2013 - Harrison Handley - WR/TE

[byucougar1]

From Alta HS
Sandy, Utah
Ht:6'6"
Wt:200 lbs

Received offer at BYU Elite camp today (4/14/12). Showed well at the LV 7 on 7 camp last week which team Utah won. Seems like a hybrid WR like Mitch Matthews or Marcus Matthews - has height and speed to make a difficult match-up for DBs and LBs.

Scott Collie reports that Alta's Harrison Handley was named the top receiver at Elite 11 Camp over 60 other prospects. Apparently his dad was a former player at the Y.

He committed today to UT - interesting choice as his dad played at BYU but also because he noted that academics, coaching and campus were his top criteria. Not sure how the U fits into these categories compared to the Y but surprising decision nonetheless.

This commitment only makes sense if he is trying to blaze a different path from his dad, either because he and his did have a troubled relationship and/or he is tired of living in dad's shadow, OR he is not so stable in the gospel/mission plans.

These are the only two reasons I would have chosen the U over BYU coming from a BYU family. Don't like religious environment/honor code or trying to blaze a different trail from dad.

Sounds like a big miss for us. Hopefully he changes his mind.

Presently no mission plans - play 4 years straight. Says dad 100 % behind decision.
