Valencia QB Graham Wilbert played a big role in the Vikings’ turnaround season and it’s good to see his performance didn’t go unnoticed by college recruiters.

Wilbert’s father told Rivals and CalHiSports.com that he has been getting attention from Bowling Green, Idaho State, Nevada, Portland State, San Diego State, Utah State and Washington. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound senior has also been invited to visit Florida Atlantic on Jan. 11-13, according to his father.

Wilbert passed for 2,725 yards and 26 TDs as Valencia overcame a 2-8 campaign in 2006 to finish 7-4-1. It’s safe to say Wilbert played a leading role in the Vikings’ return to divisional prominence.
