Portland State University confirmed a local television report Monday that the Vikings' football program is interested in viewing game video on Fernley player Kevin Hart.
The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Hart had announced to a school assembly on Feb. 1 that he had been offered a full-ride scholarship to play football for the Unversity of California.
Five days later, Hart confirmed the offer from Cal and at least five other university football programs never occurred.
A Portland television station first reported the news several days ago. According to Mike Lund, PSU's assistant athletics director/media relations, the university has no official comment because of NCAA rules dealing with recruitable athletes.
"We can't comment on prospective recruits," Lund said.
He said coach Jerry Glanville could not comment on Hart because he was out of town.
KRNV-TV in Reno also reported the Lyon County School District may not extend Fernley coach Mark Hodges' coaching contract for next season.
Sports director Brian Samudio reaffirmed his information on Monday to the LVN and said the grounds for the decision are based on unprofessional conduct and fiscal irresponsibility.
Teresa White, Lyon County School District associate superintendent, said Monday she could not comment on Hodges' status as a coach.
John Sudsbury, Cal's media spokesman for football, said he wasn't aware of an e-mail that was sent to a Fernley coach three days before Hart announced his intentions to play for the Bears.
KRNV, though, reports an e-mail sent by offensive line coach Jim Micalczik to a Fernley coach on Jan. 29 stated no scholarship offer had been give to Hart.
