Utes 1st Football Recruit Since Pac-10 Move

Yesterday I posted that the since the Utes joined the Pac-10 that recruits have been calling them. Well yesterday they landed their first recruit since joining the Pac-10.

And that recruit is RB, Jarrell Oliver from Dulles High School in Texas. He is 5'9" and 185 lbs. The evaluation is provided by Scout.com and they say the following about Oliver: "good initial burst out of the blocks, he can shed the first tackle and keep going for yards. He likes to use a spin move to break away and does it effectively. He has solid speed, but not breakaway speed and is not your quick scat back type but more of a player who has some speed and some good tackle breaking moves. Also very good at cutting back on plays"

Here is a highlight of him in High School. From what I can tell he seems to be a lot quicker than he is fast. I do not see him breaking a lot big runs in college if he remains a RB but he has a really quick first step. Take a look and let me know what you think.




Another recruit that is worth mentioning is Isaac Asiata OT from Spanish Fork. He is the cousin of Matt Asiata RB of the Utes. On most recruiting websites he is a 4 star prospect. Here is a highlight video (the actual highlight does not begin until 1:15 into the video):
