Adam Damante Adam Damante 6'1" | 175 lbs | QB American Leadership Academy (Gilbert North) | 2023 State AZ , QB, ALA-Gilbert North
The most dominant player in 4A will head up to Flagstaff after tormenting defenses all year. A true dual-threat with elite top end speed that can bring a ton to the table in terms of overall athleticism. It’ll be interesting to see if he’ll stay at QB or bounce around positions early in his college career.
Myseth Currie Myseth Currie 6'2" | 180 lbs | WR Cesar Chavez | 2023 State AZ , WR, Cesar Chavez
Currie absolutely exploded his senior season, more than doubling his numbers from the year before. He pulled in 55 receptions for over 1,000 yards and 15 TD’s as he more than earned his offer to NAU. An explosive kid that has a knack for getting open and could be a solid asset for that NAU offense.
Braeden Kaczmarek Braeden Kaczmarek 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL Red Mountain | 2023 State AZ , DL, Red Mountain
Kaczmarek chose NAU over other offers from Air Force and Idaho State. He’s a 6’3″ 250lb disruptive mismatch on the edges as he looked every part of a D1 prospect all season. He was a major factor on that Red Mountain squad from this past season, and will bing a ton of juice up to that defensive meeting room in Flagstaff.
Alex McLaughlin Alex McLaughlin 6'2" | 190 lbs | DB Hamilton | 2023 State AZ , DB, Hamilton
Another Hamilton kid signing to play at a division 1 program, Mclaughlin had a stellar carrer and a big senior season, racking up 107 tackles with 17 TFL’s, 8 sacks and 3 INT’s. He chose NAU over offers from Arizona, Washington State, Ohio, Colorado, Army, Illinois State, UMass, Navy, and New Mexico State.
Blaise Nelson Blaise Nelson 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Valley Vista | 2023 State AZ , WR, Valley Vista
Nelson is an excellent grab for NAU, as he’ll bring a ton of speed and big play ability to that offense. A frequent threat when he stretched the field vertically at the high school level, as he would just flat out burn DB’s with his elite speed. I think he could be a special teams demon early given that top end speed he possesses, and overall a very exciting steal for NAU.
Porter Reynolds Porter Reynolds 6'0" | 225 lbs | LB Queen Creek | 2023 State AZ , LB, Queen Creek
Reynolds is a tough, hard nosed, gritty player that plays with a mean streak. He had himself a promising senior season on both sides of the ball although he did his best work on D. 115 tackles, 7 TFL’s, 4 sacks and 1 INT later, he punches his ticket up to Flagstaff. Big time grab for NAU as they’re getting a menace on the defensive side of the ball.
