Football: Sky View star gets offer from Navy
I figured it wouldn't take long for Joe DuPaix, the former Skyline High and Southern Utah quarterback who is now the running backs coach at Navy, to start making some football recruiting inroads into Utah.
DuPaix, who spent the last several years of his coaching career as offensive coordinator at Cal Poly, has made his first scholarship offer to a Utah player.
Navy has offered a scholarship to McKade Brady, a receiver and safety at Sky View High in Smithfield. Brady said he got the offer a week or so ago and is trying to set up an official campus visit to Navy, which is in Annapolis, Md.
"I think I could handle it, but I'm not sure I want to," Brady said. "I need to get there and see what's going on and hear everything they have to say."
Brady, 6-0, 170, played some quarterback and also returned kicks for the Bobcats last season.
He's also considering a future in track and field, since he was second in the 400 meters at last spring's 4A state track meet.
Academics shouldn't be a problem because Brady carries a 3.92 GPA and scored a 25 on the ACT college admission test. He was a first-team all-stater in The Salt Lake Tribune.
Brady said BYU and Utah have asked him to walk on (with "preferred walk-on status"), while Southern Utah, Utah State and Snow College coaches have also been at Sky View to watch tape and talk to him.
Navy is the first and only school to have offered a scholarship, however.
