Utah secured its third commitment of the week on Wednesday evening as Corner Canyon lineman Jackson West announced his decision to stay in-state and play for Morgan Scalley.
West, a 6-foot-5, 244-pound three-star, played offensive tackle last season as the Chargers won their third 6A state championship in a row.
He took his official visit to Utah last weekend and wasted no time committing to the Utes, choosing the in-state school over Iowa State.
Though West has experience on the offensive side of the ball, he will likely play on the defensive line instead for Utah, committing as a defensive end.
West’s athleticism stands out. His commitment post shows him doing a backflip at midfield at Rice-Eccles Stadium, and he boasts a 35-and-a-half inch vertical and 4.75-second 40-yard dash time, per his X account.
West’s commitment brings Utah to 15 commits in the 2027 class.
