Football: "Other" Colt lineman offered by Arkansas
Chris Fetters of Scout.com is reporting that Percy Taumoelau, a 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive tackle from Cottonwood High has received a scholarship offer from Arkansas.
I've been covering prep football recruiting in Utah for about 18 years, and I don't ever remember writing that last sentence before: "has received a scholarship offer from Arkansas."
Good for Taumoelau, who is rated as the No. 17 prospect in Utah by Scout.com and the No. 77 overall prospect in the Scout.com Northwest Hot 100.
With lineman John Martinez (Utah's No. 1 prospect), Taumoelau, running back Isi Sofele and safety Asi Hosea, Cottonwood could have four Division I recruits this February, maybe more if some others get their grades up.
----------------------------------
Defensive end James Aiono of Murray High signed with the University of Utah in February of 2007, but didn't qualify academically and headed off to Snow College.
After an outstanding freshman season for the Badgers, Aiono has been named a first-team preseason All-American heading into 2008. The 6-foot-3, 275-pounder will anchor a defensive that gave up just 186 yards a game last year, best in the nation.
And guess what?
Aiono is suddenly a big-time recruit again, drawing five stars from Scout.com. Utah appears to have the inside track for him.
