It's been a busy day on the transfer portal front for Utah.
After receiving commitments from Missouri punter Orion Phillips and Garden City cornerback Jeremiah Caldwell, the Utes made moves to shore up their linebacker room.
Jaxson Jones, a freshman linebacker at Oregon who redshirted this season, announced his intentions to transfer to Utah on Saturday night.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Jones was a four-star recruit out of high school, and the Utes offered him back then, per his 247Sports page. The second time is the charm for the Utes, who needed depth in the linebacker room after Sione Fotu and Josh Calvert transferred out.
Jones is the son of Daniel Jones , who was a receiver at Utah from 1997-1998.
In his senior year at Yuma Catholic High in Arizona, Jaxson Jones recorded 46 tackles, nine sacks and forced two fumbles.
