Early Signing Day Recap Pt. III

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at pt. 3 of the early signing day recap: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='115484' first='Nijrell' last='Eason'], DB, Higley <strong>(UNLV)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eason was a highly decorated DB and a big time name throughout the state. The two time state champ chose UNLV over offers from Arizona, Louisville, Colorado State, and more. A twitched up DB with excellent instincts heads to Vegas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='169434' first='Plas' last='Johnson'], WR, Chaparral <strong>(Arizona State)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a big time signing for ASU, Johnson chooses to stay in the desert over 13 other offers. Coach Dillingham is a former Chaparral coach himself, and Johnson is the first scholarship player to land at ASU from Chap. Johnson looked like a complete receiver the past few years of his career with tons of tools as he has that ability to play both slot and outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/plasjohnson21/status/1735375248302981470?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/plasjohnson21/status/1735375248302981470?s=43&amp;t=CHwVAtJaf7AJX4h6oaOkoQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='115487' first='Jeremiah' last='Newcombe'], ATH, Casteel <strong>(Oklahoma)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Newcombe will head to Oklahoma after putting himself on the map for 4 years. Newcombe held over 20 offers and comes from an athletic background, so expect his maturity to be through the roof once he steps foot in Norman. A big signing for the Sooners as he is a great addition to that secondary. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='169425' first='Camden' last='Jury'], OL, Casteel <strong>(Utah State)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jury heads to Utah State and will look to provide some help along their OL. Jury is a big kid with a 6'6" 315lb frame and plays with a mean streak. Utah State was his lone offer, and I think it was a massive underrated land for USU as he possesses a ton of raw ability that could turn him in to a problem along the OL. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='663001' first='Gerayas' last='Grimes'], DB, Casteel <strong>(Fresno State)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fresno State lands the big hitter DB out of Casteel. Grimes looked like a well polished FS with a great football IQ, instincts, range, and strength at the POA. Grimes production, effort, and body language spoke volumes and I truly believe Fresno State just landed an absolute steal with kid. Fast, smart, physical, and strong. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1116341' first='Simon' last='Kelly'], DL, Casteel <strong>(Ave Maria)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yet another Casteel kid inking his NLI. Kelly heads to Ave Maria and I think Kelly was another under rated kid. He flashes violent hands with a quick initial ball get off, and always seemed to find ways to finesse and slip through gaps to blow up plays in the backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='115518' first='Enoch' last='Watson'], QB, ALA-Queen Creek<strong> (BYU)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watson inks his NLI to head up to BYU after playing a major role in making ALA-QC a contender this season. I first scouted and was impressed with Watson a few years back when they played against Prescott while he was at Coconino, and you could tell that he held numerous intangibles with tons of potential. He made the transfer down to ALA-QC, played against tougher competition, and got an opportunity in an offense that wasn't afraid to throw the rock around and earned himself a spot at BYU. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/byufootball/status/1737486779509362873?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/byufootball/status/1737486779509362873?s=43&amp;t=CHwVAtJaf7AJX4h6oaOkoQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='169402' first='Mardale' last='Rowe'], DL, Brophy <strong>(Fordham)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rowe made history at Fordham before he even gets on campus, as he is their highest rated recruit to ever sign. Rowe was a definite problem for OL's across the state throughout his high school career as he possesses a great initial ball get off both both finesse and power, giving himself a large arsenal of ways to disrupt the backfield. This is a great grab by Fordham and I expect to see Rowe on the field early and often. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='169417' first='Mateo' last='Rodriguez'], OL, Chandler<strong> (New Mexico State) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'5" 275ln menace along that Chandler OL signed with New Mexico State over other offers from Army, Bowling Green, Eastern Washington, and Idaho. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='927176' first='Kanyon' last='Floyd'], Punter, Horizon <strong>(Arizona State)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Floyd will head to ASU to punt for the Sun Devils in 2024 after proving himself as a top punter and kicker in AZ the past few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
