Linebacker Picks Oregon Over Utah, Others
A heavily recruited linebacker from Los Gatos, Calif., whom the University of Utah was very interested in has committed to Oregon, the Web site educk.com reported today after receiving an e-mail from the player.

Kiko Alonso, whom the Utes have compared to recently injured linebacker Kyle Brady, is considered one of the top players in Northern California. Along with Utah and Oregon, he had offers from Washington, UCLA and Nebraska.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder reportedly runs the 40 in 4.88 seconds. He had 143 tackles, five sacks, two fumble recoveries and an interception last season.

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham told The Recruiting Trail on Tuesday that the Utes are being very selective in their recruiting efforts because they have only a half-dozen scholarships still available. They have nine known commitments.
