Football: Layton QB Green is D-I bound -- in baseball
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone

Thanks for the love you've shown the Recruiting Trail blog the last few months. You've made it one of the more popular blogs on the Tribune's Web site.

Today, we continue our little discussion about Utah high school quarterbacks.

A kind reader reminded me today that at least one of the state's high school quarterbacks from the Class of 2008 has landed a Division I scholarship.

Layton quarterback Gavin Green is bound for the University of Utah -- on a baseball scholarship.

Green, a lefty, signed with the Utes back in November, just before helping the Lancers get to the 5A state championship game. He was a second-team Tribune all-stater at QB, and first team in the Deseret News.

He led the Lancers to their first region title in more than 20 years. He's also the leading scorer on Layton's basketball team.

Sounds like a great candidate for The Tribune's Athlete of the Year award, which will be announced in June.

---------------------------------

I also should have mentioned one of the Tribune's other all-state quarterbacks, Gordon Garrett of 2A Grand County.

A track star who recently posted a 7.05-second time in the 60 meters and runs the 40 in 4.48 seconds, Garrett has been asked to walk on at six different schools, but has no scholarship offers. He will probably end up playing cornerback in college if he decides to walk on somewhere.
