Utah football: DE Maxs Tupai signing is big addition to 2016 class

In case you missed it — and I'm assuming not many of you did — the Utes signed the last member of their 2016 recruiting class on Wednesday afternoon which bumped up the class as a whole.

Maxs Tupai, a four-star defensive end recruit out of Murray High, picked the Utes over reported finalists Oklahoma and UCLA.

Most of his recruiting was a mystery, including his late signing. Utah football released a video of coaches screaming in celebration at the Periscope feed of Tupai's announcement, so that seemed to be a surprise, too.

Safe to say the defensive staff was excited when newest signee Maxs Tupai made his announcement today.
