The state of Texas has long been fertile ground on the recruiting trail for the Utah Utes football program, and the Utes’ especially strong recent tear of the state continued Tuesday.
Tuesday afternoon, safety Randon Fontenette out of Brazosport High in Freeport, Texas, announced his commitment to Utah as part of its 2023 recruiting class on Twitter.
Fontenette becomes the fourth prospect from the Lone Star State to announce his pledge to the Utes for the class of 2023 in the last eight days, joining fellow safety Johnathan Hall, cornerback CJ Blocker and defensive lineman Jo’Laison Landry.
