(MVP) Jack Bleier Jack Bleier 6'0" | 225 lbs | LB Basha | 2024 State AZ 6-0 220 LB 24′ Basha
Bleier moves extremely well for a big athlete. His ability to maneuver was on display, consistently making plays. He backed up the hype from his junior season, where he helped the Bears to a state title, making 100+ tackles, with 20 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks. Unreal numbers.
(MVP) Percy Knox III Percy Knox III 5'9" | 165 lbs | DB Basha | 2026 State AZ 5-8 155 CB 26′ Basha
Definitely the type of kid everyone wants to have on their team. Knox outplayed older more experienced competition with D1 offers to garner MVP accolades. Look for him to be a factor as a sophomore for the state champs.
(MVP) Tyler King Tyler King 6'1" | 250 lbs | DL Chandler | 2026 State AZ 6-1 240 DT/NT 26′ Chandler
Look for King to get in the mix and play early at one of Arizona’s top high schools. Considering what he did over the weekend, he will be tough to handle on the interior in the years ahead. With continued growth and progression, he will have opportunities collegiately.
Jaylen Jones Jaylen Jones 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB Hamilton | 2024 State AZ 6-0 195 DB 24′ Hamilton OFFERS: Indiana, UNLV, Louisville, Western Kentucky, N.Arizona + Ivy’s
The 3* Safety is one of the top overall defensive players in Arizona. His combination of physicality and smarts will have him listed among the top DB’s in the region. When looking at the PRZ event athletes, he had maybe the most notable presence among all in attendance.
James Giggey James Giggey 6'4" | 230 lbs | LB Bradshaw Mountain | 2024 State AZ 6-4 230 24′ Bradshaw Mountain
Definitely one of my favorite players at the event and a kid who I could have seen being the MVP. The big 6-4 backer was fluid, putting an exclamation point on his conference player of the year honors last season, after making 133 total tackles with 3 sacks.
Jaylyn Colter Jaylyn Colter 6'2" | 195 lbs | LB Mountain Pointe | 2026 State AZ 6-2 190 LB 26′ Chaparral
Get used to the name. Colter projects as one of the top recruits in the state of Arizona for the 2026 class. As a freshman he made 74 total tackles for a program which has been ranked nationally. It’s rare for any kid his age to play with the confidence and ability that he possesses.
Jamison Stamps Jamison Stamps 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Basha | 2024 State AZ 5-10 170 DB 24′ Basha
Stamps had one of the best camps of any player in attendance and was in the MVP conversation. His 50 total tackles and 16 PBU’s last year for the state champs was a preview of what he is going to do this off season. He will be listed among the top DB’s in AZ.
Darius Brown Darius Brown 5'11" | 185 lbs | WR Vista Grande | 2024 AZ 5-11 190 DB 24′ Vista Grande
I was personally impressed with Brown’s ability to always be in the right spot, consistently breaking up passes. He was one of the more overlooked athletes in my opinion over the weekend, and someone who could have a big senior year.
