PLEASANT GROVE — Brandon Fanaika, the state's top offensive lineman prospect who previously committed to Stanford, says he's now reconsidering just days before letter of intent day.

Following an official visit to Utah on Jan. 20, the 6-foot-3, 290-pound prospect went public that he was still considering the Utes and could very well sign with them this Wednesday. Today he sent out a text stating, "BYU is in the pic now."

BYU offered Fanaika following his attendance at Junior Day this past June. Fanaika reported as many as nine offers and is rated as a three-star prospect by both rivals and scout.com.
