SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah football team is bolstering their roster ahead of the 2022 season as they sign high school prospects and transfers.

Utah will complete their 2022 recruiting class by signing the remaining prospects that didn’t submit their NLI during the early signing period in December. The Utes signed 20 prospects back in December.

Here is the recruits that Utah has signed after receiving their NLI as a part of their 2022 class:

Sidney Mbanasor, Wide Receiver

Mbanasor is a three-star wide receiver from Pflugerville, Texas. He is listed by 247Sports as a tight end, which has him ranked as the 100th prospect in the state of Texas and the No. 35 tight end in the nation. Mbanasor received offers from Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, Louisiana Tech and Morgan State, before verbally committing to Utah on Tuesday.

His brother P.J. used to play at Louisville as a cornerback and has another brother, Nelson that is a defensive lineman at Texas Tech.

Utah Football Signing Preferred Walk-Ons

The Utes went out and found some talented players in the state of Utah and around the country that are willing to join the program and prove themselves as a walk-on. Luke Hyde is a standout wide receiver that spent the first part of his high school career at Woods Cross before transferring to Lone Peak, where he won a state title in 2021. Hyde finished the 2021 season with 41 receptions for 551 yards and seven touchdowns.

Jacob Edmonds is an inside offensive lineman from Vacaville High School in California. According to 247Sports, he is a two-star recruit that will work for a scholarship at Utah.

Spencer Clegg is a middle linebacker from American Fork High School. As the anchor of the Cavemen defense, Clegg finished the 2021 season with 47 tackles, three sacks and a pick-six.

James Allemann is a tight end from Dana Hills High School in Dana Point, California.

Jett Meine is a standout wide receiver from Corner Canyon High School. Despite receiving offers from Air Force, Bucknell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Northern Colorado, Pennsylvania and Southern Utah, Meine decided to join the Utes as a preferred walk-on. Meine caught 75 passes for 1,450 yards and 15 touchdowns this season for the Chargers.

Helaman Ofahengaue is a linebacker from Lehi High School. He finished with 69 tackles and 11 sacks during the 2021 season.
