SoCal RB sets two more visits

Lynwood (Calif.) running back Leilyon Myers had a visit lined up with Colorado this past weekend but didn't make it. He does have two other trips he just recently set including one to a school in the NW that looks like a heavy leader right now.

Myers, 6-0, 190 pounds is one of the top backs in the West Coast. He battled through various injuries all year but still rushed for 999 yards and 11 touchdowns including 181 yards and two scores in the teams 1st round playoff loss to powerhouse Notre Dame, Sherman Oaks.

Myers is also a talented defensive back who could play safety or corner in college. He finished the year with 48 tackles and also had a 99 yard kickoff return for a score on the year.

"I want to play running back in college and that's really where everyone is recruiting me right now," Myers said. "I didn't make it to Colorado but I might try and get out there for their banquet weekend in December. I'm going to visit Washington this weekend (Dec. 2) and Boise State is set up for (Dec. 16).

My top five right now is Washington, Colorado, Boise State, Cal and Utah and all but Cal have offered. I already visited Utah and liked it a lot. It was a good place and I like the coaches and the players on the team. Washington leads for me right now, they have everything I'm looking for. I'm looking for a school that is in a good environment that will put school first and football second and that is how Washington has been recruiting me so far.

"I like Coach Willingham a lot and think he would be a guy I would like to play for. Location wise, Washington is a good fit as well because I want a place that isn't real city like, but still has things to do and that's how Seattle is. I'm hoping to make my decision around Christmas."
