Football: Navy offers Park City's Walker, Chynoweth
We've written a lot the past few months about Utah's top high school football players from the class of 2010 -- guys such as Brighton's Ricky Heimuli, Pleasant Grove's Dallas Lloyd and Timpview's Bronson Kaufusi.

Another player who is having a fantastic summer at camps and talent combines is Park City defensive back Erik Walker.

Walker, a 5-foot-10, 170-pound cornerback and quarterback, recently received his first Division I offer -- from Navy.

Walker and his teammate, running back Dylan Chynoweth, both received offers from Navy after leading Park City to the championship of Navy's recent 7-on-7 passing tournament.

According the the Web site gomids.com, Navy assistant coach Joey DuPaix called both players into his office and offered both scholarships.

DuPaix, of course, is the son of Skyline head coach Roger DuPaix and a former standout quarterback at Skyline.

Walker is one of the fastest players in the state, while Chynoweth, 5-8, 174, reportedly runs a 4.5-second 40.

Walker, who is being recruited mostly as a defensive back, has also drawn interest from Oregon State, Army, Air Force and Utah. Walker was named Combine MVP and the Fastest Man at the National Underclassman Combine in Idaho last month after posting a 35.5-inch vertical jump and a 9 foot, 5-inch broad jump.

He reportedly ran a 4.36 40 at the All-Poly Camp in Bountiful and was clocked in the 4.5 range in Idaho.
