Some clarification is in order from a previous post about Cottonwood High lineman Keni Kaufusi's signing to play football for Utah. Thanks to Steve Martinez, father of Cottonwood junior John Martinez, for setting me straight on the young man's family situation.

I felt the relationship was important to note because, with Keni Kaufusi heading to Utah, there is some feeling out there that the Utes' chances of landing John Martinez improved a little bit.

Well, don't get your hopes up, Ute fans.

Steve Martinez said his son will likely go to one of the best three or four football schools in the country.

"Utah, my alma mater, does not fit that profile, so unless something changes radically, I will be using all my frequent flyer miles and then some," he noted in an e-mail. "Or, watching the TV on Saturday, Channels 2, 4 or 5."

John Martinez is rated as one of the best offensive guards in the country in the 2009 class. Already, he is one of the most-recruited football players in state history.

Here's the family situation:

Keni Kaufusi and John Martinez are biological brothers.

Steve and Lori Martinez adopted John when he was three days old.

Keni is 17 months older than John. Keni has lived with the Martinez family at various times, including about five years continuously from grades 4-8. He is living with them now, but Steve and Lori are not his parents (contrary to my earlier report).

Steve reports that Keni is "frantically" working on finishing the last couple of BYU correspondence classes he needs to get qualified academically for Utah.
