The 7-on-7 Passing Down Northwest regional, featuring the top club teams on the West Coast, kicks off Sunday in Portland, bringing with it many of the top prospects in Washington and California.
Hoping to use the tournament as a recruiting opportunity, both the Oregon State Beavers and Oregon Ducks are set to host dozens of athletes after the event Sunday evening and throughout the day Monday.
The headliner of that group may very well be KT Prep Elite's Austin Jones, the nation's No. 3 running back.
Early in the process, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound ball-carrier, out of Bishop O'Dowd High School (Oakland, California), is just beginning to learn about his options.
