UPDATED: 5/2/25

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 360 players from the Class of 2025 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Earning his first offer last week was Brady Grizzell. The Canyon View cornerback secured it from Southwest Minnesota State. Grizzell, who is 6-2, and 190 pounds, was a Second Team All-5A Desert West Region selection as the Defensive Utility/Flex Player. Last season, he played in nine games and had 32 tackles (11 solo), while also picking off a pass in a win over Buckeye. Grizzell has stellar grades with a 4.80 GPA. He recently went on a visiting tour and checked out Sioux Falls (S. Dak.), Southern Oregon, and Southwest Minnesota State. SMSU plays in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (Div. II). This year’s 11-game schedule once again features 10 conference games. It will start on Sept. 6 with a home game against MSU-Moorhead in the annual Ag Bowl. The Mustangs are looking to rebound after an 0-11 season in 2024.

The past two seasons, Aveon Williams has put up numbers on both the offensive (TE) and defensive (DE) side of the ledger. That certainly helps out his recruiting prospects as schools can scope him out for whichever side they see fit. Last week, the 6-6, 250-pound athlete received an offer from Kansas State. The Wildcats are recruiting him as a defensive end. Williams has eight sacks over the past two seasons and 16.5 tackles for a loss for Casa Grande. On offense, he had 36 catches for 771 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Cougars last year. Williams is big, athletic, and versatile. He even returned a few kickoffs in a game and also played varsity basketball for CGUHS as a freshman. Kansas State has now had 10 players drafted by the NFL over the last three seasons. Cornerback Jacob Parrish was taken the highest of the three Wildcats this year as Tampa Bay selected him in the third round last week. K-State finished 9-4 after defeating Rutgers, 44-41 in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl at Chase Field in Phoenix last December. The Wildcats will return to the state on Sept. 12 for a Friday night game in Tucson against Arizona.

Hamilton linebacker Beau Jandreau hauled in a new offer on Tuesday when he got one from Tennessee. The 6-1, 215-pounder had 89 tackles for the Huskies last year along with three sacks. Last weekend, Jandreau went on an unofficial visit to USC. He now holds 22 offers and has lined up official visits over the next two months to Oregon State, Washington, USC, Oregon, and Oklahoma. Jandreau ran a laser-timed 4.5 in the 40 earlier this year. The offer from Tennessee is his third from an SEC school. Tennessee has sold out its season tickets for this year before summer for the third straight year. That’s 70,500 guaranteed at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville (capacity 101,915) with the rest coming via single-game tickets. Since the start of the 2022 season, the Vols are 20-1 at home. The home opener will fall on Sept. 6 this year against East Tennessee State. That’s a week after the Volunteers begin with a neutral-site game against Syracuse in Atlanta. UT went 10-3 last season (6-2 SEC) and made the College Football Playoff.

Here’s the rest of the offers over the past 10 days (since April 29):

Brophy wide receiver Daylen Sharper received offers from South Florida and Purdue.

Mountain Pointe offensive tackle Aaron Thomas received offers from Florida State and UCLA.

Liberty running back Thomas Fo’ilefutu received an offer from Idaho State.

Copper Canyon offensive guard Jesus Yepiz received his first offer from Bethany College (Kans.).

Copper Canyon defensive end Javier Castro received his first offer from Bethany College (Kans.).

Basha cornerback Xavier Rivera-Rogers received an offer from Idaho.

Red Mountain linebacker Jameson Wade received an offer from Dartmouth (N.H.).

Tonopah Valley defensive end Corey Webb Jr. received his first offers from Idaho, Northern Arizona, Montana, and Eastern Washington.

Saguaro cornerback Kydel Stone received an offer from New Mexico.

Brophy linebacker Bastian Vanden Bosch received an offer from New Mexico.

Williams Field offensive tackle Malachi Joyner received an offer from New Mexico.

Buena linebacker Cooper Kraus received his first offer from Arizona Christian.

Liberty linebacker Cannon Garday received offers from Fordham (N.Y.) and Lafayette (Pa.).

Hamilton offensive tackle Rex Waterman received an offer from Kansas State.

Tonopah Valley linebacker Robert Escarcega IV received his first offer from Arizona Christian.

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 3-5. Those will be the first days that high school seniors can sign a letter of intent to agree to attend an institution.

UPDATED: 4/25/25

Air Force had three Arizona players sign there in the ‘25 class and the Falcons got their first commitment for this cycle on Tuesday.

O’Connor safety Colton Lauffer will head to the Academy after his senior year. The 6-1, 190-pounder was a First Team All-6A Desert Valley Region selection after having 40 tackles and five pass breakups. Air Force was the first school to offer Lauffer in March.

“Because of the environment and the program, which was like a brotherhood,” Lauffer said of why he chose Air Force in a text messsage. “They made me feel so welcome and it feels like the coaches have a special bond with each player.”

Lauffer said he also made this decision based on the career he wants to have after football, which is to be a pilot.

After receiving his offer from the Falcons in March, Lauffer attended Junior Day in Colorado Springs. He began his high school career at Liberty before transferring to O’Connor for his senior season.

Air Force will start its 2025 campaign in Falcon Stadium on Aug. 30 against Bucknell (Pa.). The service academy games will be Oct. 4 at Navy and Nov. 1 (home vs. Army). The Falcons play in the Mountain West Conference and finished 5-7 last year.
