Football: Utes offer Pocatello QB Hill
In recruiting parlance, Taysom Hill is blowing up.
Hill, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound quarterback from Highland High in Pocatello, Idaho, a junior, just received his fifth college football offer.
This one is from the University of Utah.
Scout.com first reported the offer this afternoon. I met Hill back when he was impressing everyone at the Las Vegas 7 on 7 passing tournament in March, so I called him to get the details.
Hill said Utah first made the offer through his high school coach a few days ago. Today, he received an e-mail from Utah assistant coach Jay Hill (no relation) with a note that he would be receiving a letter in the mail shortly with a written offer.
"It's exciting," he said. "I can see myself at Utah. It's pretty close to home."
Hill confirmed that he also has offers from Idaho State, Arizona, Boise State and Stanford.
He carries a 4.0 grade point average and received a qualifying score on the ACT college admission test, but is going to take it again because he believes he can do much better.
He said he doesn't have a favorite right now.
"I am just keeping my options open," he said. "I still want to make some trips in the fall to see what is out there."
Hill's older brother, Jordan, signed with BYU out of high school but transferred to Arizona State, so I asked Taysom if the Cougars were at all interested in him.
"They called last week and talked to my coach and asked for some film. I think [quarterbacks coach] Brandon Doman called," he said. "They haven't had any [direct] contact with me, though."
BYU did not sign a prep quarterback last February. According the Web site Totalbluesports.com, BYU has offered just one QB from the class of 2009. Josh Nunes, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound junior from Upland, Calif., and a four-star prospect, has an offer from the Cougars.
