Need-to-know info about LDS prospects as Texas' recruiting footprint expands west

I wanted to piggyback off Joe Cook’s article on Burley (Idaho) Burley Senior wide receiver Gatlin Bair, as well as the report Eric Nahlin had on Laguna Beach (Calif.) tight end Ryner Swanson. Both athletes are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints which is commonly referred to as the Mormon or LDS Church. I, myself, am a Mormon so I fully understand how these prospects were raised, what they believe, and what’s important to them.
