There will be a host of visitors at Rice-Eccles Stadium for the game between Utah and BYU tonight at 5:30 p.m. MT. Utah will have a lot of athletes that can play defensive back on campus. Defensive back will likely be a focus in the 2017 recruiting class with Brian Allen, Dominique Hatfield, and Reginald Porter all seniors this season. Two four-star players will also be at Rice-Eccles to take in the game.
Pasadena (Calif.) John Muir four-star cornerback Elijah Blades, who is currently committed to Florida, will take an official visit for the game. Blades will also visit Florida, Illinois, and Nebraska, per 247Sports.
