Badgers Haul In Solid Recruiting Class
EPHRAIM,
Utah—February 1, 2007-—Snow
College looking to build on an 11-1 season, a conference championship,
a bowl game win and a number two national ranking added some of Utah’s
best prep players in their 2007 recruiting class.
 The
Badgers added Utah Gatorade Player of the Year, in quarterback Jase
Hill. They also added 1st Team All-Stater Craig Harrison from Grantsville
at the same position. The Badgers also nabbed five offensive linemen
from the state. The running back position was solidified with the
addition of a pair of 1st Team All-Staters in Judge’s Dominuque
Parker and Grand’s Tanner Brown. Matt Harward, from American
Fork was the lone wide receiver added.
Defensively, Snow
College has few needs moving into 2007, but they were able to address
them with the addition of five defensive backs from the state of Utah
including Highland High School star, Sean Swenson who will play safety
for the Badgers. Linebacker Garland Munns, the 3-A MVP, will serve
an LDS mission before playing for Snow College.

The Badgers, like
all years, are not done with their recruiting efforts however as there
are many big recruits in the state and elsewhere that are working
towards qualifying through the NCAA. The Badgers have received commitments
from many who signed with Division I-A programs on February 7th if
they do not qualify through the NCAA clearinghouse.
Snow College, founded in 1888, serves
approximately 3,000 students at its Ephraim campus. The college provides
general education and applied technology programs leading to Associate
of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science and Associate
of Pre-Engineering degrees, and certificates of completion in a number
of occupational areas. Once
owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Snow College
became a state college in 1932.
