UPDATED: 8/10/22

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 390 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.

Paradise Honors running back Vance Cooper received his sixth offer last Friday. This one came from Knox College. The 5-10, 190-pound back played in just one game for the Panthers last season after transferring from Willow Canyon due to transfer rules and injury. He was able to begin lifting again in December and started hitting showcase camps in February. As a sophomore in 2020, Cooper rushed for 520 yards and eight touchdowns, so he should be poised for a big senior year on a 3A offense that looks pretty strong. Knox is looking to play a full 10 games after one of last year's contests was cancelled. It begins for the Prairie Fire on Sept. 3 at home against Westminster College (Mo.). Knox, located outside of Peoria in the state of Illinois, finishes with the Bronze Turkey Bowl game against Monmouth College (Ill.). That rivalry is the 13th oldest in the nation and dates back to 1888. That matchup will be played on Nov. 12 at the Knosher Bowl on Knox's campus. Knox went 3-6 last season and plays in the Midwest Conference (Div. III).

Hamilton had another successful season in 2021, finishing with an 11-1 record and a trip to the Open semifinals. It was the third straight year the Huskies have won an Open playoff game. One of the returners to that offense this fall is Tre' Spivey. The 6-4, 190-pound wide receiver collected an offer from Oklahoma State last Wednesday. Spivey had 26 catches for 394 yards and scored seven touchdowns last season. He caught passes for the Elite 11 quarterbacks at their camp back in June. Oklahoma State held its Media Day on Saturday following the completion of the first week of fall camp. The Cowboys finished 12-2 last year and played in the Big 12 Conference Championship. OSU didn't win that one against Baylor, but it did take the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day in Glendale over Notre Dame. Oklahoma State opens on Thursday, Sept. 1 at home in Stillwater against Central Michigan. FS1 will have the national broadcast at 4 p.m.

Another team that had a great season last year was Desert Mountain. The Wolves went 11-2 posting their highest win total in school history (26th season). Coming back on the defense for DMHS is Nolan Clement. The 6-3, 220-pound edge rusher earned an offer from the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota last Friday. Clement had 59 tackles and 10 sacks over nine games. In addition to the sacks, he forced three fumbles. It was his first high school season in Arizona after moving in from Georgia last summer. This will be the second season at the Division I FCS level for St. Thomas. The Tommies went 7-3 to post the program's 14th consecutive winning season. In the Pioneer Football League preseason coaches' poll, the Purple were tabbed to finish third. St. Thomas begins its season on Thursday, Sept. 1 at Southern Utah.

A new American Leadership Academy will be making its debut this year. ALA-West Foohills is a charter school in Waddell. Joining the Guardians this year is Caleb Boonzaayer. The 6-3, 235-pound defensive end played for Glendale Prep last season and gained offers this week from Rose-Hulman and Kalamazoo. Boonzaayer had 48 tackles and two sacks last year for GP. He brings a high individual academic standard to ALA as well (4.60 GPA). Like many linemen in the state, he works with Ron Sowers at Training Better Athletes. Rose-Hulman, a top engineering school in Indiana, will face a challenging schedule with a pair of conference champions on it from last year. The Fightin' Engineers finished 8-3 last season and made the Division III playoffs for the second time in school history. The season begins at DePauw (Ind.) on Sept. 3. The Tigers won the North Coast Athletic Conference while Rose-Hulman captured the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference with a perfect 7-0 mark. Kalamazoo named a new defensive coordinator this offseason. Clay Whitehead returns to Kalamazoo after working on the Cornell College (Iowa) staff last year. Whitehead was an intern at KC in 2018 and remained on staff the next two seasons for the Hornets. Kalamazoo, located in southern Michigan, is also a Division III school. The Hornets play in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and went 1-9 last year. Kalamazoo College starts this year on Sept. 3 at home against Oberlin (Ohio).

Last Friday, Bryce Jewell got an offer from Southwestern University in Texas. Jewell is a 5-10, 170-pound cornerback at Pusch Ridge in Tucson. He had 62 tackles and two interceptions last season for the Lions. Jewell is also a slotback and caught 37 passes for 407 yards and scored six touchdowns (one on defense). A versatile athlete, he made First Team All-3A South Region as a defensive back and Second Team as a punt returner. Jewell also plays basketball and carries a 4.0 GPA. Southwestern is kicking off its 10th season of the modern era. Southwestern disbanded its program back in 1951 and didn't resume it until the 2013 season. The season begins with a home game in Georgetown in central Texas against Cal Lutheran. The Pirates play in the American Southwest Conference (Div. III) and finished 4-6 last season.

Williams Field cornerback Josiah Dye picked up an offer from New Mexico on Monday. Air Force and Utah State had previously offered from the Mountain West Conference. Dye (6-1, 185) had 61 tackles, three forced fumbles, and two interceptions for the Black Hawks last season. He is a multi-sport athlete (track & basketball) and is a 3.8 GPA student. Dye was a First Team All-6A Fiesta Region selection last year at defensive back. New Mexico opened up its preseason practices last Friday in Albuquerque. The first two days were in helmets and then the shells came out on Monday. Lobo Football Camp runs through August 20 and then preparations for the opener against Maine will begin. The Black Bears take the long road trip to UNM on Sept. 3. The Lobos finished 3-9 last season.

Arizona College Prep returns its top running back from last year in Biruk Stephens. Stephens obtained an offer from Lewis & Clark last Sunday. He rushed for 424 yards and scored five touchdowns for the Knights as a junior, giving him 11 TDs for his career. In addition to football, Stephens wrestles and maintains a 4.36 GPA. He battled injuries last season, which limited his carries as the year went on. Stephens has put in the work, is healthy, and ready to go for his senior year which will come against 4A competition as ACP has moved up. Lewis & Clark has added a non-conference head-to-head matchup with Puget Sound that will be the opening game for the next four seasons. Lewis & Clark (located in Portland), is forging this partnership with its fellow Northwest small liberal arts college (located in Tacoma). In 2022, they will begin in Portland on Sept. 3. The conference matchup will take place in Washington on October 22. The Pioneers went 3-6 last season and play in the Northwest Conference (Div. III).

Cal became the fifth school to extend an offer to safety Genesis Smith on Tuesday. Smith, a 6-2, 185-pound defensive back at Hamilton, now has 18 offers overall. In his first full year on varsity for the Huskies, Smith had 40 tackles and intercepted four passes. He is a three-star prospect from Rivals. Smith put in a strong performance at Chilly's Flight Club 7-on-7 tournament over the summer. Earlier in June, he took the first of his official visits to Arizona. Cal players reported for fall camp last Thursday. The crowd included more than 250 players as many alumni were on campus to interact with the current Golden Bears. The '22 season will begin at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley on Sept. 3 against UC Davis. The Bears finished 5-7 last year.

Here's the rest of the offers since last Wednesday (8/3):

Saguaro defensive end Magnum West received an offer from St. Thomas (Minn.).
Liberty long snapper Tucker Allred received an offer from Lawrence (Wisc.).
Mesa wide receiver Tre Brown received an offer from Puget Sound (Wash.).
Trevor Browne center Rodrigo Guerrero received his first offer from Willamette (Ore.).
Moon Valley defensive tackle Sydney Lane received an offer from Willamette.
Arizona College Prep tight end Elijah Cazares received his first offer from Beloit (Wisc.).
Arizona College Prep quarterback Jayden Diaz received an offer from Beloit.
Coolidge cornerback Belclem Namegabe received an offer from Rocky Mountain (Mont.).
Marana Mountain View quarterback Josh Roman received an offer from Clarke (Iowa).
Brophy offensive tackle Luis Gastelum-Contreras received an offer from Clarke.

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.

Whether it's the Nike facilities in Eugene, the personality of the coaches, the long-term success of the program, or all those uniform combinations, Arizona players continue to become part of the flock of Ducks signing with Oregon.

On Wednesday, My'Keil Gardner became the latest to announce his plans for attending college at Oregon. The Liberty defensive end selected the Ducks over 20 other offers, including Michigan, Texas, and USC.

Arizona Varsity's Jacob Seliga and Cody Cameron interviewed Gardner and broke down his film.

The 6-2, 285-pound lineman had a breakthrough junior season with 86 tackles (24 TFL) and 10 sacks. He also helped Liberty advance in the 2021 Open Division playoffs with 4.5 sacks in a win over Basha.

Gardner received his offer from the Ducks in January and took an unofficial visit in March. He took all five of his official visits in May and June with Oregon being the last of the five on June 24. His other officials were to Cal, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Texas.

There are four players on the current Oregon roster that played high school ball in Arizona. They are: Ty Thompson (Mesquite), Brandon Buckner (Chandler), Kyler Kasper (Williams Field), and Bram Walden (Saguaro).

At the recent Pac-12 Media Day, new Oregon head coach Dan Lanning said there will be a competition for the starting quarterback job between Thompson and two other contenders (Jay Butterfield and Bo Nix) leading up to the Ducks' season opener at Georgia on Sept. 3. The Ducks won the Pac-12 North in the final year of division play in 2021 and finished 10-4 after their Alamo Bowl game against Oklahoma. The Georgia game will be on ABC at 12:30 p.m. on that first full college football Saturday. Oregon misses Arizona State this year, but travels to Tucson on Oct. 8 to face Arizona.

Just two days after Gardner's commitment, one of his Liberty teammates from the other side of the line announced where he is going. Offensive tackle Layton Vining will be going to the University of Idaho.

Vining, a 6-3, 260-pound lineman, received his offer from Idaho in June. He was named a Second Team All-6A Conference selection following another great season with Liberty, where the Lions advanced to the Open semifinals and took Chandler to overtime for the second straight year.

Vining can bench 325 pounds and squat 500. He also lifts the books well as he totes a 4.0 GPA. He is versatile enough to also be able to play the center and guard positions and will become a three-year starter for Liberty.

Idaho was the first school to offer Vining. He becomes the second Arizona HS commit to the Vandals in just three weeks joining Basha running back Deshaun Buchanan.

Idaho will start its season with just a 10-mile trip west to Washington State. The game is known as the Battle of the Palouse and will kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 3. The Pac-12 Network will have the broadcast of the game. After opening with games on the road at the Pac-12 and Big Ten (Indiana), the Vandals will settle into their Big Sky Conference (FCS) schedule. Idaho's first league game will be on Sept. 24 in Flagstaff at Northern Arizona. UI finished 4-7 last season.

Sunrise Mountain quarterback Austin Glimpse ended his recruitment on Thursday, announcing a verbal commit to South Dakota School of Mines.

Glimpse transferred to SMHS in the offseason after being the starter in his junior year at Centennial. He threw for 1,152 yards and three touchdowns as the Coyotes went to the 6A playoffs.

The 6-6, 215-pound signal caller visited South Dakota Mines in April and was offered by the Hardrockers a month later. The school is ranked among the top engineering programs in the country, which is the area Glimpse (who carries a 3.9 GPA) is interested in studying.

"They have aeronautical engineering, which is my dream to pursue," Glimpse said in a text message. "I clicked with the coaches from the get go. When I took an unofficial there, I knew it was home the second I stepped on the field. It's very clear to see that the program is progressing in a super-positive direction."

South Dakota Mines is located in Rapid City, just east of the Black Hills National Forest. It has a population of 75,000. That's much less than the nearly 5 million population of metro Phoenix.

"I always wanted to be in a small college town where the school is the heartbeat of the city," Glimpse said. "At SD Mines, that's 100% the case. Plus, you're within a 30-minute drive to some of the best hiking, fishing, and national parks in the nation."

Glimpse will have to sit the first five games per the AIA transfer rules, but will be ready once the Mustangs begin region play. It's a difficult back half of the schedule that includes games against Cactus, Desert Edge, Verrado, Mountain Pointe, and Millennium.

South Dakota School of Mines competes in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (Div. II). The Hardrockers had their first winning season since 2015 as they went 6-5 last year. SD Mines opens its season on Thursday, Sept. 1 at Missouri S&T.
