The past weekend was a big one for the BYU football team as it hosted recruits from across the country interested in making a career at BYU.

The biggest recruit to visit was Ofa Mohetau, listed as the top offensive guard recruit in the nation and the 12th overall recruit by ESPN's Tom Lemming.

Mohetau, from Euless, Texas, is listed at 6-foot 3-inches, 321 pounds and has been clocked running the 40-yard dash in 4.75 seconds.

Brian Soi, a highly touted defensive lineman, and Dallas Reynolds, offensive lineman and son of BYU assistant coach Lance Reynolds, came from Timpview High School to see what BYU had to offer.

Both Reynolds and Soi have reportedly made verbal commitments to BYU.

Unfortunately, BYU coaches can't confirm these reports because of NCAA restrictions that prohibit coaches from making any comments on recruiting until signing day, Feb. 5th.

Others that made the trip include offensive linemen Jason Speredon from West Valley City, R.J. Willing from Oahu, Hawaii and defensive lineman Brett Denney from Colorado, another of the Denney brothers.

Tight end Dan Van Sweden from Logan, linebacker David Nixon from Texas and safety Viliami Nauahi from Hawaii also visited BYU.

Of those mentioned that have visited BYU, Mohetau remains the only one to verbally commit to BYU.

More recruits will visit this weekend, including kicker Mitch Payne, tight end Howie Hormer and running back/linebacker Matt Ah You.
