Tribune Blogs -- The recruiting trail

Richard Wilson, the tight end from Spanish Fork who now has eight college scholarship offers, will probably make his college decision during his senior season, he said Saturday after taking the ACT college admission test.

Wilson, who carries a 3.8 GPA, said he did OK on the test, but struggled on the science portion of the ACT.

He recently returned from a camp at Boise State with an offer from that school on Sunday night, and on Wednesday, the Washington Huskies threw their hat into the ring.

Wilson said he now has eight offers: LSU, Miami, BYU, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, Boise State and Washington.

Rivals.com lists him at 6-foot-3 and 224 pounds, while Scout.com says he taller and lighter than that.

I asked Wilson if, a few months ago when he got that fiirst offer from BYU, he ever believed the likes of LSU and Miami would seek his services.

"Never," he said. "It has been crazy."

Wilson said he will attend LSU's camp and BYU's non-padded camp next week, and maybe catch Utah's June 23-24 camp for a day.

"I don't have a favorite, really," he said. "I am just trying to find the place where I fit best. I want to go to a place where I am going to play, and where they are going to use me. Those are the biggest issues, right there."

He said every school is recruiting him to be a tight end, "which I like."

Is this another local big-time recruit who seems to be slipping away from the Utes and/or Cougars?

"I am pretty close to all the coaches at BYU and a lot at Utah," he said. "But in the end I got to do what is best for me."
