He’s coming in as a depth piece nothing more. At best he’s Utah’s Short yardage back at 210lbs
But I’m sorry you’re so bummed that Jeremiyah Love Notre Dame RB and top returning RB in CFB in 25 didn’t decide to transfer to Utah to be RB5
Are you this negative in every aspect of your life?
Maybe reevaluate your priorities or just get over yourself.

One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. Maybe he becomes the next Tavion Thomas (minus the psychological issues), or maybe he just has a cup of coffee with the Utes. I will say the fact that he transferred so late in the game and was available to Utah definitely means that all of the traditional football powers passed on the guy.

I mean after the last two seasons you can’t fault anyone being realistic instead of being overly optimistic.

I don’t see this as negativity. It’s just the reality. Do you honestly think I’m wrong? He was at VT for two years and had a total of 128 yards. The next year, in a muuuuuch lower division of football, he had 285 yards. His YPC was quite good at around 6, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll do that here.
It’s just like someone else (I forget…[Read more]

I sure hope his lack of production at his last spot was due to injury or some other non-football reason, because his production thus far is not inspiring confidence. Nice to have another guy I guess.

Great! I only heard about this guy today on the Blockcast podcast. He should be a great depth piece and looks to have the size/talent to make some plays for us in the future.

Let’s tone down the Isaac hate. He is still a member of our team and is working hard to rebuild confidence. Your exaggerated hot take certainly won’t help in that regard.
We’ll see if he can process the game faster and make better decisions in the future. If so, his arm strength/talent alone could make him a solid part of our QB room. -

Hopefully he turns into a good player for us! Go UTES!

I saw that. Good for Covey. He is one of my all-time favorite players. I hope he get a chance to play receiver.

I’ve been a fan my whole life and I’m 54. Wilson was the worst QB I have ever watched in a Utes uniform. The running game was average & the play calling poor. Not sure how good Dampier is, but anyone, myself included, is better than Wilson. Wilson was so bad he would have been third string at Weber State.
The defense was solid but never got a…[Read more]

He could be a great big body option for short turn in routes for touchdowns and conversion plays for first downs. Dampier excels at quick on time passes, so Merriweather fits in nicely to Beck’s offense.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Is NIL and the portal sustainable? in the forum Football 1 week, 1 day ago
2 things Utah has done very well over the years
1. Recruit players ‘under the radar’ and develop them over a few years into great contributors, often ready to play on Sunday.
2. Players that play here a few years, get a feel for a ‘family’ type atmosphere and bond together as a unit.
NIL sort of ruins both of these. A rising star heads to…[Read more]

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Is NIL and the portal sustainable? in the forum Football 1 week, 1 day ago
Well, the problem is that when I said “Cal”, it’s just an example that also applies to many more universities. I always said that this new world of unlimited transfers, NIL, etc…would lead to a series of unintended consequences, of which many universities dropping football or athletics in general is just one. Here’s another…we all know that a…[Read more]

Can he block?

He was hurt while at Cal that certainly hurt his production.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic WR Tobias Merriweather is a Ute!! in the forum Football 1 week, 1 day ago
This is good news, but I’m not going to get my hopes up. There were like 5 WRs ahead of him at Cal in terms of production.
One thing I do like is that he seems to be someone that stretches the field well. Most of his catches seem like long-ball type plays.

Boom! WR Tobias Merriweather transfers from Cal to Utah!
Very nice pickup for Utah! I’m feeling much better about the WR room with the addition of Simmons and now Merriweather.
Big guy. Height 6-5, 205 pounds according to the 247 page.
Merriweather has a 247 transfer 87 ranking.
His 2022 high school ranking was a very solid 4-star 247…[Read more]
