It’s not just a must-win home game for the Utes against Arizona this weekend, it’s also a must-win recruiting period.
The Utes are hosting six prospects for official visits, two of them four-star recruits who have offers from all over the country. Receiver and cornerback are big areas for Utah to look for replacements for departing seniors. If Utah can land a handful of these players, it would dramatically improve the team’s outlook for next year.

The 5-foot-9 shifty receiver is teammates with quarterback commit Jason Shelley, and he’s been on the other end of some big stats: According to the Dallas Morning News, he’s fifth in Texas 5A with 561 yards on 48 receptions with 6 touchdowns.
