Naturally, Alta running back Sausan Shakerin and Bingham's four Division I recruits -- Iona Pritchard, Derek Tuimauga, Justin Sorensen and Austin Holt -- will be on display Friday when the Hawks and Miners tangle in a much-anticipated 5-A prep football semifinal at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Certainly, all give athletes are worthy of the attention they've been given, although Shakerin has yet to commit to a Division I program.

There will be another player on the field, however, who I think deserves a look from Division I coaches. I've seen Alta play four or five times this season, and I have yet to see anyone handle Hawks defensive end Derek Keller.

The 6-foot-3, 235-pound Keller had five sacks last week against one of the most elusive quarterbacks in the state, Timpanogos' Christian Stewart. He totally outplayed one of the sure-fire D-I prospects on the field, Timpanogos' David Kruger.

Keller is athletic, quick and seemingly has the type of frame that looks like it could handle 25-30 more pounds. He's also above-average in the classroom, according to coach Less Hamilton.

So why isn't anyone recruiting this kid?

"It's been kind of slow," Keller acknowledged. "I have talked a little with BYU and a little with Utah, but [neither] have offered. They give me tickets to their games, but that's about it."

Keller said he talked to Snow College coaches when he was at their camp last summer, but other than that the interest is minimal.

"My preference is go to either BYU or Utah. I would kill to go to BYU or Utah," he said.

Watch for yourself Friday at Rice-Eccles as Keller goes against Bingham's massive and talented offensive line.

Someone is missing out on this kid.
