great at sports. Sean Hagen signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates after being selected in the 1993 MLB draft, but he was a pretty amazing football player too. The 1992 Utah Gatorade player of the year gave up his football/baseball scholarship to the University of Utah to enter the minor leagues. After spending a few years with the Pirates, he came back to Utah and spent one season playing football for the Utes and caught one pass for 18 yards.

Nearly thirty years later his son Cody followed in his father and older brother’s footsteps, being named the Utah Gatorade player of the year as a standout receiver. Cody passed on track scholarships to play football for the Ute’s rival—Brigham Young University.

BYU doesn’t land too many Utah legacy recruits, but the last time they did it turned out great for both BYU and the recruit. That recruit—NFL starter Zach Wilson—wasn’t even offered by Utah. Hagen was, but the no. 4 recruit in Utah still chose BYU.

Marcus, Dominique, and Cody each have run a 10.6 or faster 100-meter, a 21.15 or faster 200-meter, and a 6.88 or faster 60-meter time. All of these marks equal or are faster than the two fastest BYU recruits prior to 2022—Fonnesbeck and Soelberg—and most are Utah state records.
