Football: BYU offers Bingham's Remington Peck
Bingham High linebacker and tight end Remington Peck received a scholarship offer from BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall today, his father confirmed.

Peck, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound star who also shined for Bingham's basketball team last winter, will be a senior for the Miners this fall.

He got the offer after participating in BYU's padded camp on Tuesday, Kenny Peck said.

"He was way pumped...very excited," Kenny Peck said.

Remington Peck is No. 90 in Scout.com's Northwest Hot 100, released Tuesday. His dad said the Cougars are recruiting him to be either a tight end or an outside linebacker.

He was going to attend camps at Stanford and Washington to get more exposure in the coming weeks, but now probably will not to save money, his father said.

Does that mean Remington will commit to the Cougars?

"He's still up in the air," Kenny Peck said. "He wants to do it before the season starts, though."

Peck has also received an offer from Weber State, while UNLV, Washington, Stanford, Boise State and Utah have been in contact with the two-sport star.

The brother of Timpview High junior-to-be Chris Badger just informed me that Badger received an offer from the University of Utah today. Last week, Badger received an offer from BYU.
