It looks like a banner year in the state of Arizona. The position that really stands out is offensive linemen with seven of the initial top 20 playing that position. But it's the 2012 Gatorade Player of the Year Jalen Brown that starts the season off as the number one player in the state. He runs routes like a diamond cutter while possessing tremendous body control.

The number two player in the Grand Canyon State is gunslinger Kyle Allen. He throws as well on the run as he does from the pocket. Athletic offensive tackle Casey Tucker takes up the third spot. Rounding out the top four is possibly the top hybrid WR/TE in the country Mark Andrews. The Arizona State rankings will be updated two more times prior to signing day 2014.
