Nurse committed to Utah without taking an official visit, but he said he'd been in contact with the coaching staff, particularly defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley, since late winter. Nurse especially appreciated the interest the staff took in his academic progress.
"I just committed because Coach Scalley is a great person," said Nurse, who didn't take an official visit. "He's a very loving and caring person. He stuck with me throughout this whole recruiting process, basically trying to make me feel like one of his own or one of Utah's own. That's the thing that really made me commit.
