BYU lands one juco linebacker, loses one to Illinois
BYU football coaches landed one of the junior college linebackers they were recruiting on Wednesday, but lost the other to Illinois.
Jordan Atkinson, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound linebacker from Diablo Valley Community College in Northern California committed to BYU and will sign his national letter of intent with the Cougars before the week is over.
However, Aaron Gress, a linebacker from College of The Sequoias in California, signed with the Illini on Wednesday.
Both players are mid-year transfers and will begin taking classes at their chosen four-year schools in January.
Gress, 6-2 and 228 pounds, had narrowed his choices to BYU and Illinois. He also visited Marshall and was being recruited by Nevada, Kansas State and Minnesota.
BYU has also offered a scholarship to cornerback Lee Aguirre from Fullerton Junior College in California. A member of the Fullerton staff said Aguirre will make his decision known on Thursday.
He has narrowed his choices to BYU and Hawaii.
