<p>Here's a look at some notable transfers around AZ: <img class="wp-image-860295" style="width: 250px" src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/PRZGeneric-1.jpg" alt=""></p>

<p><strong>Dylan Raiola</strong>, <strong><em>QB 2024</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The highest regarded prospect is out after 1 season and 2 schools in AZ. Raiola transferred into Chandler for the 2022 season from Burleson High School in Texas, and then transferred to Pinnacle High School from Chandler during the spring semester. Raiola has now moved and transferred to powerhouse Buford High School in Georgia. </p>

<p>Grand had transferred into Saguaro from Orange High school in California where he made a name for himself in 2022. It was just announced that Grand has left the Saguaro program and will be playing elsewhere, but the school has yet to be announced. Grand is a special player with a ton of upside given his dual threat ability, as he holds around 14 offers thus far. <img class="wp-image-219331" style="width: 275px" src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/10/IMG_6622-rotated.jpg" alt=""></p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dedmon had been a big piece of that Basha offense, but will now play his senior season at Saguaro. Dedmon is twitched up kid with excellent burst and COD with the ability to get in and out of breaks. He currently holds 5 offers as he heads into his senior campaign, and given his skillset and opportunity, I wouldn't be surprised to see some more offers come in throughout his senior season. </p>

<p>Savoie proved himself as one of the best ball carriers in 4A last season at Apache Junction, but will now play his senior year at 6A Red Mountain. Really like Savoie's demeanor when he's on the field as I truly believe the kid is extremely under recruited. Barring he gets the opportunity to showcase what he can do at the 6A level against tougher competition, I could definitely see some division 1 programs come knocking on the door for him. </p>

<p>Johnson transfers from Tempe High to Saguaro, and has been putting in the work to prove that he can compete at the highest level in Arizona. Excellent two way player as he plays with a chip on his shoulder and is a definite competitor. It'll be interesting to see how he'll be utilized at Saguaro, as his ability to play and contribute on both sides of the ball provides him with a major upside. Overall a versatile kid with solid potential moving forward. </p>
