Western New Mexico offers LB Redwing from Red Mountain
UPDATED: 5/31/24
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.
May 30th marked the beginning of a Quiet Period. During this time it is permissible to make in-person recruiting visits only at the college campus. It is a time where official visits occur and one where schools host camps, where coaches can evaluate prospects. Recruiting contacts cannot be made in-person away from the college's campus. This period will last until June 23.
Tolleson defensive end Zion Lancaster received his first three offers on Thursday from Lake Erie, Wayne State, and Marshall. He is a 6-6, 205-pound defensive end who recorded 27 tackles and a sack in nine games last season. The three schools saw Lancaster this week at a national college showcase at Wayne State (in Detroit) that had over 80 colleges in attendance. After his senior season with the Wolverines, Lancaster is planning to play in the Game Time Senior Bowl in Phoenix next January. Lake Erie has a new head coach in David Price. He will lead the Storm on Sept. 7 at Ferris State (Mich.). Lake Erie (1-10 last season) plays in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (Div. II) and is located in Ohio. Wayne State will have two home games each month of the season starting on Thursday, Sept. 5 against Tiffin (Ohio). Wayne State (3-8 in 2023) is a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (Div. II). This is the 118th season of Marshall football and the Thundering Herd's second game at Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 will be shown nationally on The CW with a 1:30 p.m. kickoff. Marshall (6-7 last year) plays in the Sun Belt Conference (FBS) and made the Frisco Bowl last December.
Earning a new offer on Friday was Jacob Redwing. The Red Mountain linebacker secured it from Western New Mexico. Like Lancaster, Redwing performed in front of coaches at a camp. In this case, WNMU's camp was in the East Valley at Corona del Sol HS in Tempe. Redwing, who is 5-10 and 195 pounds, had 61 tackles and a pair of sacks for the Mountain Lions last season. He carries a 4.13 GPA in the classroom as well. Redwing ran track this spring competing in the 100 and 200 meters. Western New Mexico was tapped into the state of Arizona last year. The Mustangs signed 25 players from Arizona, including four from Red Mountain. They will try to help WNMU rebound from a 2-8 season. The Mustangs play in the Lone Star Conference (Div. II).

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.
