Continue ReadingThe early signing period and traditional signing day for the 2021 class have passed. But there’s still plenty of talent in the state of New Mexico searching for an opportunity to play college football, regardless of level. One of the state’s top 2021 prospects came off the board a couple of days ago when Artesia WR Braxton McDonald Braxton McDonald 5'10" | WR Artesia | 2021 State NM accepted a PWO offer from New Mexico State. Here are our top 10 uncommitted 2021 prospects:
Jeff Davison Jeff Davison 5'11" | 185 lbs | QB Cleveland | 2021 State NM , Cleveland: Probably the most underappreciated player in the state, Davison’s recruitment may have changed for the better two days ago when he was offered a PWO opportunity by New Mexico State. After leading the Storm to the 2019 Class 6A title, Davison threw for 851 yards and 13 touchdowns in four games this spring.
Sean Hays Sean Hays 6'0" | 205 lbs | RB Alamogordo | 2021 State NM , Alamogordo: Who’s the state’s second best 2021 running back behind UNM-bound Jeston Webskowski Jeston Webskowski 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB Clovis | 2021 State NM ? You can make the argument it’s Hays, who rushed for 2,428 yards and 21 touchdowns in his final 15 career games for the Tigers. Hays certainly possesses the size (6-0, 210 pounds) to play at the next level.
Joseph Herrera, Volcano Vista: After patiently waiting his turn to play quarterback, Herrera quickly shifted into the highest gear, throwing for a staggering 1,080 yards and 12 touchdowns in just 3 games. He has some JUCO offers along with Arizona Christian University, Culver-Stockton and Macalester College.
Isaac Gutierrez Isaac Gutierrez 5'10" | WR Centennial | 2021 State NM , Centennial: Incredibly, one of the top 2021 wide receivers in the state has yet to be offered by anybody. Gutierrez, though, demonstrated this spring that he’s one of the top players at his position. JUCO may be his best option right now. Eventually, a four-year school at the Div. I or II level is going to get a heckuva player.
Tyler Jenson, Cleveland: On a roster filled with stars, Jensen stood out this spring with his ability to rush the football. He had 162 rushing yards in the win over Centennial at Socorro. He holds offers from the University of Puget Sound and Chapman College. Has Div. I or II talent.
Elijah Spaulding, Cibola: Spaulding and his Cougar teammates only played two games, but he made the most of his opportunity with 20 receptions for 206 yards and 3 touchdowns. Still waiting for his first offer.
Tommy Lujan Tommy Lujan 5'11" | DB Rio Rancho | 2021 State NM , Rio Rancho: Emerged this season as one of the top ball hawking defenders in the state. He was offered by Eastern New Mexico. However, his best option could come as a walk-on at New Mexico, where he could reunite with former Rams head coach David Howes.
Connor Baca, Eldorado: Baca was an integral part of Eldorado’s offense this spring, rushing for 219 yards in three games. He’s been offered by Whittier College, Elmhurst College, University of La Verne and Muskingum University. He told Prep Redzone New Mexico that he’s engaged in discussions with several schools. Stay tuned.
Terrell Hocker, Grants: Hocker emerged as one of the state’s top offensive weapons in the spring for the Class 4A Pirates, rushing for 731 yards and 8 touchdowns on 48 carries. That’s an average of 15.23 yards per attempt. Wow. But he’s still looking for a place to play at the next level.
Simon Gay, Volcano Vista: Gay is a 6-foot-6, 248-pound tight end with good hands and mobility (4.6 in 40). Right now, he has offers from Concordia University, Hamline University, Detroit Christian and some JUCOs. Under-recruited? Definitely.
Caleb Carrillo Caleb Carrillo 5'8" | 160 lbs | QB Farmington | 2021 State NM , Farmington: If somebody could be given the title of ’Class 5A Player of the Year,’ Carrillo would likely be the guy. He threw for nearly 1,200 yards and 21 touchdowns in five games for the Scorpions, which beat Mayfield in the 5A ’Bowl Game’ at UNM Stadium.
Trevon Dennard Trevon Dennard 6'3" | WR Cleveland | 2021 State NM , Cleveland: One of the Storm’s best wide receivers has offers from Culver-Stockton, Ottawa University and a JUCO program in Arizona while Colorado-Pueblo has expressed interest.
Football has made a huge impact on my life. More importantly being apart of the Cleveland storm has molded me to be the best young man I could be at all times. I would just like to thank all my coaches and family’s for being there every step of the way. #1out #LLJB pic.twitter.com/F8Tf1hy6ua
