The Wranglers are in full preparation for the 2026 season, resigning key players while adding new talent and continuing their diligent scouting efforts. The Northern Arizona Ranglers have officially kicked off preparations for their sixth season as a franchise, building on another year of intense, competitive performances, especially on their home field in Prescott Valley. A major focus of the early offseason has been retaining the key players and coaches who fueled the team's success in 2025, while also laying the groundwork for even bigger plans on and off the field in 2026. The Wranglers are moving quickly through the offseason process, gaining an edge on the competition

with a sizable portion of the 2026 roster already in place. Fans in Prescott Valley can expect an exciting slate of eight home games in 26, each featuring interactive game themes and community-driven promotions. The Wrangler's strong partnerships with local businesses will continue to bring special giveaways and unique experiences to the game day atmosphere. The team's first major move of the offseason came with the resigning of head coach Ron James, who returns for his second year leading the Wranglers. A two-time Arena Football League coach of the year, 2012, 2017, James is highly respected

among his peers and players across the indoor football league. James wasted no time in reloading the roster for 2026, bringing back defensive coordinator Larry Hendricks, whose defense ranked fifth in the IFL and fewest yards allowed last season. Coach James has been working tirelessly to scout new talent at various college football games and camps, while Coach Hendricks is set to attend a combine in Texas to evaluate potential Ranglers players. On the offensive side, the Ranglers first resigning was quarterback Ramon Atkins, who provided a spark to the offense in 2025. In just 10 games, Atkins threw for more than 1,500 yards and 25 touchdowns, while adding 270 rushing yards and 11 scores on the ground. With a full

offseason of preparation ahead, Atkins looks poised to elevate the Wranglers' attack even further in 2026. The Wranglers also resigned his brother, offensive lineman Ryan Atkins, a proven leader in both pass protection and run blocking. The Wranglers are thrilled for the return of several offensive playmakers for the 2026 season. Running back Nolan Seuzel, a tough runner and versatile threat, is back after posting over 360 yards of offense and 11 touchdowns. Wide receiver Kobe Smith, another key contributor, resigned after recording 45 receptions and seven touchdowns. The offense also retains Marlon Cook Jr., who found the end zone four times in just seven games, along with offensive lineman Jr. Atchua to see, a steady anchor and leader up front.

Defensively, the Wranglers resigned several key playmakers, highlighted by defensive back Karen Page. Page was a force in 2025, leading the team with 66.5 tackles, recording five interceptions, and adding six pass breakups. His five picks were just too shy of the league lead, despite playing in only 12 games. Joining him are defensive-backed Simeon Burns, who made an immediate impact with two past breakups and a fumble recovery in just two appearances, and defensive back Davyagbur, who tallied three interceptions in only four games. The Wranglers also secured the return of defensive lineman Karan Bolden,

who turned heads as a rookie with a mix of sacks, tackles for loss, forced fumbles, and even a blocked kick. So far, the Wranglers have resigned ten players from the 2020. squad and brought in 12 new faces set to make their Wranglers debut in 2026. Stay tuned to the Wrangler's social media channels for player announcements and roster updates throughout the offseason. With their core intact and more signings on the horizon, the Wranglers are laying a strong foundation for another year of intensity, community connection, and exciting football in Prescott Valley.
