It's become a tradition at the Heaps family dinner for him to open his recruiting mail, which lately has included handwritten Christmas cards from Division I coaches. Each night, his mom files them away.
Before the season, his recruiting mail fit in a single file folder. Now it fills a whole file cabinet. He has 18 Division I scholarship offers, and the most high-profile programs such as USC and Florida often do not make offers until after they sign the current senior class. Other colleges want to see him in person before they make an offer.
Speculation has gone beyond rampant. Does Heaps want to stay close to home and try to rescue the Huskies? Is he interested in the Mormon tradition of BYU? Does the long football history of Notre Dame entice him? The answers are yes, yes and yes again. He plans on taking unofficial visits on most weekends next semester to get closer looks.
"It's going to be a fun process for me, and go out there and visit all these schools I dreamed about visiting," Heaps said.
His time is short. He wants to pick a school by the start of his senior season, and like many elite prospects, Heaps might try to graduate from Skyline a semester early and enroll in college in January 2010 to be a part of spring camp.
Heaps is devoting this offseason to getting college-ready. He has coverages to learn, techniques to fine-tune and weight to gain. He is on a more-than-4,000-calorie diet to try to put on 15 to 20 pounds before next fall.
"I don't want to go to a college and be overwhelmed physically," he said.

It will take an awful lot to get Heaps here...I think he is a lock for BYU. And he is planning on taking a two-year Mormon mission after his freshman year.
Here is a good article:
blogs.sltrib.com - The Recruiting Trail by Jay Drew & Lya Wodraska
"BYU is recruiting me pretty heavily right now," he said. "Since I am LDS, it was easy to offer me for BYU. But they said they were really intrigued by how I played, and how poised I am in the pocket for a sophomore."
Heaps, incredibly well-spoken for a sophomore, said he is "probably" going to go on an LDS Church mission and has told all the schools that have talked to him that he could be leaving after his freshman year.
"That's one of the first questions I get asked: ‘Are you going on a mission?'" he said. "Schools want to know. It is totally understandable."
