Mauro visiting Utes
Utah's home opener with UNLV will be attended by a couple of recruits, including Josh Mauro, a 6-foot-6, 230-pound defensive end/tight end from L.D. Bell in Hurst, Texas.
Mauro, who has Boise State, Baylor, Oklahoma and TCU on his list, was here in the summer for a camp and is familiar with the area, but is eager to see the Utes in action.
He watched the Utes win over Michigan.
"It was awesome," he said. "I really like the campus, coaches and they have a good football program."
Mauro said he'll probably wait until the season is over to decide.
Working in Utah's favor is that another L.D. Bell athlete, basketball player Marshall Henderson, has committed to the Utes. He's making a visit this weekend as well, said his father and coach, Willie Henderson.
"My wife and I have been out before, but we're excited to see what it's like," he said.
So far the Utes have had fairly good luck in Texas. They have a commitment from Jarrad Stewart, a safety out of Pearland, Texas and another from Eric Dago, a defensive end out of Westside High in Houston, Texas. His commitment isn't solid as he said he is still looking at other schools.
A few of the many the Utes are after in Texas include a pair of receivers at Blinn College, Justin Jordan and Travis Cobb. Cobb committed earlier then changed his mind, wanting to leave his options open.
Colby Goodwin, another tight end out of Cypress Tex-Cy Fair, is reportedly close to deciding between Duke and the Utes.
The ones that got away category includes Steven Campbell, a safety who decided on Texas A&M and cornerback/quarterback Dustin Harris who also committed to A&M.
