Legacy recruits Diesel Dart and Gaige Weddle weigh future with Utah
Summary

Utah football program recruits Diesel Dart and Gaige Weddle could potentially play together at the university. Dart, a three-star safety from Corner Canyon High School, committed to the Utes this past June after establishing a strong relationship with coach Morgan Scalley. Gaige Weddle, a four-star safety from Rancho Bernardo, California, and son of former Utes standout Eric Weddle, has listed Utah among his top college choices. While Gaige Weddle previously expressed hesitation about following in his father's footsteps, he is visiting Salt Lake City this weekend for a ring of honor induction and remains open to the program. Dart is expected to sign with the university this December, while Weddle, a 2028 prospect, continues to evaluate his options. Both players emphasize the goal of creating individual legacies if they choose to join the team.
