Football: Camp season in full swing
It's camp season, as readers of this blog and other recruiting Web sites are well aware, the chance for high school football players to show what they can do in front of college coaches.
Some camps, like the one at BYU this week, are specific to a particular school. Others, such as the All Poly Camp going on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Bountiful High, are non-institutional, but still have a boatload of college coaches working on the staff.
More than 20 NCAA Division I football coaches will participate in the All Poly camp, according to a news release sent out by the Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce.
The list includes Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, Colorado's Dan Hawkins, BYU's Bronco Mendenhall, Utah's Kyle Whittingham and Norm Chow, UCLA's new offensive coordinator.
Props to former Woods Cross coach Alema Te'o, now a Bountiful assistant, and what he's been able to build through his All Poly Sports organization.

One of the prep football players with a lot to prove this month is Jordan High lineman Kyle Johnson. After the 2007 season, the 6-foot-4, 280-pound Johnson figured to be one of the more highly recruited rising seniors this summer.
However, Johnson, who sports a 3.7 GPA, tore his ACL during the wrestling season, and the offers have not flowed in because many schools are waiting to see how well he recovers from the injury.
Johnson's teammate on Jordan's line, Vyncent Jones, has committed to Utah, and Jordan coach Alex Jacobson said Kyle Johnson is very similar to Jones in size, strength and talent.
Southern Utah has offered Johnson, while Jacobson believes Utah State is close to offering after Johnson performed well at coach Brent Guy's team camp last week.

Mountain View High in Orem, which has seen its football fortunes plummet the past 5-6 years before the Bruins won seven games last year, also has some talented prospects who seem to be flying under the radar.
Fullback/linebacker Anthony Heimuli (5-10, 225), posted some of the best numbers at the recent Nike Combine at Murray Park and was also impressive at the combine at Hillcrest High, according to Jacobson.
Also, the Bruins have another Stroshine, and this one could be the best of the lot. Dave, Mike and Matt Stroshine were all starters at Weber State, and Dave got some time with the Tennessee Titans.
Nate Stroshine will be a senior at Mountain View this fall, and the quarterback/linebacker has turned some heads at the BYU padded camp. The 5-11, 250-pounder is as physical as they come, especially for someone who plays quarterback.
