This early signing day brought plenty of pre-Christmas cheer to Utah, Utah State, and BYU — depending on what they were looking for.

For the Aggies and Cougars, it was numbers and size in this first-ever early signing day experience.

The biggie for Utah was the expected signing of long-time loyal quarterback recruit Jack Tuttle from Mission Hills High in San Marcos, California. Tuttle, an Elite 11 quarterback with big-time offers and hype is simply the most recognized athlete at that position Utah has ever encountered. It would be safe to say the attention paid to Tuttle and his résumé, film, record, offers and general interest is 50 times more than Alex Smith ever got.
