Fridays are typically reserved for high school football, but out-of-state recruits are coming to Rice-Eccles this weekend for the USC game, including Utah's presumed quarterback of the future.

The Utes will host three players, headlined by quarterback Jason Shelley who is one of four recruits committed to Utah in the 2017 class. The two other visitors are committed as well — receiver Tyquez Hampton to Washington State and tight end Jeremy Patton to Arkansas — but are still taking visits and receiving offers.

Here's a quick rundown on each:

TYQUEZ HAMPTON, WR, El Dorado (El Paso, Texas)
Rivals 3-star/Scout 3-star/247 Sports 3-star
A 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver, Hampton is the second Wazzu commit to visit Utah in as many home games (http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/wsu-cougar-football/cyrus-habibi-likios-mother-explains-why-the-running-back-decommitted-from-wsu/";>RB Cyrus Habibi-Likio decommitted from WSU this week, by the way, after visiting for the BYU game). He reports offers from Mississippi State and West Virginia in addition to Washington State and Utah. He decommitted from SMU over the summer, and http://www.cougcenter.com/2016/6/10/11907746/wsu-football-recruiting-tyquez-hampton-mississippi-state-utah-west-virginia";>told El Paso media he chose Leach and Cougars for their prolific passing offense. He had 25 receptions for 562 yards and six touchdowns last year for the Aztecs. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/3976624/5721d5f59a91677e74a846da";>You can view his Hudl highlights here.

At Shelley is http://bit.ly/2aqwekI";>a Utah commit who announced his choice in July. A dual-threat QB standing at 6-foot and 180 pounds (depending on which site you ask), Shelley put up mammoth numbers for Frisco Lone Star (3,716 passing yards, 1,661 rushing yards and 60 total touchdowns). Shelley also has offers to SMU and Virginia among others.
