Continue ReadingAs the offers began to pile up for 2022 Jal (NM) offensive lineman Roger Carreon Roger Carreon 6'5" | 305 lbs | OL Jal | 2022 State NM , you knew it was only a matter of time before a Power 5 school extended an offer to arguably the top prospect in New Mexico for the current recruiting cycle.
That time has come.
Oregon State offered Carreon on Wednesday during a “truly amazing” conversation between Carreon and the Beavers staff.
“At first I was speechless,” Carreon told Prep Redzone New Mexico. “I couldn’t be more grateful and excited for such an opportunity. Oregon State is amazing in athletics and education. I had a very good conversation with some of the coaches at Oregon State. The O-Line coach and I have been talking back and forth for a bit and I can quite honestly see something in the future with this relationship.”
Carreon was previously offered by Boise State, UNLV, New Mexico, Army, Air Force, Texas State, Northern Arizona and Illinois State.
Besides the offer from Oregon State, Carreon told Prep Redzone New Mexico in late February that he’s been in contact with coaches from Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas A&M.
Carreon said he has spoken with Oregon State head coach Jonathan Smith.
“I had a great conversation with the Oregon State head coach and he made sure that I knew Oregon St is a great school for me,” Carreon said. “I’m very excited for the future of this relationship.”
AZTEC O-LINEMAN SIGNS: 2021 Aztec offensive lineman John Taigaafi signed Wednesday with NAIA Clarke University, joining Eunice QB Hayden Dean in Dubuque, Iowa. Taigaafi is considered to be a very strong run blocker. He’s also very versatile, playing both left guard and right tackle during Aztec’s recently completed spring season.
