UPDATED: 5/29/24

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. A total of 430 players from the Class of 2024 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Game times listed are in Arizona time.

We are currently in a dead period on the recruiting calendar (through Wednesday 5/29). During this time, college coaches cannot make in-person recruiting contacts or host official or unofficial visits to prospective players at their schools.

West Point defensive end Demico Price received his third overall offer, and first Division I, last Sunday from UNLV. He is a 6-3, 210-pound lineman that recorded 17 tackles and 8.5 sacks for the Dragons last season. Earlier this month, he competed in the Mega Camp put on by Lake Forest College. In April, Price took a trip to Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo. for its Junior Day. This year marks the 50th battle for the Fremont Cannon between in-state rivals UNLV and Nevada. The Rebels will host this year's game at Allegiant Stadium on Nov. 30. UNLV won last year's contest, 45-27, which allowed it to keep the unique trophy painted red for a third straight year. The Rebels went on to finish 9-5 and played in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl at Chase Field in Phoenix. UNLV will open this season on Aug. 31 at Houston.

UTEP offered Notre Dame linebacker Cody Wells last Sunday. The 6-3, 210-pound player ranked second on the Saints in tackles with 81 last season. Heading into his senior year. Wells will once again be a dual-sport athlete playing lacrosse as well. The offer from the Miners is his second from an FBS school. Wells also plays some offense (tight end) for NDP and caught 18 passes for 147 yards and scored three touchdowns. UTEP had more than 3,000 fans show up for its Spring Game earlier this month in El Paso. It ended up being an exciting one that came down to the final play as the Blue beat the Orange 39-35. UTEP (3-9 last year) opens its season on Aug. 31 in Lincoln at Nebraska. The Miners play in Conference USA.

Cactus offensive tackle Antonio Olguin collected his first offer on Wednesday. It came from Fort Lewis College from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (Div. II). Olguin played in the last six games for the Cobras last season after transferring from Sunrise Mountain. He got some work in to start out the summer last Saturday in the big man competition at the Gotta Believe tournament at Dobson. Last season, Cactus won its 22nd region title in school history by taking the 5A Desert West Region. Fort Lewis has been aggressive in recruiting the Class of '25. Last year, 10 from the state signed with the Skyhawks. Most of the roster returns this fall as last year's team had just nine seniors. FLC (0-11 last year) will kick off its season on Aug. 31 at home in Durango, Colo. against William Jewell College (Mo.).

Desert Edge CB Jamar Beal-Goines commits to Texas A&M Aggies

UPDATED: 4/30/24

Texas A&M is closing in on the national Top 10 when it comes to recruiting rankings and on Sunday, the Aggies added a corner from Arizona.

Three-star Desert Edge cornerback Jamar Beal-Goines announced his commitment to the Aggies as the school's 10th known commitment for the '25 class.

The 6-foot, 175-pound secondary player and speedster holds 18 offers with Texas A&M coming in relatively later in the process. Beal-Goines received his offer from the Aggies last January. He went on an unofficial visit a couple weeks ago and his talks with the coaching staff helped solidify his decision.

"My relationship with (defensive backs) Coach (Jordan) Peterson is what started it," Beal-Goines said in a text message. "When I visited and met with (Head) Coach (Mike) Elko, it sealed the deal."

A track athlete, Beal-Goines is one of the fastest players in the state. He ranks in the top five in Arizona for both the 100-meters (10.43) and 200-meters (21.41). Beal-Goines has been laser-timed at 4.29 in the 40-yard dash. On the football field, he had 24 tackles last season and has intercepted three passes in his two-year varsity career with the Scorpions.

Texas A&M had four players drafted by NFL teams last weekend. That list includes linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, who was selected by Green Bay in the second round. Elko just completed his first season of spring practices with the Aggies. He was hired in November after leading Duke the past two seasons. Texas A&M opens its schedule on Aug. 31 at Kyle Field in College Station against Notre Dame.


For the second week in a row, Arizona State has added an in-state commitment. Saguaro athlete Dajon Hinton announced his intentions to play for his hometown school.

The 5-11, 175-pounder plays both cornerback and receiver for the Sabercats. He is eager to get back on the field this fall because he missed his entire junior season due to an ACL tear. The last time he played in a game for Saguaro, Jason Mohns was his head coach. Mohns is now the tight ends coach at Arizona State.

In his sophomore year in 2022, Hinton caught 25 passes for 457 yards and scored five touchdowns (one on a kick return). Defensively, he made 12 tackles and intercepted a pass. It was just a few weeks after playing in the Open Division championship game that he received his offer from the Sun Devils.

Hinton has a multi-sport background (basketball and track) and carries a 3.83 GPA. He selected ASU over 16 other offers.

A couple weeks ago, Arizona State named a new receivers coach in Hines Ward. He played 14 years with the Pittsburgh Steelers and won a Super Bowl MVP in the team's win over Seattle. Ward started his coaching career with the Steelers before moving on to the Jets and Florida Atlantic. ASU (3-9 last season) opens on Aug. 31 in Tempe against Wyoming.

NOTE: Since this article intially ran, Rylon Dillard-Allen decommitted from ASU. Also, on Memorial Day, Hinton announced he has transferred to Hamilton.
