Just a day after the 2026 Greenwood Quarterback announced on social media that he has decommitted from the University of Central Florida. He has a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah with the Utes of the University of Utah.
Currently Utah is the number 14 team in the country after their come-from-behind victory over Kansas State.
Archer, who is 53 yards away from passing for 10,000 career yards, was on a visit Saturday to his future university according to Pig Trail Nation’s Otis Kirk. Kirk did not say where the visit was to, but we now know that school was the University of Utah. A quick turnaround for the Senior who had just helped the Greenwood Bulldogs to a win over Jonesboro on Friday night.
While the ideal spot was to have been Arkansas, interest wound down from the Razorbacks.
There are currently two quarterbacks committed to Utah in this recruiting cycle. According to 24/7 Sports there are five quarterbacks on the Utah roster, with only one being a Senior. Coincidentally, Utah QB Byrd Ficklin who hails from Muskogee, Oklahoma, got his first start as a High School Freshman against Greenwood in 2021. A then 8th grader, Kane Archer, was helping the Greenwood Bulldogs on the sidelines.
