The Utes have officially signed Taniela Pututau, the third Pututau to sign with the Utes, out of Cottonwood High School in SLC. The three-star rated wide out/safety, by 24/7 Sports, is expected to go on a mission, just like his brothers before him. Pututau is the younger brother of Howard and Fua Pututau. Howard served an LDS Mission and will join the Utes this season. Fua committed to Utah as part of their 2016 recruiting class before heading on an LDS Mission.
Pututau had offers from all over the Mountain West, as well as BYU, Oregon State and Colorado.
