In the class of 2017, 13 Southern Nevada football players are considered three-star prospects by recruiting websites.
Centennial rising senior Jamaal Evans became the second area QB to make an oral commitment for 2017 when he recently pledged to UNR.
Bishop Jones and Alex Sims each signed a national letter of intent with Southern Utah on Wednesday, the first day recruits can make their commitments binding. They were two of 10 Arbor View athletes who signed during a morning ceremony in the school’s gym in front of more than 50 friends and family members.
James Drye, who shined this fall in his first season as the Aggies’ place-kicker, recently made an oral commitment to play soccer at UNLV.
When Anthony Smith was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament last month, the senior for Desert Pines’ football team worried college coaches would pull his scholarship offers. In fact, Smith was so concerned that he briefly considered not even telling recruiters about the injury.
In a football season sure to be highlighted by offensive and defensive linemen, Liberty junior Ethan Dedeaux stands out as one of Southern Nevada’s top returning playmakers.
