UPDATED: 4/3/22

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 330 players from the Class of 2022 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Picking up his first offer from a military academy was Genesis Smith, who got one on Sunday from Army. Smith, a 6-2, 185-pound safety at Hamilton, already has five FBS offers, including a pair from Mountain West schools. He had 40 tackles and led the Huskies with four interceptions last season. Earlier in March, Smith competed in the Under Armour Next Camp in Los Angeles. He shows range and can cover receivers that enter his area. Army has added a new safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator. Scot Sloan comes to West Point after spending four seasons at Georgia Southern working in both of those capacities. The Black Knights finished 9-4 last year and defeated Missouri in the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth. It was Army's fourth win in that bowl in as many tries.

Earning his 28th offer on Monday was Kyler Kasper. The Williams Field wide receiver got it from TCU. Kasper, who is 6-5 and 195 pounds, was the Black Hawks' leading receiver last year. He had 51 catches for 943 yards and scored nine touchdowns. Kasper's high game was a 200-yard effort (in just six catches) in a 37-35 shootout win over Desert Ridge. He went on an unofficial visit to Oregon earlier in March and has the Ducks in his Top 10. TCU began spring practice last week. The Horned Frogs completed the first six of those on Saturday with the 15th and final one being the annual Spring Game in Fort Worth on April 22. TCU (5-7 in 2021) will open its season on Friday, Sept. 2 at Colorado.

Mountain View is coming off its best season since 2008. The Toros, who went 8-3, return the passing connection of Jack Germaine and tight end Jackson Bowers. Bowers collected an offer from Alabama on Friday. He caught 47 passes for 861 yards and scored five touchdowns last season. Earlier in the week, Bowers went on an unofficial visit to BYU. He now has 25 offers and plans to take all five of his official visits before committing to a school. Alabama has been among the schools contacting him the most. The Crimson Tide held their first scrimmage of the spring on Saturday. Alabama has conducted eight of its practices leading up to the annual Golden Flake A-Day Game on April 16. Alabama (13-1) won the SEC Championship and the Cotton Bowl before suffering its only loss in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game last January to Georgia.

Alex Doost is a 6-6, 290-pound offensive tackle at Mountain Ridge. A 3-star pick for the Class of '23, he is now up to 16 offers as Colorado extended an offer on Thursday. Doost has offers from seven of the Pac-12 schools and went to Junior Day at Cal last month. He has also recently visited Arizona and would like to check out Michigan State as well. He helped the Mountain Lions to an 8-4 record behind an offense that averaged 40 points and 274 passing yards per game. Colorado was in helmets and shoulder pads on Saturday. The team is installing a new offense under offensive coordinator Mike Sanford. The Buffs' have three returners on the O-Line with experience. The first scrimmage of camp is planned for next Saturday. CU finished 4-8 last year.

Here's the rest of the offers since last Sunday (3/27):

Saguaro cornerback Carlos Griffin received an offer from Army.
Williams Field cornerback Josiah Dye received an offer from Army.
Coconino linebacker Pierson Watson received his first offer from Nevada.
Basha linebacker Wyatt Milkovic received an offer from Boise State.
Red Mountain wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane received an offer from Hawaii.
Chaparral defensive end Gavin Geweniger receiver an offer from UNLV.
Hamilton linebacker Alex McLaughlin received an offer from Massachusetts.
Eastmark safety Kaiden McCarty received his first offer from Ottawa.
River Valley offensive guard Daniel Contreras received his first offer from Arizona Christian.

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.

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.
