Corner commits to Utes
The Utah Utes picked up the first of what could be a package recruiting deal from Compton College, Calif. Maxwell Lacy, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound corner, committed to the Utes Friday.
Lacy also held offers from San Jose State and Kansas State.
Lacy said he decided on the Utes partially because of the success the program is having this year and also because his childhood friend is current Utah corner Sean Smith.
"We played together growing up and kept in touch," he said.
Lacy said his commitment was firm, although he wasn't going to close any doors just yet.
"Arizona State said they were going to offer later, but right now I'm committing to Utah," he said. "I want to see how they can finish. They started strong. I want to see if they can finish strong."
Lacy's decision may sway his teammate Reggie Dunn, a 5-10, 185-pound receiver, when he decides the college of his choice. Dunn signed with Oregon State out of high school but didn't qualify academically.
"We've always talked about going as a package deal," Lacy said. "Being a receiver, he's got a lot of options right now."
Lacy's commitment gives the Utes 11 toward their 2009 signing class.
Word has it that 6-2, 285-pound defensive tackle Siosaia Tuipulotu from Euless Trinity H.S. in Texas has given a commitment to the Utes, although I haven't been able to confirm that yet.
He'd be a good get for Utah and an interesting one since he grew up playing rugby and has been playing football for only two years.
Here is Utah's list to this point:
Vyncent Jones, 6-3, 270-pound offensive lineman out of Jordan High
Jarrad Stewart, 5-10, 180-pound safety out of Pearland, Texas
Chris Brown, 6-1, 185-pound running back out of Newbury Park, Calif.
C.J. Porter, 6-1, 185-pound receiver out of Concord, Calif.
Jamal Smith, Oxford, Calif., 6-2, 185-pound receiver out of Oxford, Calif.
Eric Dago, 6-foot-4, 210-pound defensive end out of Westside High in Houston, Texas
James Aiono, Snow College, 6-3, 275-pound defensive end out of Murray High, now at Snow College
Colby Goodwin, a 6-foot-5, 202-pound tight end out of Cypress, Texas
Chris Washington, 6-foot-2, 195-pound safety out of Northridge High
Travis Cobb, 6-foot, 180-pound receiver out of Blinn Community College in Brenham, Texas
Maxwell Lacy, 6-3, 210-pound corner out of Compton College, Calif.
