Salpointe vs Casa Grande

Salpointe's Elijah Barclay (2) gets enough separation from Casa Grande's Justin Romo (12) to haul in a bomb and set up a Lancer score in the second quarter of their game at Salpointe, the opening night of high school football, Tucson, Ariz., October 2, 2020.

Salpointe Catholic junior wide receiver Elijah Barclay landed an offer from the Arizona Wildcats, the three-star prospect announced his offer on Twitter Friday afternoon.Β 

The Southern California transplant, who's in his first season at Salpointe Catholic after transferring from national powerhouse Mater Dei in the offseason, also holds offers from TCU, Purdue and Illinois State.

The 6-foot-2-inch, 160-pound Barclay has only played in three games this season, but leads the Lancers with 285 yards and five touchdowns on 12 catches.Β 

Salpointe Catholic quarterback Treyson Bourguet, Barclay's teammate, became Arizona's first commit of the 2022 recruiting class. The Wildcats also have a commitment from Chandler standout wide receiver Kyion Grayes, who's recently sparked interest from Ohio State and Oregon.Β
