Fisher Camac Fisher Camac 6'7" | 210 lbs | DL Highland | 2022 State AZ , DL, Highland
Ideal length and frame at 6’7” 230 lbs. with great growth potential to add weight as he matures. He’s a plus athlete that shows good coordination and speed and has improved his lateral mobility. Has strong and quick hands to effectively keep blockers off of him and away from his body. Has shown great year over year improvement in his fundamentals and technique especially in his pad level/leverage and his command of different DL moves to shed blockers while locating the ball carrier. Committed to UNLV last month and it will be interesting to watch how he develops and progresses in their system.
Excited to announce that I have committed to the University of Nevada Las Vegas @coacharroyo @CoachKThompson @unlvfootball @HighlandHawksFB thankful for this opportunity and everyone who has helped me get to where I am today!! pic.twitter.com/w3XMnN669y

Cruz Rushing Cruz Rushing 6'2" | 185 lbs | DB Salpointe Catholic | 2022 State AZ , DB, Salpointe Catholic
Rushing is one of the most under recruited 2022 prospects in the state with his combination of size, speed, and athleticism. Has the length and frame colleges look for in a DB prospect at 6’2” 190 lbs. with over a 78 inch wingspan. He’s fluid in the hips out of his transition and possesses the top end track speed to run with receivers all over the field (Competes in the 100m, 200m, and 400m). He’s smart and instinctual in coverage playing well with his eyes to diagnose plays quickly and put himself in good position to be a difference maker. With his physical tools, it’s surprising no one has offered but he has D1 talent and ability.
Mid Season highlights. After 5 games, my stats are: 28 tackles, 17 solos, and 1 sack. https://t.co/2673rJ4e29@bangulo @JordyHamm @PrepRedzoneAZ @JReyes_NP @BuckeyeScoop @GametimeRC @CoachEricRogers

Dawson Hubbard Dawson Hubbard 6'1" | 250 lbs | DL Hamilton | 2022 State AZ , DL, Hamilton
Hubbard’s an impressive interior defensive lineman with a compact 6’0” 255 lb. frame and a strong lower half. Started HS in Illinois before transferring to Hamilton where he has been a force on the DL. He’s an extremely tough block with his initial quickness and explosion off the ball. He’s quick to gain penetration using that first step to get positional leverage and make plays at or behind the LOS. He’s violent and efficient with his hands evident by his ability to disengage and shed blockers to free himself up and locate the ball carrier. Holds offers from Drake and Butler and is a weapon to the Hamilton defense.
After a great talk with coach @WillieCashmore I’m very excited to say that I’ve received my first D1 offer to continue my academic and athletic career at Drake University!! @tstepsis @michaelzdebski @CoachPTBarrett @Husky_Football7 pic.twitter.com/8uxfvEjDbQ

Amar Elmore Amar Elmore 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL Chandler | 2022 State AZ , DL, Chandler
Big, sturdy frame with length that is well put together at 6’2” 245 lbs. and a 75 inch wingspan. He’s a plus athlete at his size that shows good strength and bend coming off the edge. He’s powerful at the POA using great leverage and leg drive to get a push and fight through contact. Does a great job using his hands to extend and maintain separation to keep blockers off him and out of his body so he can separate and pursue. He’s quick to recognize run/pass and locate the ball carrier. He’s a high academic prospect that’s been offered by Dartmouth and Benedictine but has the potential and upside to add more.
Games 1-5 Highlights
2.5 sacks, 26 tackles, 6 tfl’s, 4 hurries https://t.co/azvOeLdqoM— Mar Elmore (@AmarElmore) October 3, 2021
Andy Sanchez Andy Sanchez 6'1" | 270 lbs | DL Mountain Ridge | 2022 State AZ , DL, Mountain Ridge
Sanchez is 6’3” 270 lbs. with great versatility to play multiple positions on either side of the line. He’s athletic with good body control and mobility at his size. Racks up TFL’s and sacks with a quick and aggressive first step off the ball. He’s powerful at the POA with the ability to stack and neutralize blocks or overpower opponents given his natural upper and lower body strength. Shows violent hands with good placement and ability to quickly re-locate and gain leverage on his opponent. Good tackler that explodes through the POA and delivers strong contact. Offered by Drake so far he has a good foundational skill to continue to build on.

Thomas DeChesaro Thomas DeChesaro 5'10" | 185 lbs | DB Saguaro | 2022 State AZ , DB, Saguaro
Extremely versatile and rangy Safety prospect that can line up all over the field and be a playmaker. Flashes great instincts, anticipation, and a quick trigger to diagnose run/pass and react. He’s a savvy athlete with good speed and short area burst to close space and run with receivers all over the field. Has the ability/skill to be a deep cover safety or come down in the box to cover the slot or help in run support. Love his route recognition and ball skills in coverage. Does a great job reading the QB’s eyes and is quick to change directions and break on the ball. In run support, he’s physical and is a strong one on one open field tackler. He’s a leader on the Saguaro defense and possesses great intangibles.
