Palm Desert's Bateman commits to BYU

Palm Desert cornerback Trevor Bateman has committed to Brigham Young University, reported scout.com.

"I love BYU," Bateman told the Web site. "I always wanted to play for BYU growing up and when they offered me I was sort of shocked, but obviously very excited to have the opportunity to play for and attend such a great school."

Bateman (5-11, 180) is also a standout running back/wideout. As a cornerback, he had 70 tackles and four interceptions.

The Web site reported that Arizona and UNLV also offered him scholarships, but that he naturally leaned toward BYU because both of his parents went there.
