The NCAA quiet period for college football recruiting opened on May 30 and runs through June 23, allowing universities across the country to host recruits for official visits.
There’s still quite a few months until early signing day for the class of 2025, which will be on Dec. 4, 2024, but Utah’s class is slowly taking shape.
The Utes have commitments from three high school players, and four returned missionaries from the class of 2023 who will also be part of the 2025 class.
Here’s a look at Utah’s 2025 class so far, and some of the key prospects who are visiting this month.
