PORTLAND, Ore. — A Nevada high school football lineman who lied about signing a letter of intent with California reportedly has drawn the interest of Portland State University.

FOX-TV Channel 12 in Portland is reporting that PSU football coaches have called Kevin Hart's Fernley High School near Reno requesting film footage.

Hart told a Feb. 1 school assembly that he would sign a letter of intent with Cal. But Cal never recruited him, nor did anyone else.

Hart had originally claimed that he had been duped into believing that both Cal and University of Oregon were recruiting him but later admitted it was a lie.

His grandfather, George Hart, said Kevin Hart is a good kid who made a bad mistake.

Portland State is coached by former University of Hawaii defensive coordinator Jerry Glanville.
