Notes: Desert Pines football player eager to sign with Charlotte

Desert Pines senior running back Jamel Brown is set to sign a national letter of intent to play for the University of Charlotte — four weeks after receiving the scholarship offer from the Conference USA program.

NOTES: Return to running back suits Christian Marshall just fine

Christian Marshall returned to running back after being injured in a season-opening loss and will carry a streak of five consecutive games with at least 100 rushing yards into Friday’s Class 4A Sunset Region semifinal against top-ranked Bishop Gorman.

NOTES: Desert Pines linebacker Fields tackles recruiting with gusto

Tony Fields, a 6-foot-2-inch, 205-pound linebacker, has been one of the area’s most heavily recruited players this spring. He has 19 scholarship offers — Northwestern was the most recent on April 30 — and his family has racked up plenty of hotel points over the past month and a half making unofficial visits on the weekends.

NOTES: Several locals on the move during spring recruiting

The spring combine season is in full swing, and that means prep football players across the country are trying to impress college coaches without actually putting on pads and helmets.
