Football: Cottonwood QB Jensen drawing college interest
Who are the best high school quarterbacks in Utah this year?
I checked out the Alta-Lone Peak game last Friday, and saw two of the state's better QBs, Alta's Jordy Brown and Lone Peak's Tannon Pedersen go at it. I was really impressed with Pedersen's arm and Brown's overall athletic ability.
I know Brown has an offer from Snow College.
But there may be another senior QB to keep an eye on -- Cottonwood's Crosby Jensen.
Jensen, a bit unkown because he is in his frst season as a starter (having played behind all-stater Steve Romero last year), said he recently received his first scholarship offer.
Weber State made the offer to the 6-foot-2, 175-pound senior whose older brother, Riley Jensen, played for Snow, BYU and Utah State in his college career.
Jensen said he has also talked to Louisville and Utah State, and both have let him know then have heavy interest.
Word on the street is that USU is looking at both Jensen and Jordan quarterback Alex Hart, and may make an offer to one of those seniors before the season is over.
Jensen said Utah, Southern Utah, Dixie State and Snow have also shown some interest.
Jensen got off to a rocky start in his team's opener against Alta. But since then, he's been terrific.
In his last four games, he has completed 89 of 127 passes (71 percent) for 1,067 yards and 13 touchdowns with just one interception.
"It has been an interesting process, adjusting to varsity football," he said. "I've had to learn as I go."
Knowing that he was not on the college recruiting radar last spring, Jensen hit the camp trail hard in hopes of improving his game and attracting the attention of college scouts. He attended camps at Utah, BYU, Utah State and UNLV and also participated in the All-Poly Camp in Bountiful, among others.
