PROVO — How will Utah, BYU and Utah State protect the state's high school talent from outside invaders from the SEC, Pac-12, Big 12 and other Power 5 conferences?
It’s a growing trend. It was so in 2017 and on Wednesday we saw more of it during National Signing Day.
East High offensive lineman Junior Angilau signed with Texas and teammate Sam Taimani with Washington. Olympus defensive end and one-time BYU commit Cameron Latu is headed to Alabama. Washington State plucked record-setting Lehi quarterback Cammon Cooper, and Desert Hills offensive lineman Penei Sewell, one of Utah’s top-ranked players, signed with Oregon.
