Manase Brown, a high three-star offensive tackle prospect at Corner Canyon High, announced that he is committed to the Utes.

Brown is a 6-foot-7, 275-pound offensive tackle for the Chargers, who owns a 0.8800 prospect rating in 247 Sports' composite ratings . He is ranked as the the No. 8 recruit from the state of Utah in the 2027 class, per 247 Sports composite.

He originally committed to Fresno State over the summer and holds scholarship offers from more than 15 FBS schools, according to 247 Sports.

Last week, though, it was reported he had reopened his commitment and he would choose between a final five that also included BYU, USC, Michigan and Arizona.

He announced his decision in a ceremony held at Corner Canyon on Monday afternoon.

Brown is a dual-sport athlete, as he plays basketball for the Chargers as well.

Brown has also played tight end and defensive end in high school.

He took an official visit to Utah on Oct. 10 for the Utes' game against Kansas, per 247 Sports.

"I'm really excited about my decision," Brown told Rivals' Greg Biggins . "I really feel Utah is the best spot for me, all around. They have a very special thing going on right now and I'm excited to be a part of that."

Brown is the fourth offensive line recruit to join the Utes' 2027 class, where he'll be coached by first-year offensive line assistant coach Jordan Gross, the eighth overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft.

Brown is rated the second-best prospect for Utah in next year's class, behind only four-star Davis High wide receiver Jaxton Itaaehau.

He is also the third Corner Canyon commitment for the Utes this cycle, joining safety Diesel Dart and athlete Jackson West, who plays on both the offensive and defensive line.
