Football: BYU Loses Snow College Star to OSU
After talking to Snow College offensive lineman Andrew Mitchell a few weeks ago, a couple days after he had received a scholarship offer from BYU, I really thought the converted tight end was going to commit to the Cougars some time before the Dec. 19 signing day for juco recruits.
Boy, was I wrong.
Mitchell, the 6-foot-5, 300-pound star who started his career at Dixie State College before serving an LDS Church mission to California, orally committed to Oklahoma State on Sunday, according to the Web site GoPokes.com.
Mitchell visited the campus in Stillwater, Okla., last weekend. It is near his hometown of Midwest City, Okla, and he played high school football at nearby Choctaw High.
He said he will sign with OSU on Dec. 19, ending a heated recruiting battle that included BYU, Troy, Arizona and others.

Preston Davis, a receiver and linebacker from Shadow Ridge High in Las Vegas, committed to Idaho over the weekend. The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder was offered a scholarship by the University of Utah several months ago.
However, it is uncertain whether the Utes were still interested in Davis, who had 36 catches for 644 yards and seven touchdowns this past season. He said a few weeks ago that the Utes had not been in touch for awhile, perhaps signaling they had lost interest or received a commitment from another receiver type.

BYU tennis coach Craig Manning reports that he has landed one of the top female tennis players in the country. McCall Jones, a five-star recruit, has signed with BYU after receiving attention from the likes of No. 1 Georgia Tech, No. 2 Stanford, No. 3 UCLA and No. 10 USC.
Jones is ranked No. 3 among seniors in the state of California and is the younger sister of former BYU player Lauren Jones. She lives in Coto De Caza, Calif.
The Cougars also signed Romina Nedakovic, a senior at Juan Diego Catholic High School in Draper. Nedakovic won four state titles and is ranked No. 2 in the intermountain region.
