I remember hearing on the LockedOn Utes podcast several weeks ago that Utah was making a late push for Akana. That surprised and excited me because I thought, as others seem to as well, that he was/is going out of state for sure. I’ve heard nothing since.
Akana may hold firm to Oklahoma (has he actually committed there or is he just predicted to?). Hunter Clegg would be another massive get for the edge position, as is Logan Fano, who just committed to transferring from BYU. I’ve heard literally nothing on Clegg since Shaw stepped down, only that Shaw leaving alone may not cause him to decommit from Stanford.
Of course, I’d love to get all three. Fano, Clegg, and Akana would be an unbelievable class for that position group and set us up on the edge for years.
Nice get. Now we need to get the other Fano and Snowden.
I would do everything we can to get Akana to flip his commitment to Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a dumpster fire and we are getting a lot of pub right now. We need to get this kid to stay in-state.
Spencer Fano plays offensive line, not defensive.
Best case scenario is Spencer Fano becomes the leader because he plays so well and is so dominant. He also ends up being one of the few defensive Heisman winners.
This kid is a massive pickup…can’t tell you how ready he is!! Top 10 Tackle in the US this year.
Great news – that’s the 2nd 4-star offensive lineman who has now committed to the Utes. Caleb Lomu from AZ being the other. We beat out Oregon and Michigan, among others, for Fano.
Fano, fano, clegg, Snowden, lyons (although lyons is out of state) calling my shot. Hopefully at least 60% accurate
I’ll take this response as he’s coming to Utah
