New Caney (Texas) four-star cornerback CJ Blocker has committed once again to Utah, less than a month after decommitting from the school.

Blocker was originally committed to the Utes from June 28 to November 23.

He chose Utah over AlabamaColoradoKentucky and USC.

Blocker is the No. 344 overall prospect and No. 37 cornerback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. 

CJ Blocker Scouting Summary

Ballhawking corner prospect that wins his stellar track speed and ball skills. Measures in at 5-foot-11, 165-plus pounds with nearly a 6-foot-3 wingspan. One of the most dominant sprinters in the 2023 recruiting cycle running a 10.62 100m and a 49.32 400m during his junior track and field season. Has the length to handle bigger X-type receivers and the hip fluidity and looseness in his movement skills to cover shiftier slot receivers. Tremendous feel for the position, has an innate understanding of what receivers are trying to do in order to get open. Frame is on the slighter side so will have a tough time working in the box and being a force in the run game. Extremely high upside player who should play early either on the outside or in the slot due to his athleticism and length. Capable of blossoming into a top 150 NFL draft selection.
