Blue-chip recruit running back Raycine Guillory: ‘I can bring a championship to Utah’

HOUSTON – Aledo running back Raycine Guillory, a blue-chip recruit, is aiming high for his freshman season at Utah.

After choosing the Utes over Ole Miss and multiple other scholarship offers, including Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Texas after decommitting from the Longhorns, Guillory is primed for a fast transition to college football.

His goals include rushing for 1,000 yards and making an immediate impact.

“Learn and master the offense,” Guillory told KPRC 2. “Be the best teammate I can be and bring a championship to Utah.”

Reclassified as a 2026 recruit from 2025 after weighing over 43 Division I offers, Guillory is one of the top players in the Dallas area and in the state of Texas. He rushed for 1,299 yards and 24 touchdowns as he averaged 8.1 yards per carry. He added two touchdown catches.

Over the past two seasons, Guillory rushed for nearly 2,500 rushing yards and 41 touchdowns and averaged an 8.3 yards per carry. He averaged more than 15 yards per catch the pat two seasons.

Now, he’ll have an opportunity to replace senior star Micah Bernard.

“Raycine is an explosive back that can change the game in the blink of an eye,” agent and former Northwestern defensive back Chris Martin said. “He’s a twiched-up runner with elite burst, suddenness and change of direction.”
