CB Beaver gives visit to Utah high marks 

Defensive back Brandon Beaver (Compton, Calif.) took a visit to Utah this past weekend and said he liked it a lot more than he expected. Are the Utes a serious player now?

“To be honest, I really didn’t see myself going to Utah before the trip,” Beaver said. “I was thinking mostly about Washington and Oklahoma, but Utah is right up there now too. It surprised me how great it was, and I fit in very well with everyone I met. I was comfortable there, that’s the key word for me -- I felt comfortable, and it felt like home.

“I learned a lot about the team and what kind of program they have. I got to know the coaches better, and I got along really well with the players. Ryan Lacy was my host, and he was real cool. We were hoping to go snowmobiling but there wasn’t enough snow, so we just went tubing instead, but that was a lot of fun. Utah is definitely under consideration, and I’m going to give them a strong look.”
