We've written quite a bit about Snow College's football program lately, and for good reason. The Badgers are ranked No. 1 in the nation and will play for the national championship against Butler (Kan.) Community College on Dec. 1 at Rice Eccles Stadium.

Here's some more good recruiting stuff from coach Steve Coburn:

Snow receiver Adam Frandsen is visiting Troy University in Alabama this weekend. The Trojans' offensive coordinator, Tony Franklin, was in Ephraim last Monday looking at several Badgers and may make some other scholarship offers shortly.

"Troy's coaches like us because when we say we have a 6-foot-4, 250-pound kid, that kid is really 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds," Coburn said. "They trust us."

Other Snow players that are being looked at by D-I schools include wide receiver Troy Cummings of Las Vegas (Oklahoma State has expressed interest.

Northern Arizona is looking at linebackers Shane Hunter (Idaho Falls) and Josh Sharp (Emery High). New Mexico State is recruiting defensive linemen Chris Romero (Las Vegas) and Casey Davis (Riverton High).

So who do the Badgers like from the high school ranks? Junior college coaches have a little more leeway in discussing recruits before they have signed than NCAA coaches.

Coburn said the Badgers have offered Union quarterback Rhen Richard, North Summit's Drew Robinson, American Fork's Zac Emosa and Patrick Ah of Kahuku, Haw.

With Dixie State College no longer a junior college, Snow coaches now often find themselves recruiting against Southern Utah and Weber State, Coburn said.
