Weber nabs an O lineman
The Weber State Wildcats don't have a lot of football scholarships to pass out this year, as detailed in a Salt Lake Tribune story last Sunday.
But coach Ron McBride apparently likes an offensive lineman from Sahuaro High in the Tucson, Ariz., area enough to extend an offer.
Brett Jividen, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound all-star made an oral commitment to Weber State on Sunday, according to the Arizona Daily Star.
Jividen chose Weber State over Northern Arizona, his high school coach, Chuck McCollum, said Monday.

Speaking of commitments, the Web site Scout.com is reporting that Grossmont (Calif.) Junior College star Magnum Mauga has committed to Utah State. The Aggies signed four junior college players in December, but Mauga won't sign until Feb. 6.
Mauga, 6-0, 290, committed to BYU last summer and told JCFootball.com that he was going to sign with BYU in December. However, he de-committed when BYU told him it couldn't bring him in during the spring because it said it didn't have enough room, according to Mauga.
"They told me one thing and switched it up and I don't want to be a step behind with them so I'm looking around again and I'm basically open to anyone who want to recruit me," Mauga told the Web site.
He also mentioned that day that he had offers from Auburn, Arizona State, Nevada, Oregon State, Oregon and UNLV and had taken trips to Auburn, ASU and Nevada.
If all that is true, Mauga is a huge get for the Aggies.

We mentioned yesterday that the Utes are recruiting Christian Matthews, a junior quarterback from Bowie High in Arlington, Texas. Turns out, Utah may have a strong connection to the prep phenom.
Former Granger coach Dan Eckert, now the offensive coordinator at South Summit, says that Bowie head coach Kenny Perry is a Granger High alum who was Granger's defensive coordinator under coach Ray Groth from 1992-1995.

There is a lot more between the lines on the Mauga kid. Let's just say BYU did not fumble this one away. The kid had numerous starts and stops and pretty much reduced his choices big time.
