Football: BYU offers Bingham WR Edmunds preferred walk-on status
One of the top receivers in the state of Utah, Bingham's Michael Edmunds, has been offered preferred walk-on status by BYU.
Edmunds, a consensus all-state selection, received the offer Monday morning at his school by BYU quarterbacks coach Brandon Doman and recruiting coordinator Paul Tidwell.
"I am thankful for the opportunity," Edmunds said.
The senior who helped Bingham get to the 5A state championship has scholarship offers from Southern Utah and Weber State.
He said he plans on visiting BYU coaches at the school some time in the next few days before deciding whether to take the walk-on offer, or a scholarship offer from one of the other schools.
Edmunds has made it no secret that his lifelong dream has been to play for BYU. However, the Cougars already have commitments from several other tight ends and receivers and have said they don't have a scholarship available.
At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Edmunds could be either a receiver or tight end in college. He will go on an LDS Church mission this fall before enrolling at any school.
Edmunds finished the 2008 season with 50 receptions for 961 yards and 14 touchdowns. Eight of his receptions went for more than 45 yards, and the big redhead has been clocked running the 40 in 4.47 seconds. He is consistently in the 4.5 range, he said.
