Williams Field WR Kasper brings 6-5 frame and skill
UPDATED: 3/18/22
Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 310 players from the Class of 2022 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.
Today we launch the 2023 Recruiting Page! So far, 62 juniors have received offers. We'll continue to update the list of players below daily leading up to the start of the 2022 football season.
We are currently in a Quiet Period. During this time, college coaches can only have face-to-face contact with a recruit on their college campus. Coaches are not allowed to visit the players' high schools. This continues through April 14. From April 15 to May 31, we will be in the spring Evaluation Period. Many college coaches will visit during this time. It includes the weeks of spring practices and also showcases, which are practices with multiple schools at one location (but not squaring off in drills against one another).
One of the most recruited wide receivers in the class is Kyler Kasper. The 6-5, 195-pound pass catcher at Williams Field claimed his 27th offer on Tuesday from Louisville. He finished his junior year with 51 catches for 943 yards and nine touchdowns, all of which were team-highs for the Black Hawks. Last month, Kasper narrowed that list of offers down to a top 10, which includes Ohio State, Iowa, Oregon, and Arizona State. Last weekend, he took a second unofficial visit to Eugene to see the Ducks. In recent classes, Oregon has successfully recruited high-level talent like Ty Thompson (Mesquite), Johnny Johnson (Chandler), Bram Walden (Saguaro), and Brandon Buckner (Chandler).
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 14-16. 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.

Martin, 4-star Basha CB, commits to Oregon
UPDATED: 3/18/22
We already have a pair of juniors that have announced their verbal commitments. Both are to Power Five schools with one on offense and one on defense.
Tanque Verde offensive tackle Jack Endean became the first in-state commitment for the '23 class when he pledged to Oklahoma State in December. The 6-6, 280-pound lineman is an aggressive blocker for the Hawks. Endean enjoyed a game day experience of Bedlam when OSU defeated Oklahoma last November in a thrilling 37-33 game that included a storming of the field. The Cowboys went on to defeat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale on New Year's Day. Tanque Verde competes at the 2A level and the school earned the most wins in the 15-year history of the school in 2021 with a 6-3 season.
Basha cornerback Cole Martin will take his competitive drive to Eugene and the Oregon Ducks. The 5-10, 175-pound athlete has only lost three regular season varsity games in three years. Martin played his first two years at Hamilton before transferring to Basha last summer. He was cleared in time for the first game and helped the Bears win their region and go 10-0 to earn a spot in the Open Division. Martin had 67 tackles and is one of the most elite returners in the state. He averaged 55 yards on his five kickoff returns and 17.8 yards in 17 punt runbacks. Martin scored touchdowns on two of those kickoffs and also added a pair rushing. He announced his college decision in Basha's gym on New Year's Day. Martin had offers from 33 schools, including nine in the Pac-12. He took a trip to UO in February.
