PRZ StockUpShowcase- AZ Top Performers DEFENSE

The PRZ Stock up Showcase at ACU featured some of the state's best, along with some other young talent who you may not know about yet. It was an impressive mix of athletes with some high-profile schools represented. Have a look as we break down the top offensive & defensive performers from the event.         DEFENSE         [player_tooltip player_id='992813' first='Paz' last='St John'] 6-3 260 26' DL Liberty     Watching this kid for yourself you see why he will be a multi offer D1 athlete. He took it to multiple 6-6 talented O lineman who will rank among the state's best. St John was a camp MVP and and definitely deserving of the accolades.    [player_tooltip player_id='1145506' first='Brody' last='Michael'] 6-0 205 25' LB ALA Queen Creek    Hands down one of the most impressive kids at the entire camp. Michael impressed at LB, running one of the fastest 40's (4.56) and shuttle times (4.31) among all athletes. He earned 1st team all-region honors with 100+ tackles this past season.    [player_tooltip player_id='410430' first='Percy' last='Knox III'] 5-9 165 26' CB Basha   We've talked a lot about Knox with him ranking among the top DB's in AZ for the 2026 class. Fundamentally he has his act together, to go with some impressive overall testing times. He ended up with the best L-Drill time (6.94) to go with his 4.5 40-yard dash.   [player_tooltip player_id='401160' first='Eli' last='Cramer-Cronin'] 6-1 205 26' LB Basha     One of Arizona's breakout performers last season, making 100+ tackles. He was a legit presence at LB all day, looking physically elite and moving with a special type of fluidity.    [player_tooltip player_id='1258797' first='Michael' last='Cummings'] 6-0 215 25' LB O'Connor   Cummings looked legit. From a testing standpoint there were few who were better, with a camp leading 9-11' Broad Jump and 4.47 40-yard dash. He will have something to prove this season at O'Connor.    [player_tooltip player_id='1258651' first='Andy' last='Fierros'] 6-1 260 DL Canyon View    With continued growth and progression Fierros will be one of the best in AZ on the D line. He won multiple matchups against top 6-5/6-6 competition, possessing strength and technique rarely seen from a kid still so young.   [player_tooltip player_id='1145520' first='Landyn' last='Deboard'] 5-8 130 25' CB Estrella Foothills   You would never how good this kid is until he steps on the field. DeBoard was selected by the coaches as a top DB, and ended up competing in the 1v1 finals at the end of the camp. He was a 1st team all-region pick last year and will project as one of the top DB's at the 4A level.    [player_tooltip player_id='1258658' first='George' last='Longoria Jr']. 6-5 240 25' DL Mountain Pointe   Longoria was one of the biggest sleepers of the day. The 6-5 D lineman had a few of the best reps among the big men but didn't necessarily get the same recognition. Some university could get a steal here.    [player_tooltip player_id='834643' first='Tyler' last='King'] 6-1 255 26' DT Chandler   King was one of the most impressive D lineman in attendance, moving incredibly well against some 6-5/6-6 talent. Chandler has to be excited with him returning after a successful sophomore year and camp season.   [player_tooltip player_id='1258654' first='Collin' last='Hauser'] 6-2 210 DE Basha   Hauser missed last season with an injury but has come back in a big way, looking healthy and fluid coming off the edge. He has the frame to add some size which could compliment his abilities.   [player_tooltip player_id='1258674' first='Tiki' last='Teeples'] 6-3 225 27' DE Canyon View       Another kid acknowledged by the coaches as one of the top performers. The young DE has a good frame and is coordinated beyond his years. Look for him to get in the mix as a sophomore.    [player_tooltip player_id='677977' first='Kenan' last='Veavea'] 5-9 165 27' DB Chandler   Give Veavea a lot of credit as he was making plays all day. Even as a freshman his testing times were some of the best at the camp, running a 4.62 (40) and 4.52 shuttle. He has the potential of being a factor next season at Chandler.    [player_tooltip player_id='1258667' first='Mason' last='Cantu'] 6-0 170 26' FS Basha   The talented baseball kid can also play a little free safety. Look for Cantu to be a guy in the secondary this coming season. On the day he was one of the better DB's.   [player_tooltip player_id='1212102' first='Hassan' last='Smith'] 6-0 150 27' DB Desert Mountain   Anyone at the event heard Smith's name a lot. He had multiple PBUs and was aggressive against top WR's. Desert Mountain got a good one with the transfer.
