Offense prospects visiting UNLV this weekend

Tight end was not a prominent position in previous UNLV football coach Mike Sanford's offense.

It apparently will be under new coach Bobby Hauck.

Three tight ends are visiting this weekend, and one, Anthony Vidal of Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, Calif., already has committed.

"I'm the only (junior college) guy they're bringing into this recruiting class and giving a scholarship to," Vidal said.

Vidal (6 feet 5 inches, 240 pounds) is a Rivals.com three-star prospect.

He is one of three players to commit to the Rebels this week. Running Tim Cornett (6-0, 195) and defensive tackle Kjelby Oiland (6-4, 270) are the others. Cornett, who attends Houston's North Shore High School, is a Rivals three-star prospect. Oiland, who goes to Ferris High in Spokane, Wash., is a Scout.com two-star recruit.

As for this weekend's visitors, in addition to Vidal, the Rebels are bringing in tight ends Evan Hudson (6-6, 235) of Bothell (Wash.) High and Jordan Sparkman (6-5, 230) of Point Loma High in San Diego. Hudson is a Rivals three-star prospect and a one-star recruit by Scout.

Quarterback Cody Fajardo (6-3, 200) of Servite High in Anaheim, Calif., also is making the trip. He is rated by Rivals as a three-star prospect and the nation's No. 35 quarterback, and by Scout as a two-star recruit and the No. 130 QB. San Jose State has offered him a scholarship.

Offensive lineman Alex Lewis (6-5, 250) of Mountain Pointe High in Phoenix is listed as a three-star recruit by both recruiting services. Michigan State, Colorado and Air Force have offered scholarships.

The other visitors are offensive linemen Cameron Jefferson (6-6, 250) of Desert Oasis High and Garrett Corbett (6-5, 270) of Reed High in Sparks, and running back Dwayne Garrett (6-1, 190) of Chaparral High in Scottsdale, Ariz. Garrett is the highest-rated player among those three, receiving three stars from Rivals and two from Scout. He also has received scholarship offers from San Diego State, Colorado State, Idaho, New Mexico State and Northern Arizona. Corbett has committed to San Diego State, and Jefferson has received an offer from UNR.
