ReRank Breakdown: 2013 Utah Recruiting Class

The 2013 recruiting class for Utah displayed a mix of outcomes that reflect both the challenges and successes of player development within the program. With a total of 27 recruits, the class had a modest blue chip percentage of 4, suggesting that the majority of the recruits were not regarded as elite talents. As a result, the overall expectations may have been tempered for this class, which is visible in the eventual S2S rerank, which dropped from 39 to 62.
Despite the lower overall ranking, there were notable individual successes. Sam Tevi and Devontae Booker emerged as significant players, with Tevi achieving the "NFL Starter" outcome label and Booker being "NFL Drafted." Their success indicates a strong development pathway for lower-ranked recruits within the program, showcasing Utah's ability to maximize potential beyond initial recruiting rankings. Conversely, the presence of ranked recruits like Gaius Vaenuku and Brandon Cox, who both received "Bust" labels, illustrates that not all high expectations translate into on-field success, which can be a common trend in recruiting classes.

Overall, the 2013 recruiting class for Utah underperformed relative to expectations, as indicated by the drop in their S2S rerank from 39 to 62. While the class included standout players who exceeded their recruitment expectations, the number of recruits who failed to meet their projected outcomes was significant enough to impact the overall perception of the class. The takeaway from this evaluation is that while there were individual success stories, the class struggled to fulfill its potential as a whole.
