Trevion Greene, a cornerback from Chabot College, a two-year community college in Hayward, Calif., visited BYU last weekend and watched the Cougars' spring scrimmage in the pouring rain.

He must have liked what he saw.

Greene on Sunday committed to play for BYU, and is expected to sign soon and join the Cougars before the 2017 football season begins.

Greene is listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds on Chabot's roster for the 2016 season. He made 23 tackles and had two pass breakups in 10 games last season. He was on the roster of the College of San Mateo in 2015.

He announced his commitment via Twitter, saying, "I would love to announce that I am committing to Brigham Young University (BYU). … Lastly, I would like to say thanks to the whole BYU coaching staff for the opportunity to be a part of the team and be great this season."

Greene graduated in 2014 from Milpitas High near San Jose, Calif., the same high school that produced current BYU running back Squally Canada. He also played receiver in high school.

It rained Monday morning in Provo, again, so the Cougars were back inside the Indoor Practice Facility for their third-to-last practice of spring camp. They will go at it again on Wednesday, then finish camp with Alumni Day and a practice, and probable scrimmage, at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Friday.

Media was not allowed to watch any parts of practice on Monday.

Coach Kalani Sitake did meet with reporters when it was over, however, and said the focus this week is on getting ready for a game week, complete with scouting an opponent and the formation of a scout team to simulate what said opponent does.

"We want to take advantage of getting our guys ready to scout an opponent, and so today we ran a Monday like a normal Monday, with an emphasis on Portland State and getting a start on everything, just so when we get to the season our guys know what to expect," Sitake said. "We have a lot of new bodies here that haven't been around the system that we run, and the scheme that we run, especially on a week getting ready for a game. We are going to approach it that way. Wednesday's practice will be more like a Tuesday or Wednesday practice during the season. We will kind of ramp it up more on Friday."

Sitake said they came out of the scrimmage fairly healthy, with no major injuries. There was a major collision between running back Ula Tolutau and defensive back Sawyer Powell that the RB got the best of, and Sitake referenced that Monday.

"Yeah, we had a couple guys dinged up, because of Ula Tolutau, but other than that [fine]. It is probably good that we haven't been live a lot of the spring, but I think we are OK. Like I said, the goal is to get better with our fundamentals and technique, and so when we are able to go live our guys have proved that they can tackle," he said.

Overall, the coach said after watching the film that he was generally pleased with the scrimmage.

"I think some of the things I thought were bad weren't really as bad. It is kind of how it happens. We improved a lot up front on both sides of the ball," he said. "I was really pleased with the practice, actually really happy with the tackling on our defense, which goes to show that the practice and the drills we were doing with little contact helped save our guys. Most of tackling is basically courage, and want-to. So those guys wanted to hit, and the first day we were able to do live work this spring they took advantage of it and were pretty solid tackling. So, good angles and they were able to leverage the ball really well, so really pleased with the way our coaches prepared those guys on the defense to tackle, and happy with some of the things we saw up front.

Tanner [Mangum] made some really great throws, kinda overshadowed by some of the couple bad decisions. But other than that, I've been really happy with him all spring. He is the leader of this team, especially on offense. We are going to need him to make big plays, and sometimes that allows him the freedom to do what he wants on offense with the throw game."
