The Utah Utes football program got its second commitment of the weekend on Sunday.

On Saturday, 2023 prospect Mack Howard announced his pledge, and on Sunday the Utes got a pledge from a player who could help more immediately, as former Illinois State safety Clayton Isbell announced his commitment on Twitter.

Listed by Illinois State at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, Isbell had entered the transfer portal after the 2021 season and was reported to have received interest from numerous Power Five schools.

That came after a sophomore season in which Isbell totaled the 62 tackles and three interceptions.
