Utah gained one 2016 prospect and may be losing a 2017 commit to an in-state rival
It was kind of glossed over due to the game against Michigan, but Utah landed 2016 three-star defensive back Ohaji Hawkins from Winter Haven (Winter Haven, Fla.). Given his height (6' 2"), he will draw comparisons to former Utah defensive backs like Sean Smith, Keith McGill, and Eric Rowe, who were all bigger defensive backs. At only 170 pounds, Hawkins will need to add at least 30 pounds to play in the Pac-12. Utah has an excellent strength and conditioning staff that can put plenty of good weight on Hawkins to get him bulked up.
