Football: Filiaga thinking about graduating early
Five-star recruit Manti Te'o is drawing all the oohs-and-aahs at the All Poly Camp this week, but a Bingham High linebacker looks almost as impressive.
L.T. Filiaga is not only a physical specimen, he moves well, too, and it wouldn't surprise me if the 6-foot-1, 230-pound rising senior picks up a few more scholarship offers after this weekend.
Filiaga said he currently has six offers: Stanford, Washington, Utah, BYU, UNLV and Arizona.
A three-star recruit, according to Scout.com, Filiaga carries a 3.85 GPA and told me on Saturday that he is thinking about graduating early, like Cottonwood's Lynn Katoa did last winter, so he can participate in spring ball with his chosen college.
It is a little more difficult now, though, because the NCAA has increased the number of required core class credit hours from 14 to 16.
Filiaga said he is not leaning toward any school right now, he said.
"I will pick a top five pretty soon, and start investigating all five," he said. "Then I would like to take my five trips, and see what schools can take care of me, and make me a better person and football player."
By the looks of the camps I've been through the past few weeks, Bingham High is going to be loaded this fall. Along with Filiaga, the Miners have a gifted quarterback in Jake Soffe, a tall, swift receiver in Michael Edmunds and a stalwart defensive tackle in Talai Livai.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why Edmunds does not have any offers yet. Along with being 6-4 or 6-5 and fast, he's done nothing but impress at the Las Vegas 7 on 7 camp a few months ago and BYU's Junior Day last Friday. He's also an excellent student.
