Football: "Other" Wilcox has some game, too
Another Utah prep football star who stood out at last weekend's New Level Athletics 7 on 7 passing camp was LeSean Wilcox, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound safety and running back from Pleasant Grove High School.
Wilcox, a junior, played for Utah I in the defensive secondary. He didn't get a lot of balls thrown his way because teams seemed to be throwing away from him.
Wilcox is the cousin of C.J. Wilcox, the prep basketball star who has offers from BYU and Utah.
LeSean Wilcox also plays basketball, but he is getting the most recruiting attention in football, he said.
He told me he has a football offer from BYU, and he also mentioned that to a reporter from Scout.com who was at the camp making video packages of all the top players. However, I haven't been able to verify that BYU offer from any other source.
"The camp was a lot of fun, especically playing against some of the guys I already knew," he said. "We showed we can compete with anybody, us Utah kids."
LeSean Wilcox said he is also drawing interest from Pac-10 schools such as Cal, Oregon and Oregon State, but does not have any other offers heading into the April evaluation period. He said Utah has not talked to him at all.
I asked LeSean if he wanted to go to the same school as his heavily recruited cousin, C.J., and he said it would be nice, but wasn't a priority.
-----------------------------------------
According to one enthusiastic father at the camp, the University of Utah is interested in Devin Jackson, a 5-foot-7 receiver from Ayala High in Chino Hills, Calif. Jackson was one of the smallest players at the camp, but also one of the quickest.
He made several big plays for the California No. 2 team that lost to Washington in the championship game.
