UTEP offers Hamilton RB Brown
UPDATED: 5/30/25
Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 380 players from the Class of 2025 have signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.
Times for all future games are in Arizona time.
Hamilton running back Jacob Brown received his fourth overall offer, and third from an FBS school, on Wednesday from UTEP. He is 5-11, 205 pounds, and rushed for 980 yards and eight touchdowns in his first season with the Huskies. Brown was named First Team All-6A Premier Region and is talented not only running the ball, but also catching it (25 receptions last season), and blocking for his teammates. Last month, he went on an unofficial visit to New Mexico. Prior to his junior year, Brown played at Saguaro. UTEP will play in five nationally-televised games this season, three of them Conference USA games. The first of those is the opener on Aug. 30 at Utah State (4:30 p.m. CBS Sports Network).

Basha QB Brodie Vehrs commits to Northern Arizona Lumberjacks
UPDATED: 5/30/25
On Tuesday, the second quarterback from a talented 2026 class went off the board as Brodie Vehrs made his college decision.
The 6-foot, 195-pound signal caller for Basha will be staying in-state and play for Northern Arizona. It was the staff and the culture that made the difference for Vehrs.
“Relationships!,” Vehrs said about the main reason he committed to NAU in a text message. “It stood out how much they cared about my family and the effort they put into me as a person.”
After receiving his offer from the Lumberjacks in February, Vehrs went on an unofficial visit to the Flagstaff campus in March. It was an Arizona HS alum on the NAU coaching staff - Tim Roschman - that helped make the difference. Arizona guys recruiting Arizona guys.
Arizona Varsity’s Adam Beadle interviewed Vehrs and documented his commitment here.
A starter for the first time for the Bears, following in the footsteps of Demond Williams Jr., Vehrs threw for 2,915 yards and had 27 touchdown passes with just two interceptions. He completed 72 percent of his passes.
In addition to the stats, Vehrs led Basha to the Open Division championship game last season. His sophomore year (2023), he got reps on the JV team and went undefeated (8-0) averaging 35 points per game.
NAU was the first Division I school to offer Vehrs. He is the first in-state player to commit to the Lumberjacks (and third overall).
In the Hero Sports preseason media poll, Northern Arizona is ranked No. 19. The Lumberjacks went 8-5 in 2024 and posted their highest win total in 12 years. NAU went undefeated at home (5-0) for just the third time in program history and made the FCS Playoffs. This season kicks off with a game in Tempe against Arizona State on Aug. 30.
