, and Lewis & Clark (Ore.). In the classroom, Richardson carries a 3.63 GPA. Allegheny, which plays in the North Coast Athletic Conference (Div. III), is looking forward to getting back on the field after not playing last year. The Gators open at home against Thiel (Pa.) on Sept. 4. The Gators finished 4-6 in 2019.

Desert Vista returns offensive lineman Jai Rodriquez, who played both tackle positions on the line in the 2020 season. The 6-6, 275-pounder collected an offer from Portland State last Friday. This season, Rodriquez will play left tackle and can also fill in at center. He's impressive in the weight room with a squat max of 395. It was a busy summer camp schedule for Rodriquez, who went to Iowa State, Northern Arizona, Colorado, Arizona, and UNLV. This was his third offer from the Big Sky Conference. Portland State began preparations for its season last Friday. The Vikings opted out of a spring season last January, so this September will bring their first games since 2019. PSU returns 34 players and 13 starters from that '19 team, which will open its season on Sept. 4 at Hawaii. Portland State finished 5-7 in 2019.

With an injury to the starter, Skyler Partridge took the controls for Horizon's last regular season game in 2020. The 5-10, 165-pound quarterback earned his first offer last Friday from Whittier College. Partridge showed wheels as a dual threat at the lower levels rushing for a combined 15 touchdowns on the Frosh (2018) and JV (2019) teams. He's likely battling for a starting spot as all three of the Huskies' QBs return, but he can break out of the pocket and use his legs to extend plays. Whittier is coming back from a hiatus in competition as the Poets have not played since 2019. Whittier, located in Los Angeles County, will open on the road at La Verne (Calif.) on Sept. 4. The Poets play in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (Div. III) and went 3-7 in 2019.

Another Division III offer went out last Sunday to Jacob Franze. The 5-10, 175-pound safety from Chaparral gained it from the University of Chicago, one of the most prestigious institutions in the country. Franze piled up 36 tackles and recovered a fumble as the Firebirds won the 6A Conference championship. He's a two-time All-Academic selection and you can see why with his lofty 4.4 GPA. Chicago didn't play any games last academic year, but the Maroons posted a 6-3 record in 2019. That was good for second place in the South Division of the Midwest Conference. UChicago returns to the field on Sept. 4 at home against Washington University - St. Louis.

Monday marked the first day that 4A-6A players could practice in helmets. One of those linemen ready to get going is offensive tackle Brigham Alexander out of Benjamin Franklin. Last Sunday, Alexander got an offer from Lyon College. He stands 6-6 and weights 315 pounds with an 84-inch wingspan. Last month, Alexander and his Charger teammates bonded together with a week of camp up in the pines. An excellent student, he carries a 4.5 GPA. Lyon is predicted to finish 6th in the 10-team Sooner Athletic Conference (NAIA) via the preseason coaches' poll. The Scots were 0-5 in an abbreviated spring season and will open up its schedule on Aug. 28 at Missouri Baptist. The following week, Lyon will play in Surprise against Ottawa. On Oct. 9, Lyon will celebrate its Homecoming in Arkansas against Arizona Christian.

Monday marked the sixth Division I offer for Angel Flores. The Casa Grande quarterback obtained it from Eastern Washington. Flores has started on the varsity since his freshman year (31 games) and threw for 1,563 yards and 11 touchdowns as the Cougars went 8-2 and were the No. 1 seed in the 4A Conference playoffs last year. A dual threat, he rushed for 934 yards and 16 TDs. Flores has hit double-digits in touchdowns scored in each of his three seasons and has 41 in his career. The 6-2, 205-pounder also totes a 4.16 GPA. Eastern Washington is ranked No. 11 in the Stats Preform Preseason FCS Top 25. The Eagles are one of five teams in the Big Sky Conference to make the rankings. In the unique spring season in 2021, EWU finished 5-2 and made it to the playoffs. Eastern Washington opens its fall schedule on Sept. 2 at UNLV.

A teammate of Flores picked up an offer on Wednesday. Dematris Azcueta received it from Clarke University. The 5-8, 165-pound cornerback had 30 tackles and a fumble recovery for Casa Grande last season. He also returned kicks and punts and sports a 3.2 GPA. Azcueta is now approaching double-digit offers. He can close the gap on receivers with his great speed. Heading into its third season as a program, Clarke is picked to finish fourth in the six-team North Division of the Heart of America Athletic Conference (NAIA) preseason poll. The Pride finished 2-3 in a COVID-altered season last year in which three of the final four games were eventually canceled. Clarke will host its opener this year in Iowa against Evangel (Mo.) on Aug. 28.

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.

UPDATED: 7/28/21

The Iowa State roster, which should contend for a Big 12 title, includes five players from Arizona. On Wednesday, the Cyclones reeled in another one from their Southwest recruiting hot spot.

Three-star all-purpose back Quaron Adams of Chandler High School announced his commitment to ISU on social media. Adams had offers from 11 schools, including Oregon, Arizona, and Arizona State.

Iowa State will use Adams as a receiver, which is mostly what he did for the Wolves last season. The 5-8, 155-pound athlete caught 45 passes for 361 yards during Chandler's perfect 10-0 year which ended with a second straight Open Division Championship (and fifth overall title).

In June, Adams visited both Tucson and Ames, Iowa. He received his scholarship offer from ISU last September, right before the pandemic-delayed 2020 season started.

He first opened up eyes in Arizona with his blazing speed. Adams won the 100-meters at the Division I state meet in 2019 as a freshman, posting a time of 10.49 seconds. In addition to the speed, he brings elusiveness and versatility.

This is the second straight year for one of the Wolves' offensive players to head to Iowa State. Last February, running back Eli Sanders signed with the Cyclones.

Iowa State has a player on the Biletnikoff Watch List in wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson. Last season, Hutchinson was the conference's Newcomer of the Year. The Cyclones started off the calendar year of 2021 with a Fiesta Bowl win over Oregon (34-17) to finish at 9-3. This fall's schedule begins on Sept. 4 with a home game against Northern Iowa.

Out of Northern Arizona's 2021 class, 19 of the 26 signees were from the state. Head Coach Chris Ball and the Lumberjacks are working within the boundaries of State 48 again and got their first in-state commit on Tuesday with O'Connor linebacker Brevin Czosnyka.

Czosnyka is listed at 6-3 and 190 pounds. NAU is recruiting him to play the nickel linebacker spot. That would place him as an underneath defender responsible for defending the perimeter. If the offense has a two-back set, or two receivers to one side, the nickel normally plays a role in stopping the run. It's a position Czosnyka wants to play at the college level.

"The coaches are really good guys," Czosnyka said in a text message. "They care about their players. I also have friends that I used to play with up there playing right now."

Kody Say, a wide receiver at Northern Arizona, played his high school ball at O'Connor (Class of 2020).

Last season, Czosnyka had 84 tackles, two sacks, and two interceptions. One of the picks was returned for a touchdown against Shadow Ridge during a 37-21 road victory.

The Lumberjacks beat out three other Big Sky schools for Czosnyka. He held offers from Eastern Washington, Idaho, and Montana State. He received his offer from NAU in May.and visited the Flagstaff campus a couple weeks ago.

The Big Sky Conference held its three-day kickoff event earlier this week. The Lumberjacks were tabbed to finish 7th in the 13-team league in both the media and coaches polls. Northern Arizona finished 3-2 this past spring during an abbreviated season after the fall slate was postponed. The Jacks open this fall on Thursday, Sept. 2 against Sam Houston (Tex.).

Just a day later, Northern Arizona had another commitment as Desert Vista running back/safety Devon Grubbs announced his commitment.

The 6-foot, 195-pound athlete will be reuniting with his older brother, Tyson, who played in two games for the Lumberjacks last spring.

"I love the location and the coaches really showed me that they prioritized me," Grubbs said in a text message. "I know I'd really feel at home with my brother and former teammates being there."

Grubbs has played on varsity for the Thunder since his freshman year when he rushed for 768 yards and 13 touchdowns in nine games filling in for Tyson, who was out with an injury. The past two years, it's been Devon that has lost time due to injuries. The 2020 season began with him playing through a groin injury early on, and ended with him in a walking boot. In four games, Grubbs was mainly used on defense and excelled. Against Basha, he piled up 19 tackles. Over those four games, he ended up with 52 tackles and two forced fumbles.

He said NAU is recruiting him at the nickel position on defense. Grubbs now heads into his senior year as one of the team's captains under new head coach Ty Wisdom.

The University of Arizona brought Jordan Paopao in as its new tight ends coach in January. Paopao, who has nearly a decade of experience in the Pac-12 with Washington, has a new tight end to work with in Brophy's Tyler Powell.

The 6-7, 240-pound Powell, selected Arizona on Friday over offers from Auburn, Florida State, Iowa State, and Arizona State, among others. He received his offer from the Wildcats just a couple weeks after Paopao was hired by new head coach Jedd Fisch and took an official visit to Tucson in June.

"It felt like home," Powell said in a text message. "It's close to home. I want to be a part of the energy of what the staff is doing down there."

Powell, who also pitches for the Broncos, is particularly interested in the business school. He made his decision to commit just three weeks before Brophy will begin its 2021 schedule with a game at Central High against longtime-rival St. Mary's.

Powell, who is rated as a three-star recruit, is the 14th commitment in the '22 Arizona class and second tight end. He is also the fifth from within the state to pledge to the 'Cats joining Russell Davis (Hamilton), Isaiah Johnson (Chandler), Tristan Monday (Saguaro), and Grayson Stovall (Hamilton). Powell was mainly used as a blocker for the Broncos' run game as their starting quarterback was lost to injury in the first quarter of the first game of the season in 2020. With his size, he could prove to be a mismatch for defenders that have to cover him across the middle or in the end zone.

Arizona will continue to have open practices through Saturday, Aug. 21. That will be the second of two Fan Fest weekends. The Wildcats will kick off their season on Sept. 4 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for a neutral-site game against BYU. ESPN will have the broadcast at 7:30 p.m. Arizona (0-5 in 2020) will be looking to end a 12-game losing streak.
