Bingham's Edmunds, two BYU commits on top receivers list
BYU has commitments from two of the top 10 high school receivers in the West, if recruiting expert Brandon Huffman of Superprep.com is to be believed.
A week or so after unleashing his top quarterbacks in the West report, Huffman has produced his Top Receivers in the West list.
"The 2009 class of receivers in the West is deep, and extremely talented," Huffman says.
He lists Brett Thompson, the big receiver from El Dorado Hills, Calif., who committed to BYU last week at No. 6 and calls him the best offensive prospect in Sacramento.
Mitch Mathews, a 6-3 receiver from Beaverton, Ore., who committed to BYU in June, is No. 10 on the list. "Top playmaker in the Beaver State," Huffman notes.
Utah's top receiver is Bingham High's Michael Edmunds, who lands at No. 19. Edmunds, who has drawn interest from Stanford, Washington and BYU, is still without an offer. However, after being used lightly at receiver last year because the Miners had all kinds of other weapons, he started quickly this season with four catches for 34 yards in Bingham's 24-17 loss to Skyline.
He was also used on defense, and made four tackles. Word on the street is that colleges want to see more game film on Edmunds before they offer, and that at 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds, he might be better suited to being a tight end.
With 4.5 speed, though, he's intriguing as a big receiver.
"Good size and speed, is a crisp route-runner," Huffman writes.
Right behind Edmunds at No. 20 is Timpview's Travis Van Leeuwen, "a big, tall receiver with very good hands."
Making Huffman's "Next 15" were Chanzell Porter, a receiver from Concord, Calif., who has committed to Utah.
On the list of "Other Receivers to Watch" are Mountain View's Jordan Smith, Pine View's Robert Evans and Timpview's Travis Jorgensen. Pine View's Evans, it should be noted, injured his knee a few weeks ago and is unfortunately out for the season.

Thanks tdl for the up date ute fanz unfortunately have to rely on outside sources for recruiting information. We're not going to be getting much of it from Jay. The "recruiting trail" has pretty much become a BYU post/blog. Lya, we need your help!
