Was just chatting with Mark Carter, him and Marcus just met the team for the first time in-person on Friday. Because of that, Maryvale won’t be attending the Phoenix Union Showcase on Monday. Instead, the Panthers first official practice will be Tuesday night.

Side note: Mark told me they have 17 coaches already, a lot of them from their staff at South. Shows they’re ready to hit the ground running building Maryvale back up.

Maryvale hasn’t had a winning season since 2010.

Welcome to the TeamAZV Photography and Media Thread!

In this thread we will feature our latest photo galleries, videos and other media related items.

I'm looking forward to sharing our team's work involving TeamAZV coverage as well as share some of my favorite work across social media from the many talented content creators from across the state.

Do you have a favorite piece of social media content involving Arizona sports that you would like to share? Maybe your program hosts a media day or posts a hype video reel to promote the next big game!

Feel free to join in on the discussions in this thread!

One thing is sure: the recognition of Arizona high school football and its athletes over the past few years has grown exponentially.

That's thanks to some of today's NFL stars, who got their start playing high school football in Arizona. Guys like Scottsdale Saguaro stars Kelee Ringo, Christian Kirk and Byron Murphy, or even players from down South who would eventually turn into first-round draft picks, like Tucson Salpointe Catholic legend Bijan Robinson.

However, the next generation of athletes is now preparing to make their mark, that is, after they have accomplished the first part of the journey: playing for a Division I school.

The list below is intended to serve as a database of current Arizona high school football players who have received an offer from, or have verbally committed to play, at a Division I school from the 2026 through 2029 classes.

The database is sorted alphabetically by school. Commitments are bolded. Players who have Rivals profiles have also been tagged.

Here, we will provide updates on the list. You are also welcome to share thoughts and predictions on where players are going or where you think they'll commit. Please avoid any negative comments regarding a player's recruitment.

Anyone else a little concerned that Mat Ishbia is doing the same thing that a teenager at Burger King would do- convince all their friends to come work with him?
