Utes gain Texas commitment
The Utes are hard at work in spring practice and on the recruiting front. Utah picked up a commitment from Jacoby Hale, a Beaumont, Texas linebacker who committed to the Utes even though he has yet to visit the school.

"Coach Scalley has been talking to me a lot," he said of Utah's new recruiting coordinator, Morgan Scalley. "I looked at it on the computer and they have a good chemical engineering program, which is what I want, and the surroundings look real peaceful."

Hale, who also had Texas Tech and Texas A&M in his sights at one point, hopes to visit in the spring or summer. He said the Utes No. 2 final ranking in 2008 played a big part in his decision.

"I'm not going to lie, it did," he said. "But I didn't get to see a lot of the games because I was working."

Hale is the second to commit to the Utes for 2010, joining defensive end Joe Kruger, the younger brother of Paul Kruger, who committed earlier.
