DEFENSE
Paz St John Paz St John 6'3" | 260 lbs | DL Liberty | 2026 State AZ 6-3 260 26′ DL Liberty OFFERS: San Diego State
One of the fastest rising prospects in Arizona. St John made 44 tackles with 6 sacks as a sophomore for the nationally ranked state champs. He will likely be a double digit D1 offer guy.
Percy Knox III Percy Knox III 5'9" | 165 lbs | DB Basha | 2026 State AZ 5-9 165 26′ CB Basha
One of the top DB’s in Arizona. Knox was an MVP at last year’s PRZ event and followed that up with an honorable mention all-conference season at Basha. For the year he totaled 19 tackles, with 5 PBUs and 1 INT, starting in 8 games.
Eli Cramer-Cronin Eli Cramer-Cronin 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB Basha | 2026 State AZ 6-1 205 26′ LB Basha
Cramer-Cronin will rank as one of the top LB’s in AZ for his class. To say he stepped up as a sophomore for Basha would be a massive understatement, racking up 114 total tackles, with 11 TfL’s, and 3 sacks. You will hear the multi-sport standouts name often (baseball).
George Longoria Jr George Longoria Jr 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Mountain Pointe | 2025 AZ . 6-5 240 25′ DL Mountain Pointe
The big man had an outstanding junior year for a good Mountain Pointe team, finishing with 28 total tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 3 sacks. He will draw some significant collegiate interest at 6-5 240.
Tyler King Tyler King 6'1" | 250 lbs | DL Chandler | 2026 State AZ 6-1 255 26′ DT Chandler
King will project as an all-conference D lineman the next two seasons. He got in the mix as a sophomore for one of the state’s top programs in Chandler, making 12.5 tackles, with 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1 sack.
Xavier Sanders Xavier Sanders 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Pinnacle | 2025 AZ 6-1 175 25′ DB Pinnacle
One of the top DB’s returning in Arizona. Sanders has legit size and put up one of the most impressive stat lines among underclassmen in the state (33 tackles, 16 PBUs, 2 INTs, 3 TFL’s). He was also a standout for the AZ Dolphins 7v7 program.
Brody Michael Brody Michael 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB American Leadership Academy Queen Creek | 2025 State AZ 6-0 205 25′ LB ALA Queen Creek
You will hear a lot about this kid as a senior. He went off as a junior, earning 1st team all-region honors with 109 total tackles, 12 tfl’s, and 3 INTs. He’s a very athletic 6-0 205.
EJ Washington EJ Washington 6'0" | 270 lbs | DL Basha | 2026 State AZ 6-0 275 26′ DT Basha
Washington is a beast on the interior at 6-0 275 pounds. He was one of the more influential sophomores at Basha, making 35 total tackles with 2 tackles for loss on the year. He will project as a 1st team all-region kid.
Landyn Deboard Landyn Deboard 5'8" | 125 lbs | DB Estrella Foothills | 2025 State AZ 5-8 130 25′ CB Estrella Foothills
Watch the film and you will see a super athletic DB who plays much bigger than he is. DeBoard racked up 1st team all-region honors, helping his team to the Copper Sky Championship, and finishing with 30+ tackles, 3 TFL’s, and multiple INTs.
Dominic Girard Dominic Girard 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Mountain View | 2025 State AZ 5-10 170 25′ DB Mountain View
Definitely a kid who could go be a good collegiate athlete at some level. The 2x all region DB made 47 tackles, with 12 tackles for loss, and 2 INTs on the year.
Parker Kaczmarek
Parker
Kaczmarek
5'11"
Mesquite | 2026
AZ
5-11 185 26′ WLB/LB Mesquite
Kaczmarek played a key role at LB as a sophomore for a decent Mesquite program which finished 5-5. On the year he made 25 total tackles, with 2 TFLs. Look for him to also get in the mix running the ball.
Tiki Teeples Tiki Teeples 6'3" Canyon View | 2027 AZ 6-3 225 27′ DE Canyon View
There is still a lot yet to be determined here, but Teeples has a huge upside as a 6-3 225-pound freshman. Look for him to potentially play early and often at Canyon View.
Mason Cantu Mason Cantu 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Basha | 2026 AZ 6-0 170 26′ FS Basha
There are still a lot of unknowns here, but Cantu is a good-looking sophomore athlete (baseball), who should play a role for a top Basha program in the years ahead.
Tyler Overstreet Tyler Overstreet 6'3" | 175 lbs | TE Saguaro | 2027 AZ 6-3 170 27′ LB Saguaro
Another kid who played a limited role at the varsity level as a freshman. Overstreet is long at 6-3 with the potential of putting on some significant size on his frame.
