Football: Aggies land Logan QB Jeff Manning
In cased you missed it, The Tribune's Tony Jones reported on Wednesday night that Logan High quarterback Jeff Manning has committed to Utah State.
You can check out the story here.
Manning will go on an LDS Church mission first, and won't play for the Aggies until 2011. Still, it is a nice little get for new USU coach Gary Andersen, who has said he will focus on in-state recruiting.
Andersen will point to Manning's commitment as proof, but it is not like he beat Utah and/or BYU for the hometown hero. Neither the Cougars or Utes offered the 6-foot-4 senior a scholarship.
I've already gone on record saying that is a mistake, but we won't really know until 2011 or beyond.
--------------------
Latu Heimuli, the highly recruited defensive tackle from Highland High, noted in a text message that he recently visited Florida. It was likely Heimuli's last official campus visit.
Highland coach Brody Benson has said that Heimuli is "totally wide open" and doesn't have a favorite right now.
It has also been confirmed that Utah is rising on Heimuli's favorites list though, after the Utes weren't even the picture a few months ago.
Nebraska is also on that list, and Cornhusker coaches were in Salt Lake City earlier this week visiting Heimuli at his school and home.
