Football: Southern Utah lands Alta's Keller, others
When new Southern Utah football coach Ed Lamb said the Thunderbirds would focus on landing in-state football recruits like never before, he apparently was not joking around.
Sources in Cedar City have confirmed that the Thunderbirds have received oral commitments from at least four Utah prep standouts, with several others also in the works.
We noted that Murray lineman Zach Brackus had committed to Southern Utah in a previous post. Brackus said he also received an offer from Snow College, but wanted to play for a four-year school right off the bat.
He confirmed that Utah State was also interested, but wanted him to walk on with "preferred" walk-on status.
"I chose SUU because I liked the campus and the facilities and I got along well with the coaching staff," Brackus said. "I am confident in the new staff. It won't be long until they get things turned around down there."
Southern Utah didn't win a game last season, resulting in the dismisal of coach Wes Meier and the beginning of the Lamb era in Cedar City.
Along with Brackus, the Thunderbirds also have oral commitments from Alta High defensive end Derek Keller, Cottonwood linebacker Paul Fuaalii and Cyprus lineman James Nielson.
Southern Utah also has commitments from the following out-of-state players: Ricky Clark, a strong safety from Tennyson High in Hayward, Calif.; Miles Crawford-Harris, a defensive back from Oakland Technical High in Oakland, Calif.; Deon Turner, a cornerback from Oakland Tech and Micahel Hoke, a quarterback from Kamehameha High in Hawaii.
The Thunderbirds are also in the hunt for Snow College lineman Arron Po'uha, the former standout wrestler and football star from Cyprus High.
They are also working on getting Cottonwood High receiver Rich Tukuafu and Highland High defensive lineman Justin Manu, a source confirmed.
