Houston WR trio narrowing choices

Spring (Texas) Westfield High School had a trio of receivers in 2008, who have all been offered by Division I programs. That is another sign that the days of grind-it-out, run-oriented football in the Lone Star State is being phased out.
Inside receiver Adam Watson caught 41 passes for 772 yards in 2008 and was an all-district selection again. The 5-foot-10 Watson had offers from Portland State, Sam Houston, Lamar and the University of New Mexico. He committed to New Mexico Wednesday afternoon.

Teammate Barry Ford was sidelined for much of the season with a high ankle sprain, but still holds offers from schools like Western Michigan and Lamar.
"It was cold up on the visit to Western Michigan but I think I'm going to end up there," he said. "I liked the coaches and enjoyed seeing them play in the Texas Bowl in Houston against Rice. I should make it official in the next few days."
The Mustangs' leading receiver was 6-foot-3 Ja-Mes Logan, who caught 45 balls for 793 yards and 11 touchdowns. Logan has n arrowed his choices to Oklahoma State, Ole Miss and Missouri.
"Oklahoma State just offered today as their only receiver in this class," he said. "That is pretty cool. I'm going to take a visit there on January 16th before making any sort of decision."
