It’s a double commitment day for the University of Utah.
After receiving a pledge from three-star Oklahoma tight end Braxton Daniel earlier in the day, the Utes received a commitment from three-star Texas linebacker Aiden Martin in the afternoon.
Martin had offers from Houston, Iowa State, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Northwestern and UCLA, but chose to continue his football career at Utah.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect played safety at Brennan High in San Antonio, Texas, and is listed as a safety on recruiting sites, but will likely play linebacker at Utah.
Utah continues to build its 2027 class, which is now up to seven commits as a busy June official visit season rolls on. Martin joins tight ends Braxton Daniel, Jonah Mailei, offensive linemen Sire Stewart and Damian Anyasodo, defensive lineman Tiki Teeples and edge rusher Jack Henderson as part of Morgan Scalley’s inaugural recruiting class at Utah. All are rated three stars by recruiting sites.
