U. recruit goes to Fresno State
A three-star recruit (Rivals.com) who visited Utah in November has orally committed to Fresno State, several recruiting Web sites are reporting today.
Rashad Evans, a quarterback and cornerback from Logan High in Union City, Calif., phoned Fresno State coach Pat Hill with his decision Sunday night, according to both Barkboard.com and RedWaveReport.com.
Utah was recruiting Evans as a receiver/athlete. It is not certain whether the offer the Utes made to Evans in November was still on the table because the Utes in recent weeks have received commitments from several similar-position players, including junior college receiver Aiona Key and Las Vegas prep quarterback Devonte Christopher. Also, in December the Utes signed Lamar Chapman, a junior college defensive back from El Camino J.C. in Torrance, Calif.
At one point or another in the recruiting process, Evans had received offers from Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Oregon, UNLV and Cal, along with Utah and Fresno State.
The 5-foot-10, 165-pounder threw for 233 yards and three touchdowns, but rushed for 1,406 yards and 18 touchdowns on just 120 carries.
Meanwhile, several recruiting sites say Utah, BYU and Fresno State are neck-and-neck in the unofficial race to have the best recruiting year among non-BCS schools. Boise State, which tends to make a big run at the end of the process, is also right there.

My colleague at the Tribune, Steve Luhm, was able to get a few tidbits regarding Utah State's football recruiting.
The Aggies might not be done with their junior college recruiting. They are looking for another defensive lineman and a wide receiver with speed to help replace Kevin Robinson.
The Aggie will have about 12 players in for visits the next three weekends.
