Centennial athlete Young offered by Air Force

UPDATED: 8/21/19

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 360 players from the Class of 2019 signed with schools since last December to advance their football careers, and receive an education.

Times for all college games are given in terms of Arizona time (MST).

This week, we have a trio of defending state champions with new offers.

Centennial has won back-to-back 5A titles the past two seasons. Ready to give it another run is Jaydin Young. The 6-foot, 180-pound safety and running back collected an offer from Air Force last Sunday. Young ranked second on the Coyotes in tackles (94) and rushing yards (552). At a UCLA camp in June, Young took part in DB drills during the one-on-ones, and then flipped around to receiver and ran some routes. This was his fourth offer from the Mountain West Conference. Air Force (5-7 last season) will have nine of its games televised this year. Five of the contests will be on the CBS Sports Network (including the road game at Navy on Oct. 5). Three will be on the ESPN Family of Networks (including the game at Boise State on Sept. 20). Another, a trip to Colorado on Sept. 14, will be shown on the Pac-12 Network. The opener for the Falcons will be at home in Colorado Springs on Aug. 31 against Colgate.

Keeping it in the Mountain West, Jaheim Brown-Taylor received an offer from San Jose State on Wednesday. The 5-9, 170-pound running back helped Chandler to its third straight 6A title last year. Brown-Taylor made the most of his 86 carries gaining 755 yards (8.8 yards per carry) and scoring eight touchdowns (nine total). Brown-Taylor steps into the role that DeCarlos Brooks was in last year. Chandler has had a 2,000-yard rusher for three straight seasons (TJ Green, Drake Anderson, and Brooks). San Jose State has broken ground on the Spartan Athletics Center, which will be located on the east side of CEFCU Stadium. There is also some new entertainment for fans with the creation of the Spartan Village Fan Zone. It will have a kids' area, video game truck, inflatables, and tailgating. SJSU (1-11 last season) will break that in next week when it hosts Northern Colorado on Thursday, Aug. 29. The Spartans will travel to Air Force on Friday, Sept. 27.

Collin Thompson is a three-sport athlete at Thatcher. The defensive end earned an offer from Bates College on Tuesday. The 6-2, 235-pound lineman maintains a 4.0 GPA and has also played basketball and soccer for the Eagles. Last fall, Thatcher went undefeated (14-0) and captured its third consecutive 2A crown. He was limited to just seven games after initially being ruled ineligible due to a prior-contact rule. An appeal gave Thompson eligibility in mid-October. Bates, located in Maine, is a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (Division III). The Bobcats (0-9 last season) kick off their season on Sept. 14 at Amherst.

This list shows four-year college offers received by seniors throughout the state. It's not limited to just 6A and 5A. It will be constantly updated as we approach the Early Signing Period from December 18-20. Those are the first days that high school seniors can sign a letter of intent to agree to attend an institution.

Verbal commitments are shown in bold.

Chandler Defensive Tackle (formerly at Mesa) Havea commits to BYU

UPDATED: 8/24/19

When Lingi Havea decided to transfer from Mesa to Chandler this offseason, it meant having to sit out the first five Friday nights of the schedule.

After his senior year, in which he hopes to help deliver the Wolves a fourth straight title, the offensive guard will be hanging up his cleats - but only temporarily.

The 6-1, 330-pound defensive tackle will be serving a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints before accepting a scholarship from BYU.

Havea, who received the offer from the Cougars just over a week ago, announced his commitment late Saturday night on social media.

"It's always been a dream of mine to play there," Havea said in a text message. "My family lives around there and I love Utah. Just being at their camps felt good."

He becomes the second Arizona senior to commit to Brigham Young, joining ALA-Queen Creek cornerback Dean Jones.

BYU starts its season this Thursday with a nationally televised game against in-state rival Utah. ESPN will have the broadcast at 7:15 p.m. for those watching at home. For those in Provo, a new game day experience called Cougar Canyon is opening. It will provide entertainment such as local food trucks, a large video board displaying BYU highlights, and even axe throwing. The traditional Cougar Walk will come through the Canyon allowing fans to greet the players and coaches as they make their way to the stadium. BYU, an FBS Independent, was 7-6 last season and won the Idaho Potato Bowl. In addition to Pac-12 member Utah, the Cougars will also host USC and Washington this year.
