Nice pickup for the utes. I'm pretty sure BYU offered, as well. Doesn't he play the Mike? Or is he outside?

Outside, but he may bulk up to play rush end. At 6-4 he has the frame for some additional weight.

I am surprised this hasn't come up yet.

Harrison Handley has committed to Utah...this is a bit of a shocker considering he plays TE and his father played at BYU

The pendulum certainly seems to be swinging Utah's way right now with the local recruits.

Whittingham seems to have played with a lot of these kids dads. Most of these kids Utah is getting right now grew up Utah fans. It's not that surprising considering that.

I think BYU is landing a lot of local talent but it appears Utah is getting the cream of the crop.

They sure do. Handley wasn't super hyped but showed well in the camps. He wasn't super highly recruited for the longest time usu and byu were his only options but byu wanted him bad. Losing him and probably shipley hurts.
I think handley is a guy like Chase hansen where if all things were equal byu should have gotten them. I expect more of this.

Xavier Shepherd, a WR from Lakewood HS in CA has committed to Utah.

He had offers from AZ, Cal, CU, OrSU and UCLA.

Rumors are the Sean Barton will be announcing his decision in the very near future. He's apparently narrowed it down to UW, Stanford and the U.

This is the trend I expected in recruiting for Utah when the Pac-12 invite came. This is probably a guy that only comes to Utah due to Pac-12 affiliation. That said, he presumably takes the spot of someone that Utah could very well have been competing with BYU for......some in-state kid.

Utah seems to taking a fair number of in-state kids, too, this year.

Is this unusual?

Oh brother.

It was a response to LACoug's comment that perhaps this would leave more in-state kids to BYU.

[Scorcho]

Utah WR's are rarely in-state kids.

I think the last great Utah WR from in state was Kevin Dyson
