Williams decided to stay home and committed to the University of Arizona. The four-star QB dominated through his four seasons with Basha and the Wildcats made an incredible decision.
Carter may have been the state’s most dominant high school football player over the last two seasons. He played both sides of the ball for Centennial and was named the Arizona Cardinals High School Defensive Player of the Year in 2023. Carter will play for Washington next season and find himself in the lineup almost immediately.

Warner had a historic 2023 season for Desert Edge and led them to the 5A championship where they lost on a controversial call against Higley. The four-star edge rusher will be a Kansas Jayhawk next season and look to continue his dominant play at the next level.
All-American Bowl Performances
While official game stats were not recorded for this, it was clear that these three performed at a high level. However, Williams is the one that stood out the most on Saturday.
The quarterback had three total touchdowns and proved he is one of the best high school QBs in the country. Williams translated his play at Basha to a game against the country’s top players. The Wildcats and their fans should be thrilled to have him as their quarterback for the next few years.

Warner and Carter also showed out and proved why they were ranked as highly as they were through their high school careers. These three are headed to the next level and will be a treat to watch on Saturdays.
