Justice Spann Justice Spann 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR Chandler | 2024 State AZ , WR, Chandler
The 6’3” 180 lb. receiver out of Chandler already checks a lot of boxes in terms of physical skillset for the college level. He possesses a great combination of size, length, speed, and athleticism. Flashes strong and confident hands, he does a good job extending out and catching everything away from his body. Good vertical and redzone threat that can use his length and leaping ability to come down with 50/50 balls. Also a physical and willing blocker on the outside. Didn’t get a ton of opportunity as a sophomore but showed good potential and upside.

Kendre Pride Kendre Pride 6'2" | 180 lbs | RB Carl Hayden | 2024 State AZ , RB, Carl Hayden
In just seven games this season, Pride ran for over 1,000 yards and 16 touchdowns on just 99 carries. He’s an explosive athlete with good short area quickness and top end/breakaway speed. Strong downhill runner that makes one cut then gets north/south. Good field vision and elusiveness to make defenders miss in the open field. Good fluidity in his stride and his cuts, flashing plus start/stop quickness and acceleration out of his breaks. Possesses a great frame and skill set to build on at 6’2” 180 lbs. that could transition well to multiple positions at the college level.
I’m so blessed to receive my first Division 1 offer from @MSUBearsFB! Thank you @CoachWheat6 for this amazing opportunity! @CoachPerrone @CHFalconsFB @sjarenas_ @MArenasWing @gridironarizona #HBCU #FalconPride pic.twitter.com/PIOkgX2hyz

Adam Mohammed Adam Mohammed 6'0" | 180 lbs | RB Apollo | 2024 State AZ , RB, Apollo
Mohammed rushed for over 100 yards in every game this season finishing with 1,565 yards and 24 touchdowns. He’s an outstanding athlete and a big play threat that can score any time he touches the ball. Flashes great natural instincts and anticipation as a ball carrier to read his blocks, see the open running lane, and hit the hole. Runs with good balance and leverage to break through contact and pick up tough yardage between the tackles. He’s shifty in the open field using his change-of-direction, lateral agility, and burst out of his cuts to make defenders miss. He’ll be an explosive weapon in the Apollo offense over the next several seasons.

Rowan McKenzie Rowan McKenzie 6'2" | 170 lbs | QB Boulder Creek | 2024 AZ , QB, Boulder Creek
McKenzie is a promising young QB with a live arm. He possesses a good frame and length to build on at 6’2” 170 lbs. Flashes natural arm strength with the ability to place the ball downfield with touch or fit it in a tight window with velocity. Good mechanics and footwork in the pocket, he stands tall with a well-balanced platform as he scans the field for an open target. Smooth over the top delivery that is quick and compact through the release. He’s a functional athlete that can escape pressure and make plays with his legs when he needs too. Shows a good ability to throw on the run to either direction. Love his talent and upside as he continues to develop and mature.

Daniel Dippre Daniel Dippre 5'10" | 155 lbs | WR San Tan Charter | 2024 State AZ , WR, San Tan Charter
Dippre had a monster statistical season as a sophomore racking up over 1,000 yards receiving and scoring a TD in every game except one while averaging almost 14 yards per reception. Strong combination of natural ability and technique as a pass catcher and route runner. He comes hard out of his stance with a great drive phase that quickly breaks DB cushion and creates positional leverage. He’s smooth in and out of his breaks showing good acceleration to create separation. Love his body control and ability to adjust to the ball in the air, makes a ton of acrobatic and contested catches at all three levels. He’s one of the top 2024 receivers in the state.
Congrats to the state’s leading receiver and the regular season leader for receptions and receiving yards for all of 2A. Super sophomore @DanielDippre !!#daniel1K pic.twitter.com/kN4hZGRaPl

Braesen Leon Braesen Leon 6'0" | 165 lbs | QB Marcos De Niza | 2024 State AZ , QB, Marcos De Niza
Braesen is a plus athlete with a great ability to improvise and create. He’s a strong armed QB with a quick and snappy release to get good zip on the ball at the short and intermediate levels. Shows he can mix up velocities and throw with touch when needed to fit it in the second window or over the top of a defender. Good ability to manipulate the pocket and feel pressure while keeping his eyes down field. He’s smooth in his drop back and shows he can land and drive off the back foot to get the ball out quick and on time. Flashes good timing and anticipation with his receivers. Good tools and athleticism to build on as he gains more experience.
