It’s not surprising to see almost all of the state’s top players commit to BYU, Utah, Utah Valley and Weber State. In fact, all but two of the state’s reported commits as of Aug. 10 are staying in state. Still, this is an area worth watching — just in case some of these players are interested in leaving the area.
