Notes: Guthrie's Blake Belcher on the move, in-state recruiting camp this month

Though the football recruiting class of 2012 is still heating up, one prospect for the 2013 class is already starting to make his name.

Lawton sophomore defensive end D.J. Ward picked up his first offer as Texas A&M offered Ward earlier this week.

Ward was helped out in getting notice with how deep and talented last year’s Wolverines squad was. Lawton went 12-1 and lost to eventual champion Tulsa Union in double overtime in the semifinals.

Ward is 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds.

Belcher with five offers

Guthrie football coach Rafe Watkins knew it was only a matter of time before the recruiting interest started to pick up for offensive lineman Blake Belcher.

Watkins was right. Belcher has picked up two offers in the last week to give him five from three different conferences.

The Pac-10 has been the biggest supporter of Belcher as Oregon State, Stanford and Arizona have offered the junior.

Belcher, 6-foot-6 and 271 pounds, has also been offered by Iowa State and Tulsa. He is No. 6 on The Oklahoman’s Super 30 for 2012.
