High school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every state around the country and one that is a breeding ground for college prospects is Arizona, with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates.
With state powers like Basha and several others having already revealed who they will be taking on this upcoming fall, next out of the Grand Canyon State to do so was the Mesa Jackrabbits.
