Baseball: Cottonwood's Beverley Signs with OSU
Maybe there's a reason why Oregon State has won the last two NCAA national baseball championships. The Beavers apparently have a crack sports information staff.

The early signing period for baseball was today, and already Oregon State has announced the 11 student-athletes who have signed national letters of intent to join the Beavers.

Of course, one of those 11 is Cottonwood High star Kyle Beverley. As reported by The Recruiting Trail, Beverley committed to coach Pat Casey in September.

Beverley is ranked No. 187 nationally by Baseball America among high school players. He was a first-team all-stater as a junior with a state-high 11 home runs.

"He is a kid that can play anywhere in the infield or outfield," Casey said in the release. "He's more of a third baseman-type player. We really like his bat. He has a lot of offensive potential and is a good runner. He came from the same school as [current OSU pitcher] Tanner Robles so we really liked him and have seen him play a lot."

Former Jordan High star Garrett Nash is also on OSU's roster.

Of course, BYU signed Timpanogos' Brett Lopez today and Utah inked Judge's Joe Pond, Skyline's Tyler Yagi and Layton's Gavin Green, but neither of those schools have sent out any information on those players yet.
