On Friday afternoon, the Utah football program secured their signal caller in the 2020 class. The No. 27 ranked dual-threat quarterback, Katravis Marsh announced he committed to the staff and intends to continue his football career playing for the University of Utah. Marsh's commitment comes on the heels of an official visit that provided him the opportunity to get a much closer look at the program he has wanted to commit to.

Marsh becomes Utah's third commitment of the 2020 class, joining Texas receiver Money Parks that committed late last season, and Ben Renfro, who committed yesterday. Marsh chose Utah over other football programs like Tennessee, UCF, and USF among many others. He's currently ranked the 27th dual-threat quarterback in the 247Sports Composite Ranking, and his 247Sports rating is currently being re-evaluated.

In committing to Utah, Marsh said he already feels pretty comfortable around Kyle Whittingham's entire coaching staff. "I feel like I have a good connection with coach. Same with ," Marsh told UteZone shortly after his trip to Salt Lake City.

Standing 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Marsh possesses great size for a mobile passer that comes from a spread-option offense at American High School, and now Miami Central. Despite the dual-threat label, Marsh is the type of quarterback that prefers to operate as a passer within the pocket first and foremost. Make no mistake though, Marsh is a solid athlete, as he's also a basketball player and competes in the long jump for track.

Marsh is planning on graduating at the mid-year point and will enroll into classes early. That will provide him the opportunity to join the football program and compete in spring camp to get a leg up on the steep learning curve moving up to the D1 level from the high school ranks.

With Utah's senior quarterback Tyler Huntley expected to finish his career this season, barring something unforeseen, that will leave an open competition for the starting job in 2020. With Drew Lisk, Jason Shelley, and Cameron Rising already in the program and a little more well-versed in the offense, the competition will be fierce, but it's an opportunity for Marsh to dive into the deep-end of college quarterback competition as a true freshman and compete for the job.
