For the first time since 2021, high school football in the state of Utah has produced a five-star prospect.

According to updated ratings from 247 Sports – released Wednesday – Corner Canyon wide receiver Jerome Myles is as good a college football prospect as you’ll find in the 2025 class.

Committed to Ole Miss – Myles also considered 13 other Power Four teams, including Utah and BYU – Myles is now rated as a five-star recruit, jumping 161 spots overall to a top-31 spot nationally.

Listed at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Myles wasn’t Corner Canyon’s most productive receiver last season — that title belongs to Utah State signee Tate Kjar — but he was its most dynamic, averaging 25.58 yards per reception. Myles finished his junior season with 19 receptions for 486 yards and six touchdowns.

Now ranked as the fifth-best receiver in the country (as of 2025), Myles is the highest-rated pass catcher currently committed to a program.

He is also one of the top 13 players currently signed, with most of them committed to either Ohio State or USC.

With a five-star rating from 247 Sports, Myles follows in the footsteps of some notable Utah products over the past decade, including Kingsley Suamataia (2021), Noah Sewell (2020) and Osa Masina (2015).

Suamataia signed with Oregon out of Orem High before transferring to BYU. He was drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Sewell also signed with Oregon out of Orem High and after three years was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 draft by the Chicago Bears.

Myles is still not a consensus five-star recruit. Neither Rivals, On3 Sports or ESPN have Myles in the five-star range, which classifies him as a four-star prospect. Still, a five-star rating from one of the four major recruiting services is a notable achievement for the Corner Canyon prospect.

“Blessed to receive my 5th star,” Myles wrote on X.
