Tony Cumberland, DL, Desert Mountain
This kid is a monster and could be one of the highest recruited 2026 prospects to come out of AZ when it’s all said and done. He’s a super physical player with a really good frame and build already at 6’5″ 250lbs. Constant problem and mismatch given his play strength combined with his size and athleticism, as he recently pulled in his 5th offer from Washington. He holds other offers from Wisconsin, Arizona, Oregon, and Arizona State.
Zeth Thues, ATH, Saguaro
Coach Dillingham wasted no time recruiting AZ when he got to ASU, and adding Coach Mohns to that staff is one of the many great things he’s done. Thues picked up his first offer from Arizona State in early January, as ASU hops on the talented 2026 playmaker. Thues is going to be a fun kid to follow, as he projects to blow up the state for the next 3 years.
Jalayne Miller Jalayne Miller 6'5" | 325 lbs | OL Desert Edge | 2026 State AZ , OL, Desert Edge
Miller entered the season with an offer from Georgia Tech, and recently picked up a UNLV offer during their swarm through the valley. He sizes up with an impressive build at 6’5″ 290lbs and moves lateral well within that frame. Excellent burst off the snap with the ability and understanding to get to the second level when needed. He flashes that mean streak you look for in a P5 OL and holds a tremendous upside moving forward.
Dayton Raiola, QB, Chandler
The little brother of standout Dylan Raiola Dylan Raiola 6'3" | 220 lbs | QB Buford | 2024 State GA was recently re-offered by the new staff at Nebraska. He was originally offered back in October before the coaching change, and it’s good to see coach Rhule extend that offer for the 2026 gunslinger. Raiola shows a smooth delivery and did a great job hitting throws with touch. Although Nebraska is his first offer, I wouldn’t be surprised to see more schools jump in the mix relatively soon for talented 2026 QB.
Case Vanden Bosch Case Vanden Bosch 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Brophy | 2026 State AZ , QB, Brophy
The 6’2″ 170lb QB picked up an Arizona State offer a few weeks back, and was also offered by Nebraksa back in October. His skillset is still very raw and he holds a ton of room to develop into a dangerous QB in the upcoming years. He does a good job of distinguishing when to use velocity vs touch and flashes the ability to throw receivers open. Even though he holds two offers, I don’t think people are talking about Vanden Bosch enough as he could really blossom into a special player.
Bastian Vanden Bosch Bastian Vanden Bosch 6'2" | 190 lbs | DL Brophy | 2026 State AZ , DE, Brophy
Another Vanden Bosch living up to that family name, as the twin brother of Case also recently picked up an Arizona State offer. Bastian also holds previous offers from Nebraska and Oregon. I expect Bastian to have a huge role next year on that Brophy defense, and a big learning opportunity to play alongside standout DE Mardale Rowe Mardale Rowe 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Brophy | 2024 State AZ .
