UPDATED: 6/16/22

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 380 players from the Class of 2022 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Times for games are given in Arizona time.

Hamilton linebackers Alex McLaughlin and Taye Brown each received their first Power Five offers last Sunday from Arizona. McLaughlin is a 6-2, 195-pounder that was a First Team All-6A Premier Region selection. He had 80 tackles and two sacks for the Huskies, who reached the Open Division semifinals last year. McLaughlin ran track last spring and clocked an 11.29 in the Chandler City Meet. Brown is a 6-3, 220-pound defender that made Second Team All-Region. He totaled 75 tackles and five sacks for HHS last season. Brown took part in the University of Arizona camp over the weekend and was offered by defensive coordinator Johnny Nansen. The Arizona Athletic Department is hosting a Juneteenth Shoe Drive this Saturday at the McKale Center ticket office. They are accepting donations of new and gently-used kid and adult shoes. Donations will go to those who are needy in the Tucson area. The Wildcat football team opens its season on Sept. 3 at San Diego State. CBS will have the game at 12:30 p.m. Arizona finished 1-11 last year.

McLaughlin added an offer from Weber State on Monday. Weber State is one of five Big Sky Conference teams ranked by Athlon Sports, and the Wildcats are rated at No. 13. WSU will open at home for just the second time in the past 10 years on Thursday, Sept. 1 against Western Oregon. Weber State (6-5 in 2021) has five all-conference players returning. Weber's last game of the regular season is on Nov. 19 in Flagstaff against Northern Arizona.

Brown tacked on an offer from Idaho on Tuesday. Idaho, also a member of the Big Sky Conference, has started summer conditioning drills. Fall camp will begin the first week of August and the Vandals open their season on Sept. 3 at Washington State. Idaho (4-7 last season) misses Weber State in 2022, but will also go to Flagstaff to face NAU. That game is Sept. 24 and begins conference play for UI.

McLaughlin continues to stack offers and did so with two more Pac-12 offers on Tuesday and Wednesday from Washington State and Colorado, respectively. Washington State had 10 players named to Preseason All-Pac-12 teams by Athlon Sports. The Cougars' opener against Idaho will be shown by the Pac-12 Network at 6:30 p.m. The following week will bring a bigger audience as WSU (7-6 in 2021) plays in Madison against Wisconsin on Sept. 10 for a 12:30 p.m. kickoff on FOX. Colorado opens its season at home in Boulder on Friday, Sept. 2 against TCU. ESPN will have that one nationally at 7 p.m. This will be the eighth time the Buffaloes have opened their season on a Friday night (a night normally reserved for high school football). CU (4-8 last season) doesn't have Washington State on the slate for '22, but will play both Arizona schools. Colorado travels to Tucson to face Arizona on Oct. 1 and will celebrate its homecoming later in the month on Oct. 29 against Arizona State.

UPDATED: 6/16/22

Three years ago, Notre Dame successfully recruited Tosh Baker, a lineman out of Pinnacle High School. The Fighting Irish have a commitment from another heralded Pioneer offensive lineman.

Elijah Paige, a 6-7, 305-pound offensive tackle, announced his commitment to Notre Dame last Friday. Paige was initially offered by the Irish in February and later went on an official visit the first weekend of June. The combination of high-level football and top academics has few equals.

"I'd say it was the mix of education and football," Paige said in a text message. "You won't find another place in the country where you can get an Ivy League-type of education and compete for a national title every year."

Paige was highly recruited, garnering offers from 34 schools, including Auburn, Oregon, Michigan, and Baylor. UCLA rated high on his list as he visited Westwood in May.

ESPN's College Gameday will make its first stop in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 3 and Notre Dame will be there. The Fighting Irish play Ohio State at 4:30 p.m on ABC. Notre Dame finished 11-2 last season and played in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale.

Basha High School now has four senior players committed to colleges as Ryan Blum made his decision last Sunday to attend and play for Central Michigan.

The 6-2, 275-pound center was a Second Team All-6A Central Region selection after helping the Bears average 42.9 points and 445 yards per game en route to a perfect 10-0 regular season in 2021. Basha made the Open Division tournament for the first time.

Blum said he loved the family atmosphere among the coaches and players and felt an immediate connection with offensive line coach William Vlachos. Vlachos was a starting center at Alabama and won two national championships there.

"Coach Vlachos has nearly identical measureables to me," Blum said in a text message. "(Head) Coach (Jim) McElwain is really doing great things with the program, including beating Washington State in the Sun Bowl last year. I can really see myself contributing to help CMU win a MAC championship in the years to come."

Blum received his offer from the Chippewas in April and also held offers from seven other schools, including Air Force, New Mexico State, and Columbia.

Central Michigan (9-4 last season) has 10 players on Athlon Sports' All-Preseason MAC team. The Chippewas are scheduled to open their season on Thursday, Sept. 1 at Oklahoma State. FS1 will have the national broadcast at 4 p.m. In November, the MAC will once again stand out with some midweek games. Central Michigan will play on Wednesday for three straight weeks from Nov. 2-16 with games being shown on either ESPN2, ESPNU, or the CBS Sports Network.

After the Tolleson District missed out on a season in 2020, some players transferred out to other schools that got to experience Friday Night Lights in the pandemic year. Stephon Daily stayed put at Sierra Linda and helped the Bulldogs to their best season in history in 2021 while establishing himself as a top-flight receiver.

The offers came, and last Sunday, Daily committed to Colorado State following his official visit to the Fort Collins campus.

"The love and loyalty there," Daily said in a text message of his reasons for pledging to CSU. "They all were welcoming and made me feel as family. Also, being able to play a successful role in their offense as they like to throw the ball!".

The 6-4, 175-pound pass catcher made big plays as he rolled up 1,001 yards on 51 receptions (19.6 yards/catch). Sierra Linda, which had never won more than four games in any of its first 10 seasons, went 8-2 and won the 4A Copper Sky Region.

Daily received his offer from the Rams in late December. He competed on the track team in 2021 and cleared 6-8 in the high jump.

Colorado State will have a national audience for its opener on Sept. 3 at Michigan. ABC will have the broadcast at 9 a.m. Times have been set for five of the Rams' six home games and all five of those will kick off at 5 p.m. or earlier. The Homecoming contest will be on Oct. 15 against Utah State. CSU finished 3-9 last season (2-6 in the Mountain West Conference).

Northern Arizona has its first in-state commitment and he's a quarterback. Adam Damante is the first QB in the Class of '23 from Arizona to announce his college intentions. The ALA-Gilbert North dual-threat made it known on social media on Tuesday.

Damante, 6-2, 180, led the Eagles to the 3A semifinals last season with an 11-2 record. He completed 65 percent of his passes in his first year as a starter. He threw for 3,382 yards and 46 touchdowns. On the ground, Damante added 305 yards and another 5 TDs. Damante showed he has some speed on the track as well, posting an 11.05 last March in the Maurice Greene Invitational in Los Angeles.

NAU was the first school to offer Damante, doing so in May. He visited the Flagstaff campus last weekend. Damante also totes a 3.8 GPA.

The Lumberjacks have five quarterbacks on the current roster and three of them are from State 48. Niko Haen (Sunnyslope) and PJ London (Blue Ridge) are both redshirt freshmen and Angel Flores (Casa Grande) is a true freshman. The Lumberjacks play in the Big Sky Conference (FCS) and went 5-6 last year. This season begins in Tempe on Thursday, Sept. 1 against Arizona State. The Pac-12 Network will have the game at 7 p.m. as the Lumberjacks attempt to topple a Pac-12 team for the second straight year. Last season, NAU traveled to Tucson and defeated Arizona, 21-19.
