Football: BYU's Class of 2009 commits make ESPN's list
The Class of 2008 is signed (mostly), so it is time to start looking at the best football players in the Class of 2009, right?
ESPN, which works with Souts, Inc., to cover recruiting, recently came out with its ESPN 150 Watch List for the Class of 2009. The good news for BYU fans is that four of the players on the list (which includes a lot more than 150 players, by the way) have already committed to BYU.
Here are the four:
* Terry Alletto, an offensive center from Ponderosa High in Parker, Colo.
* Adam Timo, a running back from Snow Canyon High in St. George
* J'Ray Galea'i, a safety from Kahuku High in Kahuku, Hawaii
* Craig Bills, a linebacker from Timpview High in Provo
Besides Bills (ESPN doesn't show him as a BYU commit, but he is) and Timo, the only other Utahn on the list is Cottonwood lineman John Martinez, who could join Lynn Katoa as one of the most sought after prep football players in state history, if early indicators are accurate.
Martinez, who was offered by BYU as a sophomore, already has offers from the likes of USC, LSU and Oklahoma.
Surpisingly, ESPN's list doesn't include TImpview's Xavier Su'afilo, the lineman who ranked as one of the best junior prospects in the country at the U.S. Army All-American Combine for junior in San Antonio last month.
It does include the five-star recruit whom most BYU and Utah fans familiar with recruiting have already heard about: linebacker Manti Te'o of Punahou School in Honolulu.
