Izzy Cruz brings freshman pop and multi-position upside to Utah
Izzy Cruz entered Utah as a highly productive Texas prep star and, in the 2026 season, flashed real utility for the Utes: she hit .240 with a .673 OPS, collected 12 hits, 5 RBI, and even left the yard once while seeing action at third base.[1][2] Her calling card is more than the box score—she arrives with a reputation for award-winning offense and defense, high-end competitive juice, and the kind of infield flexibility coaches love when they need energy, toughness, and a bat with upside.[1][3]
