LAYTON — Many top Utah high school football players are committing to programs out of state.
But Layton two-sport star Julian Blackmon has decided to stay home — and he only needed one offer.
The senior-to-be defensive back committed to assistant coach Morgan Scalley and Utah on Monday morning, the teenager told KSL Sports.
It's a chance to play for his dream school.
"I was actually speechless when they offered me," Blackmon said. "I didn't know what to say. I just said, 'Thank you so much, coach; you don't know how much I appreciate it.
