Morgan Scalley added to Utah’s 2027 recruiting class on Wednesday evening as the Utes picked up the commitment of three-star Arizona defensive lineman Tiki Teeples.

The 6-foot-4, 265-pound Teeples had offers from Texas Tech, Iowa State and West Virginia before deciding to commit to Utah.

In his junior year for Canyon View High in Waddell, Arizona, Teeples tallied 63 tackles, 12.5 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble.

Teeples is ranked by the 247Sports composite system as the No. 22 overall prospect in Arizona and the No. 112 defensive lineman in the country. He holds a 0.8600 rating.

Teeples is the third member of Utah’s 2027 recruiting class, joining three-star edge rusher Jack Henderson and three-star receiver Kingston Parks.
