Cornerback Jason Stokes Jr. from Weiss High School in Texas has committed to play football for the Utah Utes. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound athlete announced his decision on social media, adding to a long history of defensive backs from Texas joining the Utah football program. Despite being listed as a 3-star prospect by 247 Sports, Stokes has received offers from top schools like LSU and a total of seven Power Four schools, as well as schools in the Group of Five and FCS ranks.
Stokes is the 12th prospect to commit to Utah for the 2025 recruiting class, with 10 of those commitments coming this month. This recruiting success shows the Utes’ continued ability to attract talented players from across the country, particularly in a key position like defensive back. Stokes’ commitment adds depth and talent to the Utes’ recruiting class, setting them up for success in the future.
With a strong pipeline of defensive backs from Texas, the Utah football program continues to build a successful defense that can compete at a high level. Stokes’ choice to join the Utes reflects the program’s reputation for developing strong defensive players and providing opportunities for athletes to excel. Utah fans can look forward to seeing Stokes on the field, making plays and contributing to the team’s success in the coming years.
