Weber State lands commitment from Hamilton OL Ray

UPDATED: 3/12/26

Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 300 players from the Class of 2026 have signed with schools to advance their football careers and receive an education.

Earlier this month, we hit National Signing Day (on Feb. 4). Many of the committed athletes that didn’t sign with D-I schools in the early December period made it official with D-I, D-II, D-III, and NAIA colleges.

It was on that NSD that we found out about three more Division I signees that made their commitments official.

6-foot-3 Logan Ray was a three-year starter on the offensive line for Hamilton. The 285-pounder signed with Weber State.

Ray said the coaching staff was the biggest factor in his decision to go up to Ogden, Utah.

”Coach (Isaac) Asiata, the offensive line coach, is a young guy who played in the league (with Miami and Buffalo) and was the assistant OL coach at Utah last year,” Ray said in a text message. “It was pretty enticing to come and play for him. He was very open about how I could come in right away and potentially play as a true freshman. I’ve been in the area before, so I know what the campus looks like.”

Ray was a First Team All-6A Fiesta Region selection last season. He helped lead the Huskies to an 11-1 record and a spot in the Open Division semifinals.

Weber State signed a total of 30 new players this offseason. A dozen were completed in February to go with 18 more back in December. This was the first recruiting class for new head coach Eric Kjar, who took the Wildcats’ job in December. Weber plays in the Big Sky Conference (FCS) and finished 4-8 last season. The Wildcats begin this year with a conference game at Northern Colorado on Aug. 29. Weber State will also come down to Flagstaff to face Northern Arizona on Nov. 14.

Speaking of NAU, Gunnar Parra became the Lumberjacks’ eighth in-state signee when he inked his National Letter of Intent on Feb. 4.

Parra, a linebacker at Prescott, saw a lot that he liked with Flagstaff and the Lumberjack staff.

“I loved the town and the culture,” Parra said in a text message. “The coaches were awesome and seemed like a perfect fit for me. They also have my degree for construction management! Can’t wait.”

Parra led the Badgers with 89 tackles last season (30 solo) with 14 of them resulting in a loss (4.5 sacks). He has a 79-inch wingspan and also carries a 3.70 GPA. Parra was a Second Team All-4A Conference selection.

Northern Arizona has announced its themes for the six-game home schedule for 2026. Homecoming will be Oct. 17 against Portland State and September 12 vs. Incarnate Word will be the annual Family Weekend. Like Weber State, NAU begins with a conference game as Eastern Washington will visit the Walkup Skydome on Aug. 29. That game will be the Running of the Freshmen and Flagstaff Day. The Lumberjacks finished 7-5 last season.

Aveon Williams of Casa Grande is a versatile player, who made his mark on offense and defense in both football and on the basketball court. Williams signed with UNLV on Feb. 4.

The Rebels recruited the 6-6, 250-pounder as a tight end. Williams led the Cougars in receiving with 44 catches for 817 yards and 13 TDs. A one-time North Carolina commit, he is the highest-rated TE prospect ever signed by UNLV. Williams was ranked at No. 56 nationally by 247 Sports at the position.

UNLV is coming off back-to-back conference championship appearances and three straight bowl games. The Rebels went 10-4 last season and played in the Frisco Bowl in Texas. UNLV will remain in the Mountain West Conference with a pair of new opponents. Northern Illinois and UTEP have joined the league. UNLV will kick its season off a week early (Week 0) at home on Aug. 29 against Memphis. It will be the first-ever matchup between the two squads.

This list will continue to be updated throughout the spring semester. Many seniors are still getting offers and will be signing with Division III or NAIA programs.
