I-Ridge's Laurita invited to Nike football camp 

Ironwood Ridge’s 6-4, 245 pound junior lineman Chase Laurita, who, like Holt, is a Pac-12 prospect, has been invited to the Nike football camp June 14 in Eugene, Oregon. Laurita has a good football DNA. His father, Al Laurita was an offensive lineman on Oklahoma’s powerhouse teams of 1985-87 under Barry Switzer. Chase’s father began his post-OU days on working for the DEA in Oklahoma and is now a special agent with the DEA in Tucson.
