...in the portal to date, as well.
Eight 4*,
a once 5* QB
bunch of high 3/near 4* guys
20 players in total currently in the portal vs 7 + a walk on for BYU... They have to replace nearly 3 times as many guys as BYU, and they're not replacing like for like talent so far.
Breakdown of departures:
4* Cam Calhoun - CB
4* (HS 90 composite) Carsen Ryan - TE
4* (90-HS) Kaeo Akana - DE
4* (94-HS) CJ Blocker - CB
4* (91-HS) Josh Calvert - LB
4* (90-HS) John Randal - RB
4* (.8920 composite) Dijon Stanley - RB
4* (90-HS) Isaac Wilson - QB (recommitted to Utah, now rated 86 3*)
Sam Huard was once a 5* rated QB and one of the top players in the country
Also noteworthy:
Simote Pepa was a high 3* DT
Brandon Rose 88 rated QB
CJ Jacobson 88 rated TE
Vili Taufatofua was a .8850 composite (close to 4* recruit)
Anthony Woods was a 1,000+ yd rusher at Idaho
These are massive holes in Utah's roster they have to fill, and nothing they've signed yet even scratches the surface of what they need... this even partially negates their "strong" recruiting class they had
