Heard already received an offer from the University of Washington but is still considering his options.
I tried to dig up some scouting news about Heard and I found the 2009 Scout.com Northwest Hot 100 list. Heard is ranked No. 50, the best among local players. Kamiak linebacker Marcel Seely is No. 51.
The other area athletes on the Hot 100 list are Lynnwood DE/RB Geoff Meinken (No. 64) and Mountlake Terrace DB/RB/WR Billy Lechtenberg (No. 99).
According to Scout.com and several other reports, Meinken (6-foot-4, 250 pounds) has verbally committed to Washington State University.
