Football: Granger OL Mulitalo named MVP of USC camp
About 15 high school football players from Utah -- at least 10 from Brighton, two from East and two from Granger -- traveled to the Long Beach (Calif.) Nike Combine last weekend.
Of the 300 or so prospects at the camp, Granger offensive lineman Manu Mulitalo and Brighton defensive tackle Ricky Heimuli were among 30 prospects invited to attend the NFTC the next day at USC.
Mulitalo continued to shine, and was named the offensive line MVP by the coaches who worked at the camp.
Here's what ESPN.com's college recruiting page said about Mulitalo:
Mulitalo was solid throughout the day and then really stepped up his game during the one-on-one drills. He's a physical road grader type at guard and plays with an edge. He finishes his blocks very well, moves his feet well and has a great punch. There were a handful of prospects, who entered the camp still waiting for their first offer to roll in. Mulitalo was one of those players, but his performance showed he's definitely a solid Division I prospect.
A family friend said via e-mail that Mulitalo, 6-foot-2, 300 lbs., does not have any offers yet but that BYU, Utah and Utah State have all been in contact with his high school coach.
---------------------
As for Heimuli, the Brighton defensive tackle has so many offers it is getting difficult to keep track of them.
The latest school to extend a scholarship invitation: USC.
It is Heimuli's 16th offer, and he is quickly becoming one of the most-recruited prep football players in state history.
At the USC camp, Heimuli was edged for defensive line MVP honors by Ronald Powell of Rancho Verde High in Moreno Valley, Calif. Powell is also one of the highest-rated DTs in the country.
The USC offer to Heimuli is significant because his uncle, Deuce Lutui, played for the Trojans and is now with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.
Every Pac-10 school except Oregon has now offered Heimuli. He also has offers from Utah State, Utah, BYU, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado and Michigan State.
