Football: Logan QB Manning drawing more attention
In the world of college football recruiting, Logan High quarterback Jeff Manning is blowing up.
Figuratively, not literally.
A junior, Manning has no scholarship offers yet, but after his performance at the recent Badger/New Level Pass Camp 7 on 7 tournament in Las Vegas last Sunday, some should start rolling in soon.
I am pretty sure Utah is on the cusp of offering the 6-foot-4 passer who led Logan to the 3A state championship last fall. I do know he has been invited to attend several Utah practices during spring camp, including the Utes' spring game.
Scout.com's Brandon Huffman recently spotlighted Manning, calling him the second-best quarterback at the 7 on 7 camp behind sophomore Jake Heaps, the Skyline (Wash.) High quarterback who already claims an offer from BYU.
I was also at the 7 on 7 camp, and I wrote before that Manning and Taysom Hill, from Pocatello, Idaho, were the two most impressive QBs there. Heaps did lead his team to the title, though.
Seemingly, the Utes have the inside track for Manning, however. I've been told he wears a Utah sweatshirt a lot, even when he is hanging out with the daughter of Utah State coach Brent Guy.

Well, lets hope the Utes can land him and he turns out to be as good as you say he is.
If the kid wears a Utah sweatshirt that pretty much seals the deal for me. But beware those intense recruiting battles between Utah and Utah State.
