Football: Two Utah Juniors Make All-Combine Team
It's never too early to start talking about the best junior football players in the state, right?
We now know that any conversation in that regard has to start with a pair of offensive linemen, Cottonwood's John Martinez and Timpview's Xavier Su'afilo.
Martinez, a 6-foot-4, 275-pounder and Su'a Filo, 6-4, 270, were named to the U.S. Army All-American Game All-Combine Team in San Antonio last week. They were among more than 500 of the country's top juniors invited to participate in the combine.
Here's what Rivals.com said about the two Utah friends.....
"Martinez is already widely thought of as one of the nation's best, and his leverage and lower body strength are something else."
"Su'afilo and [Quinton] Washington also established themselves as top level prospects at the combine."
Of course, three of the state's top seniors, BYU-bound Justin Sorensen (Bingham) and Austin Holt (Bingham) and Colorado-bound Lynn Katoa (Cottonwood) played in the game.
Katoa was recently named the Red Zone Player of the Year for Utah. Old Spice runs the program and the winners' names will be published in the Feb. 8 edition of USA Today.

Found this item written by Andy Boogard and Lisa Houk for Wednesday's Fresno (Calif.) Bee that sheds some light on the quarterback recruiting situation at Utah. Last week, the Utes received a commitment from quarterback Devonte Christopher of Las Vegas' Canyon Springs High.

DAVIS ON HOLD -- AGAIN
Edison's Jerry Davis, a Bee All-Star quarterback itching for a scholarship offer, is stuck playing the waiting game again.
His scheduled recruiting visit to Utah last weekend was canceled by Utes coaches, who told him they're waiting first for a commitment from another quarterback.
"This is how it's been all of the time, so I'm used to it," said Davis, who passed for 2,154 yards and 29 touchdowns against only eight interceptions for the 10-1-1 Tigers. "But they said they will talk to me at the end of January. If that guy does commit, they may find a way to get me in and gray shirt."
Davis said San Diego State has also expressed interest.
