Contenders have emerged for Tempe, Ariz. native and Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star wide receiver Raiden Vines-Bright. After locking in a string of official visits last month, he’s now added another to the docket.

Vines-Bright told On3’s Chad Simmons on Saturday that he’ll take an OV to Arizona on June 21. He has taken four trips to Tucson throughout his recruitment thus far. The 6-foot, 175-pounder has also set official visits to Arizona State, USC, Washington and Notre Dame.

ArizonaUSC and Washington have the edge right now,” Vines-Bright told On3 earlier this month. “My options are still open and I am not settling into one school, but I am high on those schools. I like the coaches at these schools and I feel I can make an early impact.”

With the Wildcats, it’s the relationships being built with new head coach Brent Brennan and the UA staff. The in-state school is likely to have a hat on the table when the time comes for Vines-Bright to announce a college decision.

“I have really good relationships with Coach Bobby Wade and Brent Brennan at Arizona. I like their vibe, the staff calls great plays and the relationships are strong,” Vines-Bright said.

Vines-Bright is the No. 378 overall prospect and No. 57 wideout in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 53 player in Florida.

On3 ranks Vines-Bright higher than other recruiting services. He checks in at No. 149 overall, No. 18 at his position and No. 20 in The Sunshine State in the updated 2025 On300.

Vines-Bright talks other contenders

Washington: “It is the same with the new staff at Washington. The staff was second to offer me, so we have a strong connection and they have a special place in my heart.”

USC: “USC can make me better. I want to elevate my game on the next level, and at USC, I would get to work with Zachariah BranchJa’kobi Lane and guys like that. Those are guys I would want to play with.”

Notre Dame: “I need to see everything. My official visit is locked in and I know I like the staff, the way they recruit me, what I know about academics and athletics, but I need to see if it feels like home. That is what is important for me on this trip. The coaches are great and Notre Dame is a great school, but how I feel is so important to me.”
