Word is Justin Thomas, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound corner out of West Orange-Stark H.S. in Orange, Texas, committed to the Utes Thursday although I haven't been able to confirm the commitment with Thomas.
Thomas had offers from Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Baylor and other schools.
Thomas would be the 10th commitment the Utes have for their 2012 class and is the first from Texas.
