  Good for him. I wish him well at USC except when he plays the Utes. The state of Utah has developed more than its share of great football talent. The likely second and third pick in the upcoming NFL draft are local kids.
  
  Go Utes!!!

  Dart’s main target was 6 ft WR Noah Kjar*** who was just named 1st team All-American (as were 5 of Alabama’s recruits). His dad is the head coach of Corner Canyon and 1 of 4 finalist for high school Coach of the Year. 3-teams have looked at Noah, Weber State, Utah State & Utah. Weber State was his only offer until today when Utah State offered.
  
  Kjar’s stats this year 97 receptions/1918 yards/22 TD/137.0 YPM
  
  Kjars career stats: 285 receptions/4951 years/50 TD
  
  Apparently he can catch a football.
  
  I don’t know if he is a Mission kid or not. But when the Utes have been losing to a number of players to out of state, would it be too difficult to offer a kid who is the son of the head coach of Utah’s top high school team?
  
  Ideas?

    If Kjar was a 1st-team All-American, why was Weber St his only offer?

        I don’t want to seem like I’m hating on him at all, but there’s a reason he only has offers from Utah State and Weber St. And he’s definitely been seen by recruiters from big schools who went to see Dart. Who cares about losing in state kids when the kid isn’t even ranked in the top 10, let alone top 20 HS kids in state? I wish him the best wherever he goes.

  System QB in HS won’t be nearly as successful in college.

      All of Kjar’s QBs put up big numbers in HS.
      Great players are great no matter where they play. Dart was average at best when he was at Roy HS.
      
      Where is Austin Kafentsis? He was another Kjar protégé
      
      Wilson was just ok under Kjar and at BYU put up big numbers against bad D’s with a veteran OL.
      
      If he goes #2 too the Jets he be out of the league in 5 years after he gets exposed as being overrated
      
      Dart will transfer from usc if he stays in La La land he’ll switch to LB

        Austin Kafentsis? Graduated
        
        Actusally Utah offered him…
        
        Wilson isn’t going to the Jets. He’s going to the Texans

        What did Austin do in college after putting up record numbers under Kjar at Jordan HS? Utah offered him as a Safety by the way.
        
        The numbers don’t lie Wilson has struggled against good defenses and if the Texans trade Watson and draft Wilson to start day 1 he’s gonna struggle…..like Ryan Leaf kinda struggles.
        
        Dart was just ok at Roy but puts up record numbers at Corner Canyon? Great players are great no matter where they are.
        
        It’s my prediction he transfers from USC if he wants to play QB in college if he plays at SC it will be as a LB
