Gaige Weddle Visits Utah with Dad's Honor | Utah Utes Football News

Gaige Weddle, the top safety recruit of 2028 and son of Utah legend Eric Weddle, is on campus for his dad’s Ring of Honor induction — but this visit isn’t just about legacy. Already a dual-threat QB and safety with over 2K passing yards and 100 tackles, Gaige’s drawn national attention from Ohio State, Georgia, and USC — yet he’s found a special connection with Utah. Head coach Morgan Scalley, who played alongside Eric on the 2004 undefeated Utes team, is now recruiting his own former teammate’s son — a full-circle moment that’s hard to ignore. While the competition remains fierce, Gaige’s comfort at Rice-Eccles Stadium and his desire to build his own name make Utah uniquely positioned to land him — especially with the stadium buzzing for his dad’s big night and a high-stakes game against Arkansas looming.
