LaGary Mitchell brings Utah a prototype downhill linebacker with pop and production
LaGary Mitchell, a 2026 Utah commit from Meridian High in Idaho, profiles as a classic Utah-style linebacker: physical, aggressive, and disruptive in space. In his senior season, he recorded 52 tackles, 3 sacks, and an interception, and Utah’s staff also highlighted his MVP showing at the Under Armour Next All-America Game invite in Salt Lake City. Recruiting outlets praised his hard hits, turnover creation, and versatility, noting he also contributed on offense and plays with the kind of intensity that fits a defense built on violence and reliability. In short: a sturdy, high-motor fit with clear special-teams and multi-role upside.
