Lewis is an impressive natural athlete that can impact the game in all three phases and the top ranked 2026 ATH in the state. A swiss army knife for Casteel that can line up anywhere on the field including both DB spots, WR, RB, and returner. Flashes great all-around speed. Makes quick explosive cuts in the short area that are sudden with great burst/acceleration out, also has a strong and sustained second gear. Shows advanced instincts on both sides of the ball in coverage and as a ball carrier. He sees the field extremely well and understands spatial awareness to put himself in position to be a playmaker. Plus ball skills, he attacks the ball in the air with good body control and coordination at the catch point. He’s already got a strong and well-built frame at 5’11” 180 lbs. that he will continue to build on as he develops. Kicked off his recruiting with three P5 offers in the spring from Arizona State, Washington State, and Iowa State and will for sure add more as he progresses.
3 Offers: Arizona State, Washington State, Iowa State

Two way athlete with ideal size, length, and growth potential for multiple positions at the major D1 level. At 6’4” 185 lbs. he’s got great speed and natural ability. Shows he can be effective lining up at OLB, WR, or Safety. At LB he’s flashes plus change of direction and short area burst to redirect and close space on the ball carrier. He can set the edge, rush the passer, or drop back into coverage. Playing WR he’s got good ball skills and is explosive after the catch using his speed to turn short receptions into long gains. He’s physical and aggressive on both sides of the ball while bringing strong contact at the POA. Holds three offers but is still raw and has great upside and potential going forward.
3 Offers: Arizona Christian, Northern Arizona, Arizona State

Basketball player turned football player with rare size and athleticism at 6’6” 230 lbs. Possesses all the physical traits colleges look for in a TE with his combination of length, mobility, and ball skills. Great redzone and jump ball threat with his leaping and high point ability (can also dunk a basketball). Understands how to use his size/body to box out defenders and create a throwing lane while out competing defenders at the catch point. After the catch, he flashes deceptive speed with plus lateral agility to cut around defenders and find space. He runs hard and is strong at the POA making him a tough tackle for any high school level defender. A matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. Offered by Arizona State and Oregon thus far but will see his recruiting stock sky rocket this off season.
2 Offers: Arizona State, Oregon

Armstrong is an explosive vertical threat and one of the top ranked 2026 receivers in the state. At 6’2” 170 lbs. he’s already got great length with the growth potential to add weight as he matures. He runs well with a strong drive phase off the LOS and the long speed to slip past coverage and stretch the field. Possesses advanced coordination and ball judgement skills to track and adjust to ball flight. Does a great job establishing positioning and seeing the ball into his hands to make highlight reel catches down field. Length gives him tremendous catch radius that extends outside his framework. Picked up an early offer from UNLV and will no doubt add more as he’s able to showcase his ability.
1 Offer: UNLV

Wade comes in as the second ranked LB in the 2026 class while having a breakout sophomore season racking up 76 total tackles, 8 TFL, and 6.5 sacks. At 6’2” 220 lbs. he’s a violent finisher at the POA flying up to attack ball carriers with good leverage and leg drive. He’s patient with his reads but is quick to trigger and fill against the run taking good angles of attack to close space. Plays well with his eyes to diagnose run/pass and locate the ball. Like his ability to use his hands to take on blockers and then shed to free himself up to make a tackle. Has been a key contributor on defense in Red Mountain’s playoff run to the state championship. No offers yet but has the size and ability to see increased recruiting attention this off season.
