Earlier this year, Guthrie defensive end Kentrell Brothers received his first Division I offer when Missouri extended an offer following his performance at the U.S. Army All-American Combine in San Antonio.

This week, Brothers reveived another offer when Duke offered Brothers.

Brothers had 95 tackles, 17 sacks and 4 interceptions for the Bluejays last year. As a wide receiver on offense, Brothers racked up 1,122 yards and 12 touchdowns on 62 catches.

Some other recruiting notes:

-Duncan ATH Dominique Petties was the star of OU’s Junior Day in January, coming from seemingly out of nowhere to earn an offer from OU. Since, Petties has added offers from Missouri, Texas Tech and Tulsa.

-Heritage Hall sophomore Barry Sanders has offers from Tulsa and Texas Tech already.

-Former Muskogee DT Robert Thomas, who signed with Arkansas last year but wound up at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College, is reportedly strongly interested in Arkansas once again. Thomas, who redshirted in 2009, is likely to graduate in December and would have three years of eligibility remaining.

-Another Coffeyville DT, former Jenks standout Tony Gillespie, is also likely to draw strong Division I attention.
