BYU offers Bingham sophomore RB Harvey Langi
BYU quarterbacks coach Brandon Doman attended Thursday night's West Jordan-Bingham prep football game, but he probably wasn't there to watch a quarterback, although Bingham's Jake Soffe is a pretty good one.
Bingham has a couple Division I prospects, most notably senior linebacker L.T. Filiaga, who already has an offer from the Cougars.
However, a source told The Recruiting Trail that on Friday BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall made another scholarship offer to a Bingham player. Mendenhall met with running back Harvey Langi, a sophomore, and Langi's parents and made the offer to the prospect many believe will be the state's top player in 2010 (2011 signee).
Langi received an offer from the University of Utah during the summer. Both offers are oral offers only because recruits are not allowed to receive written offers prior to the first day of school of their junior years.
Langi, 6-foot-1, 208, has been named one of the top 100 prospects in the nation in the Class of 2011 by maxpreps.com. His brother, Sam, signed with Snow College last spring.

An interesting note in a recruiting blog out of Hawaii says that USC coach Pete Carroll, sill smarting after Thursday night's loss at Oregon State, will be at Friday night's prep football game in Hawaii featuring Punahou and Kamehameha high schools. Punahou, of course, is the school attended by superstar linebacker Manti Te'o, the top-five-in-the-country recruit who has narrowed his choices to five schools, including BYU and USC. Notre Dame, Stanford and UCLA are also still in the mix for Te'o.

Snow College sent out a news release today reminding us that the Badgers have tne No. 1 junior college player in the country, defensive end James Aiono, according to a recent list released by Rivals.com. Aiono, of course, has committed to Utah.
Snow College's other defensive end, Mike Laloni, is also on the top-100 list, landing at No. 79.
No. 3 Snow has a big test on Saturday, traveling to No. 9 Glendale (Ariz.) for a battle of unbeatens.
