It’s a hat trick for the University of Utah.
The Utes landed a commitment from three-star wide receiver Dillon Sykes Monday afternoon, bringing the day’s total to three commitments after landing linebacker Aiden Martin and tight end Braxton Daniel earlier.

The 6-foot-5, 190-pound Sykes is first wide receiver in Utah’s 2027 class and is an important piece. In his junior season at Rancho Cucamonga High in California, Sykes had 25 receptions for 281 yards and five touchdowns while playing in eight games, according to his MaxPreps stats page.
Sykes’ offer sheet included Purdue and Arizona, but also Ivy League schools like Dartmouth, Harvard and Penn. He has a 4.0 GPA.
Rivals ranks him as the No. 170 wide receiver nationally with an 86 grade.
Utah has quickly bolstered its class in recent weeks, with eight players now committed. Sykes joins linebacker Aiden Martin, tight end Braxton Daniel, running back Jonah Mailei, offensive linemen Sire Stewart and Damian Anyasodo, defensive lineman Tiki Teeples and edge rusher Jack Henderson as part of Morgan Scalley’s inaugural recruiting class at Utah. All are rated three stars by recruiting sites.
