Football: Utes in running for highly recruited Texas corner
When it comes to football recruiting, the University of Utah casts a much wider net that BYU, offering scholarships to dozens of more players than the Cougars do.
While most schools offer like Utah does (more than 50, maybe close to 100), BYU probably offers fewer scholarships than any Division I school in the country. Coach Bronco Mendenhall said once that his staff focuses on fewer than 35 players a year, and probably offers scholarships to less than 30.
BYU is probably unique in that regard, due to its sponsoring institution and the type of young man that can handle its strict environment. The Cougars only have a handful of scholarship offers still out there, as we have detailed in previous posts.
That said, we are starting to get a better picture of the players that Utah is focusing on -- other than the nine players who are already known to have committed to Utah.
----------------
One such player is Josh Brown, a cornerback from Lancaster, Texas. Brown has offers from Utah, North Carolina, Wake Forest and Nebraska. The 6-foot, 180-pound senior recently said he was leaning toward Nebraska and that he will make his first official visit to Lincoln, having recently taken the SAT college admission test.
As Highland High's Latu Heimuli learned recently, recruits have to take one of the college admission tests (ACT or SAT) before they can go on an official recruiting visit.
Brown said he plans on visiting Utah when his senior season is over.
-----------------
The Utes recently received an oral commitment from Chris Washington, a safety from Northridge High in Layton. Jordan lineman Vyncent Jones is the other Utah high schooler to have committed to the Utes. Snow College's James Aiono, a Murray High product, has also said he will sign with Utah in February.
Other Utahns who have received scholarship offers from the Utes are Cottonwood running back Isi Sofele, Bingham linebacker L.T. Filiaga, Highland's Heimuli and Timpview offensive lineman Xavier Su'a-Filo.
Among the top out-of-staters that Utah has offered include Rolando Jefferson, a receiver from Fresno, Calif.;' Terrence Miller, a tight end from Moreno Valley, Calif.; Everett Benyard, an offensive tackle from San Diego; Kapua Sai, an offensive guard from Honolulu; Nat Harrison, a linebacker from Fresno, Calif.; and Cameron Marshall, a running back from San Jose, Calif.
