2007 In-state scouting report

A look at the top 10 players from the state of Utah who signed national letters of intent with Division I schools on Wednesday, in alphabetical order:

JAMES AIONO

DE, Murray High

Signed with Utah

Coach's comment: "He's the real deal. He's a good looking athlete, big, strong, fast. I think he'll be very successful at the next level. He has all the tools to be a big-time player at the next level if he works hard. I was definitely impressed with his performance at Murray." — Olympus coach Mark Smith

BRADEN BROWN

TE, Highland High

Signed with BYU

Coach's comment: "He's a very athletic, big kid, has a big frame and can run pretty well. He should be able to do things physically in terms of filling out. I thought he was most dangerous as a defensive end." — Former Cottonwood coach Tom Jones

SCOTTY EBERT

WR, Jordan High

Signed with BYU

Coach's comment: "We know he has great speed and we had to try and keep him in front of us. You know Scotty can run by you at any time." — Bingham coach Dave Peck

SIMI FILI

DT, Cottonwood High

Signed with Oregon

Coach's comment: "Physically, he has all the tools to not only play at the next level, but to go on and follow what Haloti (Ngata) has done." — Highland coach Brody Benson

MIKE HONEYCUTT

DB, Lone Peak High

Signed with Utah

Coach's comment: "We knew he was one of Lone Peak's best players and we tried not to let him have an influence on the game. He's a smart defensive player and he gets a good break on the ball. Even if he gives the receiver a little room, he has enough quickness to make up for it in a hurry. When you throw his way, you better get the ball there on time." — Mountain View coach Doug Meek
