Roch Cholowsky Roch Cholowsky 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Hamilton | 2023 State AZ , QB, Hamilton
Cholowsky has had to wait his turn behind top prospect Nicco Marchiol but is in line to start for Hamilton as a senior. One of the premier shortstop prospects in the western region that’s committed to UCLA, his athleticism and arm talent transition well to the football field. He’s a natural passer with plus arm strength and accuracy to hit his spots at all three levels. Clean footwork and mechanics in the pocket, he’s got a smooth over the top delivery that allows him to get the ball out quick and on time at the short and intermediate levels. Good ability to move the pocket and throw on the run to either direction without sacrificing arm strength or accuracy. Picked up an offer from New Mexico State in December and has tons of receiver talent around him to set himself up for a big senior season.
Excited to announce that I have received my first Division 1 offer to play football at New Mexico State! Aggie Up! @NMStateFootball pic.twitter.com/nf8dIYYExW

Brayden Cherry Brayden Cherry 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Cienega | 2023 AZ , QB, Cienega
Cherry had a breakout junior season at Cienega throwing for 1,785 yards and 16 touchdowns while completing 60% of his passes. At 6’2” 185 lbs. he’s a strong pocket passer that shows the ability to place the ball downfield with touch or fit it in a tight window with velocity. He makes quick decisive reads and has an accelerated release to anticipate and get the ball out on time. Good pocket presence and awareness with functional athleticism to maneuver around pressure, throw on the run, or make a play with his legs when he has too. He’s a high academic prospect that has continued to improve and is expected to have a build on his numbers as a senior.

Jaiden McDaniel Jaiden McDaniel 6'0" | 200 lbs | QB Paradise Valley | 2023 State AZ , QB, Paradise Valley
Strong skillset for the Paradise Valley QB that can make plays with both his arm and his legs. Good solid build at 6’0” 200 lbs., he’s got good natural arm strength and plus accuracy as a passer. He’s highly competitive, has a high football IQ, and can attack defenses in a lot of different ways. Shows he can work through his progression processing information quickly and making smart decisions with the football. Calm demeanor in the pocket, he’s never panicked and does a good job feeling/escaping pressure. Plus athleticism and speed to rip off big yardage as a ball carrier on both broken pass plays and designed runs. Don’t be surprised to see him climbing the rankings once the season gets underway.
One of the fastest rising prospects in Arizona is QB Jaiden McDaniel 6' 200 Phoenix Paradise Valley HS. Blessed with a strong arm, smarts, is a student of the game and can run himself out of trouble. Cool under pressure and very accurate.@Vincent_Jaiden1 Very athletic and focused pic.twitter.com/hWwdwC4lby

Caden Dawes Caden Dawes 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Canyon Del Oro | 2023 AZ , QB, Canyon Del Oro
Impressive arm talent on the 6’2” 190 lbs. QB out of Canyon Del Oro. The ball jumps out of his hand with a smooth over the top delivery and fully extended arm motion. He gets good velocity and trajectory on the ball by driving off his back foot transitioning to his follow through under control and in balance. Flashes a good ability to throw off platform and from different arm angles without sacrificing accuracy or arm strength. Plus field vision and footwork whether in the pocket or under pressure, he scans the whole field while quickly processing his reads and making smart decisions with the football, evident by him only throwing three interceptions on the season on almost 200 attempts. Finished his junior year with 1,800 yards and 18 touchdowns with a 118 QBR. Looking to build off his first offer from Hastings College at the end of May.

Gavin Hogencamp Gavin Hogencamp 6'3" | 175 lbs | QB River Valley | 2023 State AZ , QB, River Valley
Dual threat QB with savvy athleticism and a live arm. At 6’3” 175 lbs. he’s a creative playmaker with great awareness and feel for the game. Tough to defend with his ability to improvise and extend plays as they develop. As a passer, he can push the ball vertically with touch and use his anticipation to throw receivers open allowing them to run after the catch. Shows a good understanding of the RPO making quick accurate reads with confidence and good eye discipline. As a ball carrier, he’s got good speed, short area burst, and body control to make defenders miss and be elusive in space. Finished his junior season with over 1,800 yards passing and 19 touchdowns while completing 70% of his passes. Thus far in his recruiting process he’s been offered by Arizona Christian and Graceland.
