The Utah Utes went 1-for-2 in its recruiting of Blinn Community College receivers in Brenham, Texas. A day after one receiver, Justin Jordan, turned down the Utes and orally committed to UAB, the Utes received an oral commitment from his teammate, Travis Cobb.
Cobb orally committed to the Utes earlier then changed his mind and kept looking. He narrowed his list to UAB, Arizona and Utah before giving the Utes another commitment Tuesday.
"I was ready for coaches to stop calling and get it over with," Cobb said of his commitment. "It's nice knowing where I'm going so I don't have to think about it anymore."
The 6-foot, 180-pound Cobb is the 10th oral commitment the Utes have received for their 2009 class. He is the third receiver to commit, joining C.J. Porter out of Concord, Calif., and Jamal Smith out of Oxford, Calif.
Cobb said he considered going to UAB with his teammate, but ultimately decided on the Utes because it is the same offense he is in now and because the Utes are a Top 25 program.
"I want to see different places too," he said. "I'm from North Carolina and I'm in Texas now, so I want to see a lot of places."
