The Utah Utes football program has been successful this week in getting commitments from three transfer players, but on Sunday it got one from the high school ranks.

Jeilani Davis, a safety in the Class of 2024 from national power Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, California, announced his commitment to the Utes on social media.
