Gridiron Studs evaluation:
http://www.gridironstuds.com/blog/tag/kyle-abberton/
Cornerback Kyle Aberton is a gritty hard nose cornerback that will come up and smack you or just flat out take the ball away. He’s a menace to the offence and a pain in the rear for wide receivers. Watch Kyle mix it up with the opposition and make plays all over the field for Cottonwood high school.

After losing a single game (the state championship) in 2008, Aberton was quoted.
"Last year wasn't good enough," senior defensive back Kyle Aberton said. "We have to build."

Also runs track.

BYU board was saying they likely only have room for him if he walks on. http://www.cougarboard.com/nologin/message.html?id=4719360

Runner Profile

Preseason Profile (football 2009)
The Veteran:
[Coach] Thomas expects big things from defensive back Kyle Aberton, back for his fourth year. Last season, he led class 4A and 5A in interceptions and was named to the first-team all-region.
He also picked up some speed in the offseason, dropping .30 seconds off his 40-yard dash.
"As a whole, but especially on the defensive side of the ball, our team has really picked up speed," said Aberton. "Everyone who was fast last year is a whole lot faster now."

He would have been a nice PWO to add for next year. Understandable, but too bad.
