Football: LSU among schools courting Spanish Fork TE
I mentioned last week that I was at BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium when noted recruiting guru Tom Lemming visited Provo to meet with some of the state's top football recruits who will be seniors this fall.
I was able to chat with four or five of those prospects and will be providing updates on their recruitment this week. I'm sorry I didn't get to it last week. I also cover motorsports for The Tribune and it was one of the biggest weeks of the year for Miller Motorsports Park, with the American Le Mans Series coming to town.
I'll start with Spanish Fork tight end Richard Wilson.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Wilson, who has reportedly posted a 4.68-second time in the 40-yard dash, said he has offers from BYU, Utah and LSU. He had received the written offer from LSU in the mail a few days before we talked, and noted that former BYU coach Gary Crowton, now LSU's offensive coordinator, was at his school a few weeks ago.
"I am still pretty open," Wilson said. "The earliest I will commit is right before my senior season starts. But I may wait until the season is over."
Wilson carries a 3.8 GPA, but has not taken a college admission test such as the ACT or SAT yet. He plans on going to LSU's summer football camp, if he can make it, and hopes to hit a day at BYU and a day at Utah.
Wilson said Auburn, Cal and Stanford have also expressed some interest lately, and he was invited to participate in the Scout.com combine in Glendale, Ariz. this coming weekend.
Wilson has been invited to play in recruiting specialist Max Emfinger's all-star game next January in New Orleans, but hasn't committed to that because he hopes to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, the game that is televised nationally by NBC.

The only way Utah will land this kid is if Ludwig FINALLY starts using the TE like he has said he is going to the last three years. Last years UCLA game is the only time he has used the TE effectively. No TE wants to go to college to become what amounts to being an extra offensive lineman.
Utah, as a state, sure seems to be producing a lot of talent at the TE spot as the years go by. This kid sounds like a great athlete, and I hope he ends up at BYU.
Frankly, though, I'm pretty happy with our depth at the TE position for years to come, so I won't be too disappointed (or surprised) if he chooses a school like LSU.
