As a high school senior, Riley Nelson accounted for 84 touchdowns and over 4,000 yards passing.

Nelson, who played at Utah State as a true freshman, is serving an LDS mission in Spain. But according to Scout.com, Nelson's family contacted BYU about a transfer and the record-setting quarterback will come to Provo when he returns from his mission in March of 2009.

Also according to Scout.com, BYU has offered a scholarship to Nelson. At Logan High School, Nelson was a Parade All-American and Mr. Football for the state of Utah. He holds nine state records including career total touchdowns (130), career passing touchdowns (79), season completions (277), season passing yards (4,041), season passing touchdowns (53), season total touchdowns (84) season total yards (5,815), single game completions (38) and single game touchdown passes (seven).

At Utah State, the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder competed in eight games, completing 55 percent of his passes for six touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 290 yards.

Nelson will arrive at BYU in time for spring football in 2009, which will precede current starter Max Hall' s senior season. Nelson will have four years to play three, with a redshirt year available if he so chooses.
