The major football recruiting hotspots for Oregon and Oregon State are up and down the West Coast of the United States.

In the future, British Columbia might have to be added to that list.

The Ducks and Beavers football camps ended last week and both camps saw Canadian athletes in attendance, hoping, just like the hundreds of U.S. campers, to improve their skills and impress the schools' coaches.

Christian Covington, an up-and-coming senior defensive end from Vancouver College, was one of 1,068 players who attended Oregon State's four-day camp.

Only bummer there is that Bo Lokombo isn't mentioned. Of course the Beavers blog doesn't give props to the redshirt frosh who's going to be all up in their grill this year!

well Bo only spent his senior year in Canada so I wouldn't say he's a Canadian player.

The quality is getting better up here. One athlete from a high school near me will be joining his former HS teammate on scholarship at Boise State next year, and more Canadian athletes are looking to go stateside, though our coaching is generally at a lower level than the States which can hurt their chances. As a football fan, I really do think it is a shame how popular hockey is, to the point that guys are still trying to live the dream when they are 18 or 19 and their ship has already sailed as far as even being an above average Junior player goes.

Exactly, it was his junior year that he was on exchange at South Eugene, right? Certainly made for a good chance to develop a relationship with the Oregon coaching staff and now we got him!
