Football: Brighton DT Ricky Heimuli signs with Oregon

One of the top five high school football prospects in the state of Utah, Brighton’s Ricky Heimuli, DT, has signed with the University of Oregon.

Heimuli made the announcement just minutes ago at a news conference at his school.
The 6-foot-2, 294-pounder rated four starts from Scout.com and chose Oregon over Utah, Washington and UCLA.

Heimuli also had interest in BYU, but a few weeks ago BYU coaches told him they no longer had a scholarship available for him unless he first goes on a church mission, or unless another player de-commits.

Heimuli said one of the deciding factors was his relationship with Oregon’s defensive line coach.
He said he plans to play for Oregon for a year, then leave on an LDS Church mission.
