Football: Aggies land Arizona juco star Coleman
A few odds and ends to catch you up on in the world of college recruiting.
First, though, a reminder to check out our BYU sports blog for the latest Cougar football commitment, which came from Layton High tight end/defensive end Thomas Bryson.
Bryson, also an outstanding wrestler for the Lancers, committed to BYU on Saturday.
--------------
Speaking of football commitments, Utah State got one recently from Rajric Coleman, a cornerback at Glendale (Ariz.) Community College.
Coleman played high school football at Agua Fria High in Avondale, Ariz., but had to go the junior college route because he did not qualify academically for a Division I program.
The 6-foot-2, 185-pound star had 26 tackles and one interception for the Gauchos.
He also had offers from Texas Southern, Eastern Washington, Portland State and Northern Colorado before picking Utah State.
Coleman will have three years to play two at USU, but cannot participate in spring ball because he has not graduated yet from Glendale.
---------------
A defensive lineman from Colorado who was drawing interest from BYU and Utah has committed to Wyoming.
Mike Purcell, a 6-3, 260-pound senior at Highlands Ranch High, committed to the Cowboys after an official visit recently.
Purcell did not receiver offers from BYU or Utah, but they were keeping track of him in case some of their other prospects didn't work out, according to his high school coach.
----------------
One of the state's top baseball players, Bingham's Colton Yack, has been invited to play in the Under Armor 2009 Preseason Baseball All-American game in Arizona. Yack has signed with Dixie State.
-----------------
Weber State and Southern Utah have both offered scholarships to Andrew Meredith, a safety at Green River High School in Wyoming. According to Robert Gagliardi of Wyoming News, Meredith would like to play at Wyoming and is waiting on an offer from the Cowboys.
Meredith was the Wyoming 2008 5A Defensive Player of the Year. He had 346 tackles in his four-year high school career.
