Valparaiso offers Casteel tight end Kubacki
UPDATED: 10/2/24
Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 430 players from the Class of 2024 signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.
All game times listed are in Arizona time.
Valparaiso made offers to a pair of players from the Southeast Valley recently. Merrik Kubacki and Carson Minnaar received them from the Beacons. Kubacki is a 6-5, 250-pound tight end at Casteel. He has seven catches this season for the Colts for 99 yards and has scored three touchdowns. Two of those TDs came in the home win over Mountain Ridge. Minnaar is a 6-1, 230-pound linebacker at Eastmark. He has four sacks this season, 17 tackles, and has also scored three rushing touchdowns. The offer from Valpo is his first D-I offer. It's Homecoming week for Valparaiso and the Beacons (2-3) will host defending Pioneer League (FCS) champion Drake (2-1) this Saturday. Valpo is looking to bounce back after a 17-5 loss last week at Morehead State. Valparaiso is located in northern Indiana and is part of the Chicago metropolitan area.
Here's the rest of the offers over the past two weeks (since 9/19):
Mesa defensive end Andrew Steiner received an offer from Kansas Wesleyan.

Idaho lands 2nd Arizona player for 2025 class with Verrado WR Brown
UPDATED: 10/2/24
We have two new commitments over the past couple of weeks, raising the total to 51 verbals from seniors in the state.
Verrado receiver Deriece Brown committed to Idaho on Sept. 20. The 6-3, 195-pound pass catcher heads into this week's game with his Viper teammates at Sunrise Mountain with a record 3-1.
When asked about the commitment, Brown cited "the culture they're building over there" as his main reason for heading to the Big Sky school. Idaho is 3-2 and will host Northern Arizona this Saturday.
Brown played cornerback on varsity last year as a junior. This season, he's on the offensive side of the ball for Verrado and has 10 catches for 177 yards and three touchdown catches.
Another player that will be staying in the West is Noah Hubbard, who announced his commitment to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps last Saturday. He is 6-2, 235 and plays defensive tackle for Brophy. Hubbard has 10 tackles and a sack in four games for the Broncos this season. Brophy will host Basha at Central High School Friday night in one of the biggest games not only in the state, but in the nation.
"For me, it was how much care and interest Coach Yog (defensive line coach David Aoyagi) showed while recruiting me," Hubbard said in a text message. "When I took a visit, he took me on a tour and I just loved everything - the culture of the team and the opportunities the school provides when college is done. It has a perfect balance of school and football in talking to the players."
