Lancaster (Calif.) Paraclete athlete Melquise Stovall took his second official visit of the year this past weekend when he checked out Utah.
Former USC commit Melquise Stovall hasn't wasted much time being pro-active on the recruiting front. He has already visited Notre Dame and checked out Utah this past weekend.
"I had a lot of fun, it was a great trip," Stovall said. "The game, watching them play against ASU was the best part of the visit for me. I loved the game atmosphere, the crowd was really in to it and we got to see a great game.
"It was a little cold and rainy but that didn't bother me, I was very comfortabe there. I like the offense at Utah and feel I would fit in really well there. They said they want me 80% as a slot and 20% at running back and that's how I would like to be used. I loved the facilities too, the whole campus was nice but the football facilities were really nice and top of the line all around."
Stovall said he bonded well with the players and coaches on the trip.
"I like the coaching staff at Utah a lot," Stovall said. "Coach Stubblefied, the WR Coach, is my primary recruiter and he's a great guy and I like Coach Whittingham a lot as well. Tyler Cooperwood was my host and all the guys on the team treated me really well.
"It was a lot different from the Notre Dame visit. That was a great visit too and my first time in the Midwest but I liked it a lot at Utah and felt very comfortable. I knew some of the guys on the team already and being on the West Coast, it felt like home for me. I think Utah is definitely a school I would be comfortable at for the next four years of my life and I'm definitely giving them a hard look."
Stovall is also considering Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State and Cal for his remaining visits.
