2016 four-star DE Maxs Tupai finally announces commitment

One of the final remaining uncommitted recruits of 2016 has finally signed a Letter of Intent.

Most of your top recruits for the 2016 cycle have already made their commitment and signed their respective Letters of Intent. There have been a few holdouts, like five-star Demetris Robertson, but otherwise, most of the big names are off the board.

Well, one of the remaining blue-chip recruits — four-star defensive end Maxs Tupai (6-foot-2, 255 pounds, Salt Lake City, UT) — finally committed on Thursday, as he announced his intention to sign with the Utah Utes.

It's a big pickup for Utah, as Tupai becomes their third four-star commit of the 2016 class. Obviously the Utes aren't a recruiting power, but ranking in the middle (No. 7 on 247Sports) in the Pac-12 in recruiting rankings is a pretty good start to their tenure as a Power 5 school.
