No BCS trip for BYU commit Drew Phillips from Boaz, Alabama.

Phillips accepted an invitation from Cincinnati to visit the Big East school this weekend just days before the letter of intent signing date for high school football players around the country.

When pressed why, Phillips decided to drop his plans and save Cincy the money. BYU offensive coordinator Robert Anae visited Boaz in Alabama on Thursday.

According to his coach, Drew Noles, Phillips is scheduled to hold a signing day press conference at his school next week where he will officially sign with he Cougars. "I'll tell you this, BYU will be news all over the state of Alabama," said Noles.

Word from BYU's off-season workouts: Jake Heaps is impressing both receivers and defensive backs with his ability to place passes accurately on the shoulder away from the defender in seven-on-seven sessions and informal QB-WR throw afternoons.

Also, newcomer LB Kyle Van Noy has been very impressive covering the TEs. He's been so impressive, in order to challenge him, one of the defensive leaders suggested he workout with the defensive backs so he could be challenged and develop his skills against greater speed.
