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

According to 247 Sports’ updated rankings — released Wednesday — Corner Canyon wide receiver Jerome Myles is about 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 a five-star recruit, leaping 161 spots overall to a top-31 spot nationally.

Listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, Myles wasn’t Corner Canyon’s most productive receiver this past season — that title belongs to Utah State signee Tate Kjar — but he was the most dynamic, averaging 25.58 yards per catch. Myles finished his junior season with 19 catches for 486 yards and six touchdowns.

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

He is also one of 13 top-31 players currently committed, with most of those pledged to either Ohio State or USC.

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