The Utah football program's first experience with December's early signing period produced a celebrated quarterback, but no coach's news conference last year.
Ute coach Kyle Whittingham will address the media Wednesday, although he probably won't have a quarterback to discuss.
Whittingham's plans are meaningful, in this sense: Utah is joining the national trend of making December the more significant window, as the “traditional [February] signing date is going to be very anticlimactic,” Whittingham said Monday.
In the Utes' 2018 recruiting class of 21 high school and junior college players, only seven athletes signed last December. The initial list featured quarterback Jack Tuttle, who left the program in mid-October and this week transferred to Indiana.
