New Mexico: Utah got the #1 player, three-star TE Connor O’Toole, and there were only four rated recruits in the state. Utah: Oregon got the only five-star, the little brother of a current Duck. But Utah dominated otherwise, signing four of the top five.
Winning the in-state recruiting battle is everything for Utah football. Look at all the biggest programs. I didn’t look super hard, but I didn’t see any program that won more than two states. We are doing a good job recruiting. If we can continue to lock down Utah, as well as poaching a few highly rated kids from other states, we are going to continue the upward trajectory.
