Utah Lands Top Idaho OT Kelvin Obot

The Utah Utes football program secured a commitment from four-star offensive tackle Kelvin Obot, the top-ranked prospect in Idaho for the class of 2026 and among the highest-rated recruits in Utah history. Obot, who excelled in both football and track and field, chose Utah over Oregon, Michigan, and Nebraska, strengthening the Utes' future offensive line as they prepare for the likely departures of key players Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu. His commitment comes alongside Utah's recent addition of local standout cornerback Anthony Hernandez, giving the Utes two of the top three players in Idaho for this recruiting cycle. These acquisitions further reinforce Utah's strong reputation for developing talent under its coaching staff. Meanwhile, Oregon continues to bolster its recruiting class with significant flips from other programs despite missing out on Obot. The moves underscore an increasingly competitive Pac-12 recruiting landscape as top programs vie for elite prospects.
