Soccer: Woods Cross' Burton headed to BYU
Woods Cross defender Will Burton is one of four high school seniors who has been recruited to play for Brigham Young University's men's soccer team next year.
Men's soccer is a club sport at BYU, so the recruits don't sign national letters of intent.
"When I found out coach Watkins wanted to recruit me for the team, I was so excited," Burton said in a news release on byusoccer.com. "I've always want to go to BYU, because I know they have a great program. I'm honored because I know coach Watkins sees a lot of good players."
Although he was recruited by other Division I teams, BYU was Burton's first choice, according to the release.
Other high schools who have said they will play for BYU include: Jordan Huber, a defender from Centennial High in Boise, Idaho; Colby Bauer, a defender from Red Mountain High in Mesa, Ariz; and Jace Green, a midfielder/forward from Southridge High in Beaverton, Ore.
Watkins has said there will likely be two more recruits added to the final team list.
Here's how the roster is shaping up.
