Much to the chagrin of Utah fans, the Collie connection continues at BYU.

Welcome aboard Brett.

No pun intended. However, the article is a bit misleading. Scout has him at #53 of all receivers, not all players. Rivals has him somewhere in the 80's for receivers nationally. Overall assessment? Good for him for choosing the Y, but this isn't a big story nationally.

Watching the kids jr year highlight tape, his play looks very similar to Collie. Could be a great get!

Good Job, Bronco and company. Keep on reloading year after year with quality players who are quality people.

Not another family connection for this team. Now Austin Collie and this new recruit will be family.

I'm glad BYU got him, but the family and friends connection is getting too much for me.

This is possibly the worst written article I have ever read. The wording is nothing short of terrible. Have you ever heard of a proof-read?
You ought to feel ashamed D News! Other than that, this is great news for the Cougs.

..has been added to the arsenal. What Bronco and his assistants are doing with recruiting has been pretty amazing. This team is only going to get stronger every year. After a couple more years of BYU dominating the MWC I wouldn't be surprised to see the Big 12 replace a team like Baylor with BYU.

Why would the Utes want this kid? We are playing Weber State next year, this will get our foot in the door of almost every high school player in Ogden city.

He's listed as the #53 receiver, not the # 53 player on scout.com.

I know it's tough for the little brothers who are obsessed with posting snide little comments on every article remotely associated with BYU; just relax. It's not that bad having a big brother.

Position rank is 53 not overall ranking. Thanks for not knowing the facts Dick ----- AGAIN.

Ute fan here, and its too bad that he picked BYU. However, if I were to pick between the schools listed that had interest, I would have picked BYU too. He can't be that great if he was one of the best receivers in California and none of the California schools were looking at him.

To the guy critical of Utah playing Weber (an in state school that was a bone thrown to the coach that got Utah notoriety), I'm sure the game against Norther Iowa will open recruiting doors in Iowa!!!

Relax byu fans! He is a three star recruit not a five star. Both Utah and BYU are loaded with three star recruites.

Ute fans don't go dishing us on this kid. He will be good. Bronco is getting the big physical kids at reciever now, something that BYU has not gotten in the past. Utah has a great one in Aione Keys if he ever makes it into school. I want Utah to be good because it makes are victories over them even sweeter.

Please read through your story before publishing. It is full of grammatical errors that a jr. high'er would catch.

He was a 4 star recruit until he began hinting that he was heading to the Y, then magically he somehow ends up a 3 star..
