247Sports ranks the three-star athlete out of Tualatin High School as the No. 1 prospect out of the state of Oregon in 2024 and is No. 24 nationally among tight ends.
“The biggest reason I picked Arizona State was the constant reminder that I was wanted,” Fortier told Huffman. “They never let up and they were always talking with me, checking how I am, how my family is.
“It meant a lot going into my decision. The coaching staff is one of a kind and they’re brand new and are going to do big things.”
