You ARE a great guy Austin and deserving of all the accolades presented to you. Thanks for your example of perseverance!

I'm still voting you pursue a acting career or degree, you are a natural on stage and you are the best Javert I have seen. best of luck at college and with your football aspirations.

Well done | 8:56 a.m. June 8, 2009

Great story about a fine young man. And good for him to sign with Southern Utah and to play for Coach Lamb. That program is up and coming the the batch of recruits (including Austin and player of the year, Ammon Olsen out of Alta) Coach Lamb and his staff have landed, speaks to the direction SUU football is heading. Can't wait to see Austin on the field in T Bird black and red when he gets home from his mission.

We really didn't get to know you and your parents until this last year. We have come to realize you are a great competitor and athlete but most of all a fine young man. I am always impressed with young men that maintain their 'mission first' priorities. It would have been fun to see you play with our son as teammates instead of opposite sides of the ball at the next level.

So anyone out there know what the latest on when we can watch this boy play football again?

I just met Austin this weekend at SUU and Google’d him, and found this article. All I can say is he is even more impressive in person! He said he has gray shirted and will play after his mission. So we all have to wait until the 2012 season. Great article about a cool guy!
