National Signing Day may have come and gone, but its effects are still being felt. Take for the example the many national stories grading the results.
CBSSports, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report… the list goes on and on of publications that set out to grade Wednesday’s finalized recruiting classes.
The Utah Utes made a few of the publications, as did the Utah State Aggies.
ESPN gave Utah a C-grade for their 61st ranked class, noting that “the Utes continue to win games and add solid, need-filling players on the recruiting trail. Offensive line was a key position of need in the 2019 cycle, and the staff responded with ESPN JC 50 OT Bamidele Olaseni; three-star OGs Sataoa Laumea and Marist Talavou; and three-star OTs Luke Felix-Fualalo and juco LaColby Tucker.
