Had to sit through a Utah High School Activities Association meeting today as the group that governs high school sports in Utah began the formidable task of realignment.

Hence, I wasn't able to get much done regarding recruiting.

Here are a few tidbits I've had tucked away in the notebook:

* Murray High's Zach Brackus, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive tackle, has received a scholarship offer from Southern Utah and is also drawing interest from Utah State.

* Dudley LaPorte, a recruit from Santa Barbara (Calif.) College who is ranked as the No. 1 junior college tight end in the country, orally committed to Ole Miss last week. He had narrowed his choices to Utah and Ole Miss before making the pledge.

* David Rolf, a linebacker from Piqua High in Ohio with ties to the football-playing Kaufusi family in Salt Lake City, orally committed to Michigan State. Utah had shown some interest in Rolf, but was asking him to greyshirt, according to Rolf.

* The Tribune's Utah State football beat writer, Steve Luhm, tells me that Utah State was in the running for quarterback Jeremy Sanders of Navarro (Texas) Junior College, but he has committed to Baylor. Among the running backs the Aggies are interested in: Victor Jones of Richland, Texas, and Deonte Williams of Pleasant Grove High in Elk Grove, Calif.
