SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah football program has picked up a commitment from D.J. Dean, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound athlete from Newton High School in Texas.

Dean is an accomplished player on both sides of the ball. Last season, he accounted for 16 touchdowns (eight passing, eight rushing) at quarterback and made three interceptions at cornerback. Hell most likely play defense for the Utes.

"I like the family feeling," Dean said while noting that academics also played a role in his decision. He plans to study sports medicine at Utah.

Dean plans to enroll in school after the spring track season. The sprinter is determined to win a state championship before heading to college.
