Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. A total of 420 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 the Spring Evaluation Period (through May 25). During this time, college coaches can watch high school athletes compete in person and visit their schools. This coincides with when high schools schedule spring practices and showcase events with multiple teams present.

Notre Dame linebacker Cody Wells received his fourth offer last Sunday from UC Davis. He is a 6-3, 210-pounder who recorded 81 tackles for the Saints last season. Wells carries a 3.7 GPA at NDP and is a multi-sport athlete that also plays lacrosse. His versatility is on display in football as he plays on both sides of the ball. As a tight end, Wells caught 18 passes for 147 yards and three touchdowns. Last month, he went on an unofficial visit to Cal. This will be the first season for new head coach Tim Plough back at his alma mater at UC Davis. Most recently, he was an assistant coach not too far away at Cal. The Aggies are coming off a successful season where they went 7-4 and just missed out on a berth in the FCS playoffs. UC Davis was 5-3 in the Big Sky Conference and will ironically open the season on Aug. 31in Berkeley against Cal.

Dartmouth offered Casteel wide receiver Elijah Beamon on Monday. The 6-1, 180-pound player led the Colts in receiving yards (535) despite playing in just six games due to a midseason injury. Beamon will be playing his third year on varsity for Casteel this fall. The offer from Dartmouth is his fifth overall and first from an Ivy League school. Dartmouth wrapped up its spring season with its annual Spring Game in Hanover, N.H. last Saturday. It was a competitive affair using a modified scoring system that saw the Green and White teams end up tied at 40. Dartmouth went 6-4 overall and 5-2 in league play last season. The Big Green shared the Ivy title with Harvard and Yale.

Also earning offers from Dartmouth this week were Jax Markovich and Weston Hancock. Markovich is a 6-5, 230-pound tight end at Horizon. He caught 16 passes for 151 yards and had a pair of touchdowns for the Huskies last season. Markovich is a multi-sport athlete and played varsity basketball for HHS last winter. Hancock is a 6-5, 270-pound offensive tackle at Red Mountain. This spring, he went on unofficial visits to Wyoming and Northern Arizona. Hancock carries a 3.72 GPA and was a Second Team All-6A East Valley Region selection last season.

In addition to Dartmouth, Markovich also picked up a second Ivy League offer this week from Cornell. The Big Red played their spring game last Saturday in upstate New York. The crowd was treated to 11-on-11 football featuring special teams drills, backed-up offense, and red zone play. Cornell kicks its season off at Colgate (N.Y.) on Sept. 21. The Big Red (3-7 last season) will host Dartmouth on Nov. 16.

Queen Creek tight end Dylan Sims hauled in a new offer last Sunday when he got one from UCLA. The 6-6, 225-pounder caught 27 passes for 363 yards and scored four touchdowns. He also plays defensive end and made 26 tackles while recording 2.5 sacks. Sims is now up to 16 offers and has gone on one official visit (Oklahoma State). Schools that have been by the QCHS campus during the second week of spring ball include Wisconsin, Northwestern, Cornell, and Duke. UCLA had the first defensive player in the NFL Draft taken when Indianapolis selected defensive end Laiatu Latu 15th overall. The Bruins finished 8-5 last year and defeated Boise State in the LA Bowl at SoFi Stadium. UCLA kicks its season off on Aug. 31 in the Islands when the Bruins visit Hawaii. The first game for UCLA in its new Big Ten home will be Sept. 14 in the Rose Bowl against Indiana.

Coaches from the Army football team came to the state looking for future cadets and offered a few players from the East Valley. Bleu Dantzler, Gio Richardson, and Beckham Barney collected them from the Black Knights. Dantzler is a 6-3, 230-pound edge rusher at Basha. He is the team's biggest returner on the D-line and showed his quickness by posting 7.5 sacks last season. He will work on getting ready for his senior year by going against Samuel Garcia in practice every day. Richardson is a 5-11, 170-pound wide receiver, and a teammate of Dantzler at Basha. He ran track this spring and posted a personal-best of 10.76 in the 100 meters. Richardson led the Bears in all three receiving categories with 55 catches for 893 yards and 10 touchdowns. Barney is a 6-3, 205-pound linebacker at Mesa Mountain View. He led the Toros in tackles last season with 145 to go along with his four sacks. Barney made the First Team All-6A Fiesta Region team last season and now has four offers. The Army football team visited the White House this week to receive the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for last season. The Black Knights (6-6 last year) defeated service academies Air Force (23-3) and Navy (17-11) to claim the trophy outright for the fourth time in seven years. This year's rivalry games will take place on Nov. 2 in West Point against Air Force and Dec. 14 in the nation's capital versus Navy. The home field of the Washington Commanders will be the site for the regular season finale.

Northern Arizona made offers to a pair of players this week. Jorden Cunningham and Aidan Browder gained them from the Lumberjacks. Cunningham is a 6-5, 275-pound offensive tackle at Brophy. The NAU offer is his second from a Division I school. Last month, Cunningham went down to Tucson to check out Arizona's spring game. He has added 60 pounds to his frame in the past year. Browder is a 6-1, 210-pound linebacker at Chandler. He is the Wolves' leading returning tackler with 68 to go with a pair of fumble recoveries and 1.5 sacks. Browder ran track this spring and clocked an 11.27 in the 100 meters at the Rattler Booster meet in March. The offer from the Lumberjacks is his first. Northern Arizona hired a new director of player personnel and recruiting with Tim Roschmann taking the position. He held a similar job at New Mexico before helping coach at the high school level back in Arizona at Millennium and Liberty. The Lumberjacks begin their season on Aug. 31 at home in Flagstaff against Lincoln (CA). NAU finished 5-3 in the Big Sky Conference (FCS) last year and 5-6 overall. This will be the first year for new head coach Brian Wright, who was hired in December and most recently coached at Pittsburg State (Kans.).

Here's the rest of the offers since last Saturday (5/4):

Desert Mountain offensive tackle Bryce Hevesy received his first offer from Cornell.
Hamilton quarterback Rich Lucero Jr. received an offer from Augustana Univ. (S. Dak.).
Casa Grande offensive guard Lelend Cevedia received an offer from Black Hills State (S. Dak.).
ALA-Queen Creek wide receiver Kingston McCabe received his first offer from Black Hills State.
ALA-Queen Creek offensive guard Riggs Anderson received an offer from Black Hills State.
Horizon quarterback Jase Ashley received his first offer from Western New Mexico.
Cesar Chavez cornerback MJ Woodberry received his first offer from Minot State (N. Dak.).
Mountain Pointe cornerback Jacob Carter received his first offer from Minot State.
Marcos de Niza linebacker Jullien Jones received his first offer from Minot State.
Desert Edge defensive end Brian Sims received his first offer from Lake Forest (Ill.).
Horizon defensive tackle Jackson Murray received his first offer from Montana Tech.

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 on December 4-6. Those will be the first days that high school seniors can sign a letter of intent to agree to attend an institution.

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.
