The Utah Utes football program has been on the wrong end in recent days of a player recently signing only to change his mind and sign with another school, but the Utes have now flipped the script.

On Sunday, defensive end Nicholas Igwe announced on social media that he has committed to Utah, a decision that comes just six days after he signed with Boise State.

Listed at 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds, Igwe will join the Utes by way of Kilgore College in Texas, where he played one season before entering the transfer portal and signing with Boise State last Monday.

Igwe is originally from Houston, which is about three hours south of Kilgore.
