-Here's the blurb on Sione Heimuli-Lund. Sounds like he could decide earlier than initially thought. (Or earlier than he indicated in our conversation a few days back.) Stanford's the huge leader here.
Four-star inside linebacker Sione Heimuli-Lund recently visited Arizona State and returned home with a great impression of the Sun Devils after getting to meet head coach Todd Graham. Yet, the early Rivals100 member for the 2017 class admitted Stanford holds a considerable lead over every other program that has extended a scholarship offer.
The 6-foot, 230-pound prospect from Salt Lake City (Utah) Brighton doubles as a bruising power back and the Cardinal have told him they could use him on the offensive side, too. Heimuli-Lund is set to visit California and Stanford for the first time this coming weekend and, if everything feels right, he said he would consider making a commitment to the Cardinal. Arizona, Nebraska and Wisconsin are a few of the schools that have dropped by during the spring evaluation period, and Heimuli-Lund said he might camp with UCLA and USC this summer.
-And a blurb on a potential summer camp prospect, Bryce Mortensen
Stanford and assistant coach Lance Anderson appear to be getting more involved with Smithfield (Utah) Skyview outside linebacker Max Christensen, who has plans to camp with the Cardinal this summer. Oregon State and Washington have also stopped by during the spring evaluation period to check on the 6-foot-3, 220-pound prospect, so the Pac-12 interest is building.
Christensen, who had 60 total tackles and nine sacks as a junior last season, has offers from Air Force, Nevada and Wyoming, but Boise State could be the wild card. He has been in communication with defensive line coach Steve Caldwell there, attended the Broncos' junior day and has a family connection to the school, with his father being a graduate and his grandmother living near the campus.
Also, here's the review of Sione-Lund's performance, albeit on defense. He was the top player at the event:

Though the early Rivals100 member is known for doing the dirty work inside the hash marks, he's more than capable in coverage on the perimeter. Heimuli-Lund moved well to keep up with opponents out of the backfield and showed good closing speed. He's a smart defender that recognizes plays before the snap and that is evident given his ability to anticipate where the ball is headed.
