BYU-bound Holt Faces More Decisions
Bingham's Austin Holt, the four-star recruit who verbally committed to Brigham Young last February, has another decision to make in the next month or so.

No, Holt hasn't jumped back into the recruiting pool.

The senior tight end is starting to get invitations to some of those exclusive nationall all-star games in January, and will probably only be able to attend one.

The first invitation arrived Wednesday and was from the second annual Offense-Defense All-American Bowl in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The game will be televised nationally by ESPNU.

The other premier all-star game, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas, is the same weekend in January. Holt has not been invited to play in that game, yet, but will probably be invited because he is listed as top tight end in the West by several recruiting services, and the No. 2 tight end in the country.

The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is at the Alamodome and will be televised nationally by NBC.

Holt attended the festivities surrounding the bowl last year as an invited junior and worked out with many of the seniors prior to the game.

Holt's father, Ryan, confirmed recently that his son is still strongly committed to BYU, although he continues to be recruited by schools such as Stanford and Florida.

Murray Star Bound for Idaho State

Murray senior Ellen Larsen, an all-stater last year as a junior, has verbally committed to play soccer for Idaho State.

An honor student, Larsen has scored 10 goals in 12 games this season for the Spartans.
