Video - BYU Football Target Bentley Redden: Priorities, Connections, & Decision Timeline

Bentley Redden is a BYU Football target who has seen his recruitment explode in recent months, get the latest on his recruitment.

Bentley Redden is the kind of player that coaches dream of at BYU. Redden plays both Defensive End and Tight End at a high level. His Dad, Matt Redden, was a Defensive End for BYU in early 90's. Redden is 6'5 with great athleticism - he could excel on both sides of the ball at the next level. On top of that, he has a 4.3 GPA. BYU was Redden's first offer, but schools across the country have taken notice. Redden now has 15 scholarship offers on the table. 

I caught up with Redden to get the latest on his recruitment. Redden says that some schools are recruiting him as a TE, some as a DE, and others as an Athlete. Redden grew up as a BYU fan since his Dad played for BYU. 

The most important factors in his recruitment will be:

1. Coaches that are willing to help him be a better person on and off the field
2. School that has great tradition and a family environment

BYU is in a really good spot with Redden. They were the first to offer and Coach Roderick is an excellent recruiter. As things currently stand, I think BYU holds a lead but these other schools have a lot to offer, they can't be counted out.
