Arizona Twitter Spotlights Of The Week
Each week, we want to give athletes who are very active and persistent on twitter to get recruited some recognition. These are the guys that are actively trying to get recruited, and are doing their part to get a shot at the next level. Here are the offensive and defensive spotlights of the week:
<span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Offensive Spotlight<img class="alignright wp-image-24527" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/06/Generic-Featured-Image-2-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="358" height="223" /></strong></span>

Hill sizes up with a big, strong frame and has the nickname "Rhino" from his teammates. He had a solid junior campaign for Deer Valley by rushing for 591 yards while adding another 254 yards receiving with 15 total TD’s. H hits the hole with a purpose maintaining solid ball security. He is physical at the point of contact and has a nose for the endzone, as he is nearly unstoppable around the goal line. Hill displays good balance all around and does an excellent job staying up after initial contact. He has deceptive speed for his size as well, as he’s shown the ability to finish off big runs. Despite his build, he’s shown the ability to get shifty in space and utilize a nice spin move or juke to make opponents miss. He has solid lateral mobility as he’s explosive out of his cut to get upfield. He can run routes out of the backfield or the slot, and hauled in some impressive catches with body control this past season. He’s a 3.9 GPA kid and should draw in some big time attention relatively soon, as he's drawn interest from Sioux Falls.

<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Defensive Spotlight</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Dematris Azcueta</strong>, <em>CB, 5'9" 160lbs, Casa Grande Union HS (C/O '22)<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-78555" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/12/IMG_4425-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Azcueta was a very underrated DB this season, as he was clutch for the Casa Grande secondary. He did an excellent job in man coverage and locked up some speedy receivers this past season. He displayed excellent recovery speed and did a great job tracking the ball and punching through the hands of receivers to force PBU's. Solid ball skills all around as he also played WR, and was frequently punching or ripping through the ball. He reads the QB's eyes very well and does a good job baiting QB's into throws to use his speed to break up passes. Azcueta closes well as a tackler and was effective in run support for Casa Grande. Low at the point of contact and will most likely serve an even bigger role next season. He is a solid all around athlete and was also a KR/PR for Casa Grande. Speedy kid with big potential going forward. He's drawn interest from Sioux Falls, Southwest Minnesota State, and Iowa Wesleyan.</p>
