Zeth Thues Zeth Thues 5'11" | 180 lbs | DB Liberty | 2026 State AZ , DB, Liberty ’26
Thues is one of the most talked about DB’s in the state and recently transferred over to Liberty from Saguaro. He already checks all the boxes as your future division 1 starter and holds a massive upside for the next two seasons. He’s part of a trio of Liberty standouts that picks up a KU offer and projects to have a huge junior campaign for the reigning open division state champs.
Paz St. John, DL, Liberty ’26
St. John is a big, strong kid for Liberty sizing up at 6’3″ 260lbs. He’s had a very impressive offseason especially in the weight room, throwing up big numbers that look to translate to the field given his functional strength shown last season (365 Bench, 505 Squat, 315 Power Clean). He picks up his 2nd offer from Kansas with his first offer coming back in January from San Diego State.
Hudson Dunn Hudson Dunn 6'1" | 205 lbs | LB Liberty | 2026 State AZ , LB, Liberty ’26
Dunn’s productivity as a sophomore in 2023 was off the charts, racking up 15 sacks and playing a major role early on in his career for a stacked Liberty defense. Excellent frame and build at 6’1″ 205lbs with raw athleticism and great combination of play speed and play strength. He lands a Kansas offer binging his total up to 7 thus far, and I think he’ll see a ton more flood in and become a double digit offer guy really soon.
Rico Blassingame Rico Blassingame 6'3" | 185 lbs | WR Tolleson | 2026 State AZ , WR, Tolleson ’26
Blassingame has been a popular prospect to follow this spring given his productive 2023 season along with his upside moving forward. 6’3″ 180lb WR that fits your prototypical X/Z spot that excells at winning contested catches. He possesses numerous intangibles to be a true difference maker at the next level barring he stays on the same trajectory. Along with this recent Kansas offer, he also holds offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Washington, Louisville, UConn, Colorado State, and UNLV.
Judah Lancaster Judah Lancaster 6'4" | 205 lbs | TE Tolleson | 2027 State AZ , TE, Tolleson ’27
I talked about both Blassingame and Lancaster about a month ago for Tolleson prospects on the rise, and it has definitely not slowed down. The incoming sophomore landed yet another offer from Kansas, and will only continue to see the flood gates open. Excellent size at 6’4″ 205lbs with terrific body control, hands, and catch radius that will be a game changer here in 2024.
Cam Hamiel Cam Hamiel 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Desert Edge | 2026 State AZ , DB, Desert Edge ’26
Hamiel recently moved from Indiana out to the desert and it didn’t take him long to land his first two offers as a Scorpion. Hamiel picks up his 2nd offer from Kansas with his other offer coming a few days ago from UNLV and I don’t think he’s close to slowing down yet. Speedy, twitched up DB with excellent range and ball skills that joins a west valley powerhouse and a KU pipeline school.
Jalayne Miller Jalayne Miller 6'5" | 325 lbs | OL Desert Edge | 2026 State AZ , OL, Desert Edge ’26
Miller is touted with a big role and high expectations entering his Jr. year. A 6’6″ 305lb mauler up front for Desert Edge that has earned every bit of praise around the state. He picks up his 8th offer from Kansas while holding other offers from Wisconsin, Iowa State, Arizona State, Boston College, UNLV, and Georgia Tech.
Tait Reynolds Tait Reynolds 6'4" | 195 lbs | QB Queen Creek | 2026 State AZ , QB, Queen Creek ’26
Reynolds is a highly decorated QB and baseball player for Queen creek that adds another offer to his long list from Kansas. He currently holds 18 total offers and projects to be a top 5 QB in terms of productivity here in 2024 with a tremendous upside moving forward looking at the next level.
