My 9th D1 offer comes from my dream school! My first college football experience was @UUtah, and it shaped me into the student and player I am! This one is huge and I’m so grateful. Thank you @CoachPowell99 and @bigfam94 and everyone at @Utah_Football for this one! #GODISGOOD https://t.co/Qn5j2WD6vm

- Here are the current 2022 Heisman odds from Atlantic City. No Tavion Thomas or Cam Rising on the list. I won’t get into it here, but some of the players with listed odds are a joke when Rising and Thomas are not listed.

- You can read what 2023 4-star QB Gabarri Johnson had to say about his unofficial visit to Utah this past weekend here. Spoiler alert: The visit went well.
- Utah offered a QB in the 2026 class. Safe to say this is probably their first offer for the 2026 class. Utah is his second offer. The first team to offer was BYU. He is the younger brother of 2023 4-star TE Walker Lyons who visited the campus a couple weeks ago.
Wow!! Blessed to have received my 2nd offer to the University of Utah!! Thank you for the opportunity. @FWhittinghamJr ‼️ #GoUtes pic.twitter.com/Qzww8dbSbV
