Signing day: 2009 In-state scouting report

Published: Thursday, Feb. 5 2009 12:59 a.m. MST

Isi Sofele

Craig Bills

DB, Timpview High School

Signed with BYU

Coach's comment: "It's not common that you find a defensive back his size. He definitely has a Division I body. You certainly have to know where he's at as you prepare for their defense. I think he's going to make a big difference at the next level."

— Lone Peak coach Tony McGeary

L.T. Filiaga

LB, Bingham High School

Signed with Utah

Coach's comment: "He's another one of a long list of big, fast, physical Bingham linebackers. He's not just a great football player, he's a great kid. He's a natural leader. He has great speed and physicality. He was able to make plays on us the last two years. He's difficult to get a body on. I think he's going to be a huge asset to the U."

— Alta coach Les Hamilton

Isi Sofele

RB, Cottonwood High School

Signed with California

Coach's comment: "He was so explosive, such a good athlete. You definitely wanted to keep him under wraps. If he gets out in the open he's so dangerous. Everything we did defensively was to try and contain him."

— Highland coach Brody Benson

Latu Heimuli

DL, Highland High School

Signed with Utah

Coach's comment: "Latu was definitely a kid we had to prepare for. He is a great player and a kid I thought could really hurt us when we played Highland. He's a big, physical presence."

— Cottonwood coach Cecil Thomas

Vyncent Jones

OL, Jordan High School

Signed with Utah

Coach's comment: "Vyncent was always a kid you knew was going to get after it. The No. 1 thing is he's a smart lineman. You can tell he knows how to play the game, he's well coached. He played hard, he wasn't going to make mistakes. We just had a hard time putting on any kind of rush against him."
