#10 Jaime Cota
QB Tucson Desert Demons - Arizona Football League 2010

The young man is 22 and working to become a firefighter. He is EMT Certified and well into his Paramedic Certification process. He stands 6'1 and weighs in at 200 pounds but the magic is in his eyes. He sees the open receiver and has a Dan Marino quick release pass that makes DB's look like statues.

Jaime Cota played his prep ball at an Arizona high school know for top, tough athletes. Sunnyside, the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils are are famous for a wrestling program that has been one of the best in the history of the AIA, Arizona Interscholastic Association

Jaime played at Sunnyside from 2001-2004. During his senior season he had four 300 yard games and threw for 24 touchdowns. He was a pre-season All West Coast selection and was  first team All State. As a junior he was second team All State. He was at Spring ball at the University of Arizona for the PAC-10 Wildcats. They had him working out at the receiver position. Being a walk on the expense and family obligations took it's toll and even though his position coach wanted him to stay, he had to go.

Jaime is hoping to catch on at another college, he was recruited as a dual threat as a QB/WR. He could then pursue his degree and play the sport he love. In talking to the Demons Head Coach JD Acord it becomes clear Jaime is well prepared to help a program. Tucson Desert Demons co-owner and GM Amber Martinez is certain Jaime Cota would be the perfect guy for a college team. She says "He works hard, knows his stuff and can lead a team.
