#70 Hunter Lotulelei, RS Freshman OL, 6-2, 323
Ute fans are very familiar with the Lotulelei name; Hunter is cousin of Star & Lowell Lotulelei. Hunter comes to the Utes from Highland High in SLC. He was First Team All-State, All-Region and 2nd Team All-USA as a HS Senior 2017, went on a 2-year LDS mission, and did not see action on game days in 2020 and 2021 football seasons at Utah. Hunter has been getting reps in practice in the scout teams for a couple years and, as one of several RS Freshmand and Sohps in the OBLOCK, he should get some action in special teams and maybe on OL in 2022. Certainly one to watch.
I thought about going, but then I heard attendance is supposed to be 500,000 people. That’s too much for me.
