Utah entered this week's final phase of football recruitment hoping that a running back from the recruiting hotbed of southern California or an lineman who stands a foot taller and learned to play American football in London would cap the Utes' 2018-19 effort .
Jordan Wilmore, a 5-foot-8 high school back, and Bamadeli Olaseni, a 6-8, 320-pound offensive tackle at Garden City (Kan.) Community College, have the potential to elevate Utah's class Wednesday.
If the Utes could land both Wilmore and Olaseni, then “this suddenly turns into a really good class,” said Alex Markham, publisher of Ute Nation on the Rivals network.
