The Arizona board, the games of September 10 and 11

Recruit Intel scored every recorded box score in its database for the current weekly window and ranked the field by RPM, our Recruit Performance Metric. Arizona's share of the September 17 run is 1269 scored performances across 135 schools. What follows is the 10 highest of those Arizona scores, each from a game played on September 10 or 11. Every stat line below comes from our canonical database, drawn from recorded box scores, and every player named is verified by record identifier against a 2026 stat row at the school he is credited to.

The 10 highest scores

RPM is a percentile score computed within a position family, quarterbacks against quarterbacks and runners against runners, across the full national pool scored in this window. A score near 100 means the performance sat at the very top of its family nationally. The 10 below are separated by 1.78 of a point from top to 10th, and all 10 carry the same grade of A+. By class they break 6 from the class of 2027, 3 from 2028 and 1 from 2029.

How the board is built

The ranking is the top 10 Arizona scores by RPM with at least one game in the window, after our standard filters remove merged duplicate records, players our database does not treat as recruitable, and rows with no listed position. The same position and family coherence check we apply elsewhere, which sets aside a player whose listed position sits on the opposite side of the ball from the stat line that earned the score, found the top 10 here already clean, so no promotion was needed. Ties would break to the younger class, then to record identifier. Opponent rankings are our own Arizona team rankings as of September 17, printed because Arizona is one of the 14 states where our team rankings are live. Two opponents, Cactus Canyon and Chaparral, are not yet ranked, so no ranking is printed for those games.
