They're a little bigger, a little faster, a little more buffed.

If they weren't hard enough on opponents last season when Saguaro's defensive front was the strength of a 13-1 championship football team, Derek Bisgard, Corey Adams and Chris Merrill are determined to make it harder this year.

Merrill has committed to play at Arizona. Adams, only a junior but the biggest at 6 feet 3, 275 pounds, said he has received offers from UA, ASU, Michigan and Oregon State. He said he will wait until his senior year to make a decision.

Adams already has drawn national recruiting attention. The 6-foot-4, 272-pound strongside defensive end has early offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Michigan, Oregon State. After a sophomore season that saw him rack up 52 tackles, five sacks and one fumble recovery, there are huge expectations for him in the 2007 season. He was one of the best players at the Los Angeles NIKE Training Camp earlier this spring. College scouts love his ability to get after the football, but with his size he could eventually spin down to a defensive tackle on the next level. ?I know I need to get faster to be where I want to be as one of the best in the nation,? Adams said. ?But I?m pleased with where I?m at now. I just have to keep working hard.? Definitely expect Adams to be one of the West?s best prospects in the class of 2009.
