Football: Grantsville linebacker has some offers
Grantsville football coach Tony Cloward has been kind enough to pass along some recruiting information on Austin Gumucio, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound senior linebacker and fullback at the school in Tooele County.

Weber State has offered Gumucio after the star visited coach Ron McBride at the school on Jan. 16. Twice Wildcat coaches have visited Gumucio at home or at school.

This weekend, Gumucio will visit Southern Utah.

Utah State has been in touch lately, and BYU has also ratcheted up its interest in the past few weeks, Cloward said.

Last month, Gumucio received an offer from Snow College.

Oklahoma State has extended an invitation to be a preferred walk-on. Southern Virginia, an LDS Church-based school in the East, has also expressed interest.

"Austin's focus seems to be on Weber State and SUU, with a watchful eye on USU and BYU," Cloward said. "It would take an aggressive and extraordinary move by another school to compete with those four right now."

Gumucio led Class 3A in tackles and was third in the state with 157 takedowns in 11 games. He also averaged 5.5 yards per carry and was named the team MVP.
