Twitter rumors say that Bryant Pirtle is a Ute.

[UteFanatic]

Absolutely HUGE get if the rumor turns out to be true. 4-star LB with offers from tons of P5 schools. Rated as the #1 JuCo LB.

Apparently his JuCo coach tweeted it before he could announce it. I bet he feels like an ass. 

[NarfUte]

Bryant* Pirtle. Yep, his coach tweeted it.

 

Same coach also tweeted Haki Woods will be a duck – Hate that he’s putting the scoop ahead of the player

[UteFanatic]

Fixed. Thanks.

[FtheY]

This says he’s ours.

His name seems to have been removed from that list as of today.

[gUrthBrooks]

I wonder if they’ll use him as the DE / LB hybrid like Trevor Reilly

[RiseasUtes]

He is a violent edge rusher so I would imagine he will play a role similar to that.  Should help us get those sack #s up next season.  The guy has some fun tape to watch.

this is a maybe the biggest missing piece we needed for our run at a conference championship next season.

[UteThunder]

Any relation to Jakob?

[Tony (admin)]

You beat me to that one… 

[Utah]

Would he be here for spring ball? Is he a two or three year guy? Players need a couple of camps before they really explode. Remember that about JuCo players. Don’t expect much year 1. Hopefully they explode year 2. 

[EagleMountainUte]

Well some exceptions obviously being a certain LT playing for the Donks. Not sure where this kid is projected at all but there is a possibility of immediate impact. 

[Utah]

Yup. And there is always an exception. Luafatasaga is more the norm. And McGill. And Rowe. And I could go on forever. 

To expect a JC kid to step in day one…is how you get disappointed. 

[rbmw263]

Eric Rowe was a frosh All American at Utah. not JC.

[Justin]

He will be a 2 for 2 guy and yes he will be an early enrollee. So hopefully he can get a ahead of the curve sooner.

Utah seems to do well with Pirtles.
