Utah scores a commitment from four-star RB Raycine Guillory
Raycine Guillory jumped into the 2025 class earlier this fall, and now his college destination is set.
Guillory, Rivals’ No. 22-ranked running back in the country out of Texas powerhouse Aledo (Texas) High School, gave a commitment to Utah on Wednesday. The four-star back inked with the Utes as the Early Signing Period got underway.
“Just knowing I have a chance to be one of the guys and get great development on the field and off,” Guillory told Rivals of his decision to head to Utah. “i love the fit.”
Guillory, a one-time Texas verbal commitment, reclassified from the 2026 to the 2025 recruiting class in November.
Since reopening his recruitment, Guillory has taken closer looks at SMU, Miami, Texas, Ole Miss, and of course, Utah.
“Just vibing with the coaches, getting to be around some of the guys … that was the highlight,” the four-star running back said of his time in Provo. “Getting to be around the area was cool”
The Utes hosted Guillory and his family on November 21 for an official visit, which was the catalyst down the stretch in this decision.
“They win games, have a great offense, and just being able to learn from the best in the game,” Guillory added on his decision to sign with Utah.
