Recent Class of 2024 College Commitments

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1763810' first='Johnny' last='Pierce'] - Pensacola State College</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pierce earned his spot as the #1 player in the class of 2024 in New Mexico and will be one of the best players in the JUCO circuit, drawing attention from Division 1 scouts as his college career begins. His 6'7" frame, freak athleticism, and great lateral mobility make him the archetypal wing player for the college game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1166976' first='Cody' last='Vassar-Steen'] - Northern New Mexico</strong> <strong>College</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vassar-Steen is the perfect point guard for a program looking for a physical three-level scorer. His ability to create for himself and his teammates has made him one of the premiere guards in the state, and his stellar career will only continue at the next level with a solid program that has shown success in the past few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1685516' first='Damian' last='Estrada'] - University of the Southwest </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Estrada made a name for himself as one of the best players to come out of Valencia High School, and his performances not only in New Mexico but in Austria, as part of the U19 USA team in the United World Games, earned him college interest and scholarship offers despite being hurt most of his senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2115173' first='Mike' last='Knaub'] - Adams State University</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Knaub has always been one of the best forwards in the state, even since his elementary school days, but through his play with ABC traveling around the country, he earned his spot on an Adams State team to which he should be able to contribute early in his career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225905' first='Marquise' last='Renfro'] - Eastern New Mexico (Football)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Renfro was a two-sport star at Atrisco Heritage and chose football to continue his athletic career. He was known for his physicality and aggressiveness on the court and those same qualities will serve him well on the football field, and he leaves behind a strong legacy as one of the best on-ball defenders to come out of Atrisco. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1124238' first='Elijah' last='Brody'] - University of New Mexico (Football)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brody had a breakout senior season as a basketball player, surpassing expectations and leading the Mustangs to the playoffs. Instead, he chose to play Division 1 football after being rewarded a scholarship from UNM as an athlete and dominating New Mexico as arguably the best quarterback in the state in his class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1679994' first='Josiah' last='Mitchell'] - New Mexico Highlands (Football)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mitchell had an up-and-down season on the basketball court but was nothing short of dominant on the gridiron, as he racked up offers upon offers from Division 2 and 3 schools. He chose Highlands as the main recruit of a large incoming freshman class, and will no doubt be able to shoot to the top of Highlands' depth chart as a wide receiver. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
