BYU, Ute recruit done for season
Kevin Prince, a standout prep quarterback from California who counts scholarship offers from Utah and BYU among his eight invitations from Division I schools, will miss the rest of his senior season after an MRI revealed a torn ACL on his knee Tuesday.
How the injury affects the chances of BYU and Utah to land the blue-chip recruit remains to be seen. Prince, who plays for Crespi High in Encino, was injured Friday in 20-6 win over Birmingham. He is scheduled to have surgery in three weeks.
As readers of this blog know, Prince recently received a scholarship offer from UCLA and has said his two favorites are UCLA and Washington. He plans on going on an LDS Church mission a few months after graduating from high school next spring. Along with UCLA, Washington, Utah and BYU, schools such as Boise State, Nevada and San Diego State have offered Prince scholarships. He threw for 1,422 yards and 12 touchdowns his junior season, which was also cut short by injury. He suffered a fractured collarbone in the season finale.
Cottonwood Lineman Gets Offers
Sept. 1 marked the first day that college programs could begin extending official written offers to high school juniors, and
Cottonwood lineman John Martinez’s mailbox is already filling up. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound player already had oral offers from BYU and Utah. Tuesday, he received written offers via letters from Oklahoma and Kansas State, according to his father, Steve Martinez. More invitations are expected in the coming days.
Former Penn State Recruit Eyes Cougs
Simoni Lawrence, a defensive back from Pennsylvania who originally committed to Penn State but did not qualify academically and is now at a junior college, was part of the crowd of 64,000-plus at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday that watched BYU throttle Arizona 20-7. The 6-foot-1, 210-pounder who now plays for Valley Forge Military Academy in Pennsylvania, told the Web site scout.com that he loved his trip to BYU.
“I thought it would be strict and not really fun and all that, but I had a great time,” he said.
Lawrence told the site that his top three schools now are Minnesota, Miama and BYU. He visits Minnesota on Sept. 22 and is still trying to schedule a trip to Miami. As a senior at Upper Darby High School, Lawrence ran for 2,216 yards and 21 touchdowns.
He also has offers from Temple, Utah, Pittsburgh and West Virginia. Last season he was the defensive player of the year in his junior college conference.
