Richard Brehaut has flown underneath the radar of football scouts for a while now. But the lack of attention from the powers that be could very well end up becoming a thing of the past, considering all the recognition the junior from Los Osos has been receiving lately.

The 6-foot-2 quarterback picked up his first offer, from San Diego St., in March. Soon after, Boise St. and Colorado followed suit. Not surprisingly, Arizona and Washington St. joined in on the Brehaut sweepstakes last week. All of a sudden, there are plenty of programs waiting for a commitment.

An offer from Arizona St. looms as a possibility, and Purdue and Notre Dame are rumored to have been in contact with him. UCLA is interested, too, so don’t be surprised to see the Bruins step up their efforts to land Brehaut, who can no longer be considered an afterthought on the recruiting landscape.
