Here come the commits.

Utah added a second recruit in three days to the 2017 class, junior college cornerback Tareke Lewis.

The 6-foot-1 defensive back is unranked by several major scouting services, but brings size to the position that the Utes covet. He had 16 tackles, two picks and seven pass break-ups this year for Riverside City College, which enjoyed a 10-2 season.

Lewis confirmed the commitment on Twitter,https://twitter.com/_2flavorz/status/806228541289287681";> tweeting a photo of himself in a Utah uniform with the caption "Beyond blessed."

http://www.scout.com/player/207764-tareke-lewis";>A three-star prospect on Scout, Lewis chose the Utes over offers from Maryland, Kansas State, West Virginia and Oregon State among others. Lewis is originally from Palatka, Fla., south of Jacksonville. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/6429983/57f306277bddf76044b2adf2";>You can view his Hudl highlights here.

Lewis came to visit the Utes http://bit.ly/2d9wk12";>on the weekend of the program's 36-23 win over Arizona. Utah also got commits from Jaylen Dixon and Jaylon Johnson after the game, making the program 3 for 6 from that weekend's visiting recruits so far.

Utah's walk-on running back Jordan Howard is also from Riverside City College.

The Utes now have seven players in the 2017 recruiting class, which is still fewer than all other Pac-12 schools, but there's now some momentum rolling. Lewis is the second defensive back in the class along with Johnson — needed talent infusion given that Utah its top three corners, a nickel back and potentially its http://bit.ly/2ge66JE";>All-American-caliber free safety.
