Lynn Katoa, Linebacker, Commits to Buffs

Looks like Hawk 'n' Crew are puttin' their salesmen boots on and going for the jugular. The last few days netted Linebacker Lynn Katoa as a "solid verbal", according to Rivals.com. Katoa is a linebacker from Salt Lake City's Cottonwood High School. Click here for some video on this guy (the video links are located in the middle of the page).

Apparently, Katoa was returning from a visit to the Oklahoma State campus and Hawk and the herd showed up at his doorstep to sell him on CU. Looks like they succeeded. Expect him in Boulder next August. He won't even have to get accustomed to the altitude :)

Rivals.com has a ranking system of prospects - according to them, this is compiled after "thousands of hours of watching film" - that runs from a low of 4.9 (don't know anything about him or, well, he really sucks) to a high of 6.1 (top dawg). They rank Katoa at 6.0 (top 300 prospects). Basically, this puts him in the Hannibal Navies/Jordon Dizon category of linebacker we're accustomed to seeing in Boulder. Watch some video on this guy. He's fast. Good stuff.

Just one of the many up-and-comers we'll be seeing as Hawk 'n' Crew pick up the pieces from the prior 2 coaches.
