2. Recruiting: Utah makes top 5 for 2023 3-star running back Marquise Collins

During the 2021 season, Collins recorded a colossal 2,826 yards and 39 rushing touchdowns. He also was the 2021 Texas District 8-5A-I Co-MVP as a junior and was pivotal in College Station's 15-1 record.

In the first episode of Karene Reid's exclusive podcast "Reiding the Play", his brother Gabe explains his reason to transfer from Stanford to Utah.
"I was kind of on the fence in terms of, do I shoot my shot and go to league? [Do I] Declare for the draft? Or [do] I put my name in the portal and do one more year? I think for one thing, I didn't want to go out the way that I did last year. I'm sure Utah fans know from our game last year, Stanford versus Utah, that's not who I am and that's not how I do things. I didn't want to end with that bad taste in my mouth, so I decided I wanted to end my college career out on a high note," Gabe Reid said.
