Utah’s recruiting momentum: The buzz & rising targets with 247Sports’ Collin Kennedy

Utah beat BYU — and gave some of its biggest recruiting targets a reason to picture their future in Salt Lake City.

247Sports recruiting analyst Colin Kennedy joins Steve Bartle to break down the recruiting buzz following Utah’s 28-20 Holy War victory. From a loaded in-state offensive line class to coveted quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs, where did the Utes gain ground — and which recruitments could be approaching a decision?

We discuss Morgan Scalley’s impact, Jordan Gross’ emergence as a recruiter and why prospects are talking about much more than the atmosphere at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Plus:
• Utah’s position with Noah Seufale, Samiu Taukiuvea, Taio Fano and Maui Tonata
• Why Gaige Weddle’s recruitment still has more to play out
• Momentum with Malosi Ilaoa, Eli Mortensen and the Johnson twins
• Utah’s pursuit of Dennis Tua’one and Quincey Clay
• Why quarterback Tommy Devany is a recruitment to watch
• Fine Vailahi, Kingston Stroshine and the next wave of Utah targets

Can the Utes turn a special season into a special recruiting class?
