Four-star Pima Community College linebacker Bryant Pirtle Jr. has signed with the Utah Utes in their 2018 recruiting class. Pirtle is a huge get for the Utes, and the ending of his recruitment was a bit interesting since his coach announced his commitment rather than him. The Louisville, Ky. native chose Utah over offers from local schools Kentucky and Louisville in addition to a host of other Power Five programs including Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas A&M, and Washington State among others.
Pirtle will likely play the pass rushing linebacker role in Utah’s defense.
