Football: Cottonwood RB Sofele not close to deciding
Cottonwood High senior Isi Sofele, a 5-foot-8, 175-pound running back with reported 4.4 speed in the 40, begins his final year of high school football tomorrow with a game against Clearfield, so his college recruitment is sort of on the back-burner right now.
However, Sofele took some time Thursday night to run through his list of offers and talk about his favorites.
"I'm really looking hard at Washington State," he said. "I guess I would call them a favorite. I like the coaching staff and I love the campus. I could feel at home there."
Sofele also has offers from Utah, SMU, Hawaii, UNLV, Air Force, Kansas State, UConn and Washington, he said.
He has made unnofficial visits to Washington, Washington State and SMU the past few months, going to SMU with another highly recruited Cottonwood player, safety Asi Hosea.
Sofele said he is in the process of trying to decide which schools to take official visits to this fall. He said he will likely commit to a school some time after the football season ends, but before the signing period begins in February.
"Really, I'm not that close to deciding," he said.

Close observers of Utah high school basketball may remember Holden Jasper, a standout player two years ago at Mountain View High in Orem. Jasper averaged just under 15 points a game his only year of playing high school basketball, in 2006-07.
Well, Jasper will play this season for Eastern Wyoming College.
He sat out last year to get his academics in order.
Eastern Wyoming is in Torrington, Wyo.
A quick glance at EWC's roster shows that coach Casey Jones has or had had a few other Utahns on his team: Delta's Jordon Johnson, Valley's George Williams and Manila's Casey Robinson.
