Cougars' walk-on recruiting
Brigham Young's football team lost out on one of its targeted recruits over the weekend as Snow College offfensive lineman Andrew Mitchell orally committed to his hometown team, the Oklahoma State Cowboys (see previous post).
However, sources tell The Recruiting Trail that the Cougars are interested in several other Snow College products.
BYU has offered "preferred walk-on status" to Snow wide receiver Adam Frandsen, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound sophomore from Brigham City's Box Elder High. That means he will be one of the first walk-ons to get a scholarship when one opens up.
It's sort of the same deal that Snow College quarterback Cade Cooper got last year. He was eventually given a scholarship, but got injured in spring ball and transferred out of the program.
It appears that Frandsen's situation depends on what happens with Florida receiver O'Neil Chambers and/or New York slot receiver David Zapata (guys we've mentioned in previous posts).
A good source also says that Timpview receiver Mark Ercanbrack has been offered preferred walk-on status by the Cougs. Ercanbrack is the Tribune's Class 4A Most Valuable Player after leading the Thunderbirds to an undefeated season and state title.
The Trib's 2007 All-State Football Team is in today's newspaper (Monday, Dec. 10) in case you missed it. Thankfully, prep footbll writer Andrew Aragon, in one of his final acts as a Trib employee, named Alta's Sausan Shakerin the 5A MVP. Shak committed to Utah last week, you may recall.
But that's another story.
Another Snow standout, freshman safety Andrew Rich, could also find himself with a Division I program next fall.
According to an e-mail from Rich's father, Danny, the former Bonneville High star is making an official visit to Cal this coming weekend. Rich led Snow in tackles, interceptions and pass breakups in 2007.
I know he's a fabulous athlete because he led 4A basketball in scoring in 2004, averaging 21.7 points a game.
Andrew Rich also has a meeting scheduled with BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Badgers are watching to see if their coach, Steve Coburn, gets the Southern Utah job. He's a candidate, along with Utah receivers coach Aaron Roderick, Utah State receivers coach Greg Stevens, Cal Poly offensive coordinator Joe DuPaix and others.
