Football: Here's where Snow College's guys are going
Snow College receiver Adam Frandsen probably would have ended up a Division II Chadron State anyway, but a call from former Buffalo Bills receiver Don Beebe, a Chadron State alum, helped seal the deal.

Turning down offers from several Division I schools and the chance to walk on at BYU, Frandsen enrolled at the school in Nebraska in early January, Snow coach Steve Coburn said.

Frandsen played high school football at Box Elder High in Brigham City before serving an LDS Church mission and playing for the Badgers.

Here's more information on where members of Snow's 11-1 team have headed or will be heading next fall:

* Defensive tackle Chris Romero has signed with New Mexico State and has already enrolled.
* Linebacker Shane Hunter drew interest from SUU and Dixie State, but has decided to walk on at Boise State.
* Receiver Kimball Burton and linebacker Josh Sharp probably could have moved on to a four-year school to play football, but both have decided to give up the game in favor of academics and both have enrolled at Utah State.
* Lineman Isleli Pau'u out of Hunter High has been recruited by at least one Division I-AA program but is still undecided
* As previously reported, OL Andrew Mitchell is goiing to Oklahoma State and DL Stephen Paea is going to Oregon State. BYU has grabbed safety Andrew Rich, lineman Tevita Hola and defensive end Coleby Clawson and lineman Casey Davis has signed with Utah State.

----------------------------------------

So who are the Badgers recruiting? Unlike NCAA coaches, junior college coaches can discuss recruits before they have signed. However, Coburn doesn't like to talk about his recruits out of fear that a four-year school will swoop in and snatch them up at the last minute.

He did say that the Badgers have offered 20-25 in-state players, and four or five out-of-state players who are big-time guys that couldn't qualify academically for four-year programs.

He said Snow would sign between 15 and 20 players on Feb. 6.
