Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's like Brock.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Harris is Dennis Pitta, smooth operator, body control, big, strong, fast,
Tie is like, in my opinion, athletically speedwise.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He's kinda like a how would I describe it as a?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
As A he's a basketball player converted to football and
he's kind of got like this brock Bowers kind of

Let's get out to the hotline.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Welcome in representative president of the prepwormprepworm dot com software
as a service, as well as the host of the
Utah Preps podcast.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
We got Moose Bingham online. Moose, how you living, Ben?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I am living as good as you possibly can be.
I just got out of the mountains on back into
the swamps when I saw some great football these last
two weekends. My goodness, gracious, it's been fun going to
Utah and still calling high school games.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
If you look at this twenty twenty six class, like
Ryder Lion bald out over the weekend, it looked like
it got a little heated in the pregame. His opponents
were calling calling him out talking about social media, and
that's what's happened. When you get onto social media, you
become you become a bit of a target.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You put a target on your back.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Rider Lions responded, bald Out had a great game for
his squad. They dominated in this game. To kick it
all off, I'm special, as Rider lines in your.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Opinion, Well, here's the thing. Going to Grand California, that's
an intimidating squad. The Pacers. Man, I went there and
played once and I got my trash kicked. Rider Lions
went and played there. He was dominant. And what I
loved is he didn't just take it and be like okay,
He's like bring it on, and he put his hand
(03:51):
up saying that come on, Jackie chand sign. I loved
watching Rider. He's got an attitude that you can't duplicate,
you can't intimidate Rider Lions. And that's who you wanted
your quarterback, and that's who all these guys want to
play with, that Rider Lions. I just loved it. Ben.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, he's he's a special kid.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
He got hit late on the sideline bounce back and
then threw a sixty six yard touchdown after.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Getting just blown up on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
With a late hit shows a little bit of mental
and physical fortitude that you'd like to see from your quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah. Absolutely, And the fact you can go into a
place that is really intimidating to play and come out
with four hundred yards and five touchdowns or whatever. Goodness, gracious,
I couldn't be more excited of a quarterback prospect at
any time, honestly in Biu's history. This kid's the real deal.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Thirty one thirty seven, four to eight passing yards, four
passing touchdowns and then a rushing touchdowns and a partridge
in a pear tree.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That's a ridiculous stat line.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Oh my goodness, Graci. And not to me. I've done
a lot of these guys have ridiculous stat lines. Rock Harris,
do you know he's tomped him in the country right
now in yards?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He's put up ridiculous numbers thus far. I mean, his
first playoff from scrimmage was like a eighty yard touchdown
reception on a little quick screen, little little quick arrow rounde.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Oh my gosh, he looks so good. And I was
just laughing. I was on Twitter, just Bailey and saw
a picture of him next to Brock Bowers, and he's
bigger than brock Bowers by a lot. Rock Harris, I
know it says six'. SIX i think we're pulling Some
Kevin durant's. Stats the kid looks to be six eight six.'
(05:40):
nine in, all reality. He's huge.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
My goodness as far as the rest of, the class
you know You Have, brock herras you mentioned Botmull The
tyla Taigetchi kawai akana is the number five overall prospect
in committing. This class six two and a half two,
hundred pounder, multi sport he can play, both sides is
(06:05):
a two. Way player he's got a COMPOSITE score i
think of. Eighty nine he's a borderline. Four star he
maybe a four star by the end of. This season
how did he And The orum tigers compete?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
This WEEKEND so i.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Actually called, that game and they would have played a
lot Better if callaway. Was playing he's nursing a hamstring
injury and that's the one thing that is. Killing him but.
Don't worry we got him in with some. Good doctors
now he should be good. To GO but i think
if he did play, that game it wouldn't have been
a seventeens. Point spread i'll tell You that callway is
one of the, most, talented hardworking and Vivacious kids i've
(06:41):
ever met in. My life he is just a stud
on and off, the field and he is bigger in person.
AS well i don't Know where kaway's going. TO play
i know we've got him probably. At safety he could
be a monster outside linebacker when everything's said, and done
or coming. At nickel he's, that talented but he's been
dealing with a little bit of an. Injury bug he'll
(07:03):
be just fine when he gets to, region, Play though mark.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
My words i'm looking at this the twenty players in
this in this class, right in eight of the twenty
are from the State. OF utah i looked at. The
roster about half of the ROSTER at uyu is from
the State. Of utah what does that tell you about
the future of RECRUITING at byu in, your opinion do
you think it's going to be about Fifty percent utah?
(07:27):
Football players utah prospects GOING to byu.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Only if you want, To win because you ask everyone
where the best, football is It's in utah. RIGHT now
I Mean. Lopeter mawala let's talk. ABOUT him i watched
Him On, Friday Night. Absolute dog his, first game he
had six sacks and he's as humble as. They come
you have to just go in and you have to
create the State. Of utah and that May include idaho
(07:55):
because We've Got jax tanner. Coming IN but I love
Plant And justin anderson and all these coaches going in, and,
saying hey this is. Our state we want to own
it because there's fantastic players in the State, of utah
fantastic coaching in the State, of utah and fantastic people
in the State. Of utah the more Players from utah
(08:15):
you can get and then Sprinklin some texas Sprinklin some,
florida Sprinkling some georgia Sprinkling. Some california that's a recipe
for success and we've seen that in this class. So
far but this is just a phenomenal class and it's
just to get better and we're going to get some
transfers in. As well i'm willing to.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Bet, YOU know i don't know if you were, able to,
you know watch all, these, games right but Like legend
glasger Out Of Lehigh, high school, six', one you know
one seventy really nice player and a. GREAT wide receiver
i think he is a bit of an underrated prospect.
In this class do you know how he produced?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Over the weekend so this was a little bit of
a Tough. Game to legend they ended up Losing. TO
mountain ridge i was supposed to Call The mountain, ridge
lehigh game and, Out of nowhere mountainridge. Figured it out
so you didn't have the. Most productive game but his
first game. It was great and sometimes you need that
little punch in the mouth at the beginning of the, season,
(09:18):
to say hey let's see what. You Guys, have but legend,
in this offseason he's one of the kids that has impressed.
Me the most his speed, has gotten better he has a,
ridiculous catch radius and in six games last year he
did what most. Men, could do no he is, the
(09:39):
real deal and he just gets. BETTER and better i
like The speed that tessie is getting, in THIS class
and i love. WHAT he's doing. I loved him i
love The kid From washington and livingston is. An absolute dog,
all these guys they bring such different mentalities to the
game and we we can go out there in ten
(10:01):
personnel and be confident with. This receiving.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Room love It We got moose bingham, on the, line
little Crew and the cougar said me getting caught up
On All The friday night lights productivity from the twenty
COMMITS Of.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The byu cougar two twenty.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Twenty six class and it's brought To You By Utah
Protective Films utah protective. Films dot com Do You think
bob mulatalo is, gonna, play, tackle guard center.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Defensive line at.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
The next level he can play all, OF those, positions,
I Think Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
SO bob mutolo i have to ask for forgiveness on
these radio AIRLINES because when i saw he moved, TO offensive,
tackle i said what what? Are you doing you amazing
at defensive end and defensive tackle is nothing. You can
DO and. Then i thowt he went down and trained
(10:52):
with one ten a soool, over the offseason Went Down,
to saint george hunked down and he is a. Foot
nominal tackle, he's not. Good. HE'S fantastic fan i, was
in awe honestly on the, amount HE'S improved because i
saw him at a camp earlier THIS year and, i
was like. That was terrible, now forgive me because he is.
(11:17):
The real deal if he wants to, PLAY wide receiver
i think he. Could do that there's Nothing that bot.
Luitolo CAN'T do and i see, him at guard. Probably
that interior but if he wants, to play tackle his.
Feet looks good. He looks good and they even threw
him on the defensive side of the ball as well
During the. Lone peak games so he's a two way,
(11:37):
player RIGHT now and i haven't. Seen That Since Probably
jackson powers johnson on. The, Offensive Line.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah jackson powers john's a really good football player at. A
Quarter canyon and i'm looking over, at you Know, speaking
of Jackson You.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Got jackson tanner it's a. Great name too over A.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
DAY in idaho i don't know if you caught, up
with him but at this kid's very. Special offensive, lineman
his well he.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Is very. Special growing up his Idol Was Actually. Jackson powers,
JOHNSON he's like i want to play, Just like him
ray template RIGHT there if i was looking, for a blueprint.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And he does.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He's gotten bigger he's more, than six four. TWO seventy
five i think he's pushing three. Hundred Right Now. But jacks,
tanner he's smooth. He's a technician he does EVERYTHING right
and byu is lucky. To have him he's one of
THOSE kids where, I was, Like I, think platt clack
you might. Be a duck but if he looks like
a duck and sounds like a duck in, this recruiting
(12:35):
class he's gonna roar. LIKE a Cougar I. Love jack
tanner he is a STUDD bro and i can't say
enough good. Things about him he is just coming. Into
his own he's a leader and in, that interior line
HE'S a kid i think could take over at center
and be a four. Year started starter We're Talking about tjan,
coroma type player but bigger Love.
