Football: Timpview's Kaufusi, Brighton's Heimuli lead Utah's class of 2010 prospects
Scout.com recently released its list of the top 300 high school football prospects from across the country. These are juniors who will sign national letters of intent with their chosen college programs next February.
The highest ranked Utahn is Timpview defensive end Bronson Kaufusi, who is ranked as the No. 53 player in the country and rates four stars from the Web site. Kaufusi (6-6, 220) is the son of BYU defensive line coach Steve Kaufusi and has committed to BYU.
The next highest ranked Utahn is Brighton High defensive tackle Ricky Heimuli (No. 159). Heimuli, the cousin of Utah signee Latu Heimuli and BYU signee Anthony Heimuli, is a four-star prospect who already has 11 offers, including invitations from BYU, Utah, UCLA, Washington and Michigan State.
Because Kaufusi has already committed, Heimuli will likely be the most heavily recruited prospect in the state in the coming months.
Pleasant Grove quarterback Dallas Lloyd, 6-3, 192, is No. 188 on Scout.com's list. Lloyd, a four-star prospect, has offers from BYU, Stanford, Utah, Wyoming and others.
At No. 201 is Timpview safety Chris Badger, who has committed to Stanford. Badger rates three stars from Scout.com, and had offers from BYU, Utah and others before choosing the Cardinal a few weeks ago.
Joe Kruger, the Timpanogos defensive end, is at 219. Kruger, younger brother of Utah standout Paul Kruger, has committed to the University of Utah. Rumors ran rampant a few months ago that Joe Kruger was going to transfer to Pleasant Grove for his senior season of football, but a source close to the situation said Tuesday that Kruger is staying put at Timpanogos.
The same source said that Kruger's commitment to Utah is not rock solid.
