After an explosive first half in Los Angeles Dorsey's 40-0 win over Los Angeles Jordan last Friday, the Dons got a bit of a scare when standout receiver Jaydon Mickens went down with a knee injury.Mickens scored three touchdowns for the Dons, including a 53-yard punt return to open the scoring but knocked knees with an opposing player later in the half and limped to the sideline."I'm fine now. I'll be back out there this weekend," Mickens said. "It was a little scary at first but it ended up being just a bruise so I'm doing great now and ready to go."Mickens was an early commit to USC, but always maintained he would take his official visits and said he's close to setting a few."So far this month, I've gotten calls from Cal, USC, Washington, and Arizona State," Mickens said. "I still haven't heard from Oregon. I heard they were going to get involved but I'm still waiting on that one. "I'm not sure I'll do an official visit to USC because I've been there so many times already but I'm for sure going to be taking a trip to ASU, Washington and Cal and hopefully I can do them during the season. I want to see thee schools during a game weekend to check out the atmosphere and like I said, hopefully I'll schedule these the next time the coaches call me."Washington State lands another
After landing two offensive linemen over the weekend on their official visits, Washington State landed another Wednesday night from one of the premier players in the state.Eduardo Middleton (Oceanside, Calif.) took his first and only official visit to Pullman last weekend and announced for the Cougs just a few days later."I decided I had seen enough and there was no reason to wait," Middleton said. "Washington State had everything I was looking for so I decided to shut things down and I won't be taking any more trips. My commitment is solid and I'm excited to be a Cougar."Middleton chose the Cougars over a host of offers, including fellow Pac-12 members Utah and Oregon State as well as Boise State, San Diego State, SMU, UNLV and Navy.
