BYU quarterback prospect Jake Heaps led his Skyline (Wash.) High School team to a national 7-on-7 tournament title in Metairie, La. this weekend. Heaps was named the tournament MVP in leading his team to an 11-0 record. The tournament was sponsored in part by the NFL's High School Player Development Program.
Heaps is only going to be a junior at Skyline this fall. BYU has targeted this guy as their No. 1 recruit for 2010. I think he's a more important recruit than Hawaii stud linebacker Manti Te'o in 2009. BYU can survive losing Te'o to USC but it would be more devastating to lose someone like Heaps.
By the way - when BYU plays Washington on Sept. 6 Te'o and his Punahau team will be playing a game in Seattle the same night. I intend to check him out.
