The University of Utah football program is on quite the recruiting hot-streak as they added yet another player to their 2020 recruiting class, when linebacker Graham Faloona of South Carolle high school in Texas announced his commitment to the Utes on Thursday afternoon.

This is another good pick up for Utah, and more specifically linebackers coach, Colton Swan who has done a lot of the legwork. "I've been talking to coach Swan the most, he's a great guy, he's been fun to talk to and I'm looking forward to hanging out with him on the campus," he told UteZone before his visit.

Faloona is currently ranked as a mid-three star linebacker in 247Sports own rankings. He holds scholarship offers from programs like Air Force, Navy, and Utah State while also hearing from other schools like SMU, Wyoming, and Nevada.

At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, Faloona sports a good, long frame with the potential to add a good amount of mass while maintaining his athleticism. That added muscle will be crucial for him as well, as it will help him become a bit more explosive. He has the makings of a player that will see increased interest during his senior season, particularly playing at the 6A level in Texas football.

Faloona joins the program as a linebacker, in the mold of former Ute, Cody Barton. A football player through and through, he brings quite a bit of toughness and nastiness to the field. He will join a group of linebackers next season that includes Trennan Carlson, Devin Lloyd, Sione Lund, Christian Folau, Andrew Mata’afa, and Quinn Fabrizio.

Faloona becomes the fifth commitment overall and the first linebacker in Utah’s 2020 recruiting class. He joins other players wide receiver Money Parks, defensive back Ben Renfro, quarterback Katravis Marsh, and safety Kamo'i Latu.
