It’s been a hot June for the University of Utah.
The Utes added yet another commitment on Monday afternoon, securing a pledge from three-star defensive back Taylan Patterson to continue their recruiting momentum.
The 6-foot, 175-pound Patterson had offers from San Diego State and Northern Arizona. Patterson is rated an 83 by Rivals.
Patterson took his official visit to Salt Lake City last weekend and was impressed enough by the program and the coaching staff to commit shortly after.
“Everyone on the staff treated me like family,” Patterson told On3’s Brandon Huffman “The culture of Utah is unmatched and they’re just good people.”
Patterson is now the 11th commit in Morgan Scalley’s inaugural class at Utah, and the fifth on the defensive side of the ball, joining safety Darrod Jacobs, safety Aiden Martin, defensive lineman Tiki Teeples and edge rusher Jack Henderson.
The Utes will wrap up a busy official visit season next week, hoping to continue adding to their 2027 class.
