Utah is coming off their first ten win season in the Pac-12, a feat accomplished by a roster full of seniors and upperclassmen. In order to maintain the momentum Utah football has built in the past two seasons, this year’s recruiting class was vital. Utah has some big losses at key positions next season and filling those needs was paramount with this recruiting class.
Gone is the entire starting linebacking corps of Gionni Paul, Jared Norris and Jason Whittingham. On offense there will be a major overhaul. Devontae Booker moves on after a stellar collegiate career, Utah’s most reliable receiver Kenneth Scott graduates and Utah’s most dynamic receiver, Britain Covey, leaves for his mission.
