Utah Set To Host 2024 Four-Star EDGE Ratumana Bulabalavu For An Official Visit

The Utah Utes may have a chance to make another addition to their 2024 recruiting class

Just when things seemed to be wrapping up when it came to Utah recruiting the 2024 class, they had a chance to make a major last-minute splash.

After Kalen DeBoer accepted the Alabama head coach job, the Washington Huskies saw a few departures from their 2024 recruiting class. One of those happened to be four-star EDGE Ratumana Bulabalavu. The Army And Navy Academy (CA) product has since re-opened his recruitment after asking for his release from his NLI.

According to 247Sports' Greg Biggins, Bulabalavu is now set to take official visits to both USC and Utah.

Utah was in on Bulabalavu early in his recruitment, which could help their case considering USC didn't offer him until he backed off his pledge. This past season he exploded, recording 99 tackles, 19 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception. The year prior he racked up an astonishing 23.5 sacks and 30 tackles for a loss.

The four-star freshman would certainly have a chance to see some early snaps for the Utes who lost their top pass-rusher Jonah Elliss to the NFL.

The Utes' 2024 recruiting class was made up of just 15 recruits, which ranked as the No. 65 class in the country.
