Early Signing Day Recap Pt. II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at part 2/6 of the early signing day signees: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='115486' first='Miles' last='Lockhart'], DB, Basha <strong>(Ohio State) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The most decorated DB in the state inks his NLI to Ohio State. Basha has had numerous high caliber players within the past years head to some big time programs, and Lockhart puts his name up there with the best to ever to do it at Basha. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='169427' first='Noah' last='Carter'], EDGE, Centennial <strong>(Washington)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carter established himself as one of the top players in the state and continued to show up and show out every Friday night. Excellent football IQ with tons of natural ability and athleticism, as he'll fit in right away in that Washington defense. Definitely was one of the biggest impacts on that elite Centennial defense for the past couple years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/3noahcarter/status/1737317043198923091?s=43u0026amp;t=CHwVAtJaf7AJX4h6oaOkoQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/3noahcarter/status/1737317043198923091?s=43&amp;t=CHwVAtJaf7AJX4h6oaOkoQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='115493' first='Javery' last='Mayberry'], ATH, Basha <strong>(Northern Arizona)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a huge grab for Northern Arizona. Mayberry possesses excellent athleticism all across the board and is dynamic enough to line up at WR, slot, or TE and become a mismatch. I wouldn't be shocked to see Mayberry start right away for the Lumberjacks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='279502' first='Thomas' last='Prassas'], DB, Basha <strong>(BYU)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prassas was a feared player for whoever took the field against them all year. he plays with a high motor and possesses excellent instincts and range with the ability to cover the back half sideline to sideline or fly up and provide immediate run support. Really impressive player that will head north up to BYU. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='662997' first='Carter' last='Lavrusky'], OL, Horizon <strong>(Kansas)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one is a big one for Kansas. Lavrusky held other offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado State, Cal, Oregon State, and San Diego state, yet chose the Jayhawks over those. Many thought he might stay home at either ASU or UofA, but the 6'6" 275lb OT will head to Kansas with a handful of other AZ high school athletes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='169401' first='Aundre' last='Gibson'], DB, Desert Edge <strong>(Kansas)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As part of a big group that inked their NLI's, one of the states top DB's makes it official to Kansas. Gibson was a standout DB for Desert Edge but also showed the ability to make something happen with the ball in his hands, as he is just that pure, talented all around football player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='662994' first='Jonathan' last='Kamara'], LB, Desert Edge <strong>(Kansas)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kamara will also head to Kansas, and he really jumped onto the scene quick here in the 2023 season. A super talented kid who just continues to improve and progress at rapid rate, and his potential is through the roof. He sizes up with a long frame at 6'4" 215lbs and holds excellent play speed and strength at the POC. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jkamara_28/status/1737911598898119047?s=43u0026amp;t=CHwVAtJaf7AJX4h6oaOkoQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jkamara_28/status/1737911598898119047?s=43&amp;t=CHwVAtJaf7AJX4h6oaOkoQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='364181' first='Deshawn' last='Warner'], EDGE, Desert Edge <strong>(Kansas)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The third Desert Edge defensive standout to land at Kansas. Warner is a nightmare off the edges given the combination of his quickness and play strength as he possesses a wide arsenal of pass rush moves that he'll continue to develop at a high level. A big time player and was 100% a kid that you had to highlight during film when playing against him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='364180' first='Kezion' last='Dia-Johnson'], WR, Desert Edge <strong>(Massachusetts) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A great land for UMass as Kia-Johnson can bring that explosive, big play ability down the field for the Minutemen. He's extremely fluid at the top of his routes to generate separation and hit that second gear. Big vertical threat as he did a great job at getting DB's to turn their hips and took advantage of that leverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='364216' first='Markhi' last='McKinnon'], RB, Desert Edge<strong> (Idaho)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An impressive RB who transferred over to desert Edge for his senior year, and no matter how much heat he took for transferring, it paid off. Idaho lands an every-down Back with workhorse ability that could make a big impact on their offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
