Jori is in the portal right now.

I accidentally let this slip on here about a week ago …

Landen botched his opportunities this spring. Started spring strong then digressed really badly through spring. Drops were a major issue with him and the coaches lost trust.

He never took advantage of the opportunities given and younger players (Hunter Andrews) emerged and took his reps.

On paper this I seems like a loss (no it’s not) but this isn’t a surprise to anyone in the building.

This thread is mind boggling to me … I understand limiting expectations but even limiting expectations Utah is still a top 5 team in this conference! Health is the only thing that would derail that! Utahs done a good job addressing all of their needs through the portal while retaining key guys. This is a good team.

Hunter Andrews has found his home. And TE’s are going to be used in this offense. Running backs are also solid.

Expect Shemwell to enter the portal too. Utahs been cross training Snowden and Scooby inside and outside. Jason Stokes will be in the rotation at corner. The 3 transfer corners are performing well. Jackson Bennee is going to be someone to pay attention to for either safety or Nickel. He’s a walk on but will most definitely have a scholarship by the end of the offseason. 6 ft 1 inches, ran a 4.4 twice while testing 40s … his vertical is also very impressive. Definitely a steal as a walk on.

Edit:
Also, here are some other thoughts.

Karson Kaufusi and Jonah Lea’ea are guys to pay attention to at DT.

Jono Hall has put on weight and is performing well at LB.

Landen King is someone to pay attention to on offense.

Semi Taulanga was expected to serve his LDS church mission this year but is now planning on joining the football team in the summer. Big boost for the DT room.

When Utah’s healthy, they’re a contender. I really like how the roster has been constructed and I feel like Utah has a legit shot at the conference.

[UteButters]

Bentley is the best TE. Hunter Andrews has passed King up as well.

Williams, Zipperer, Davis, Whittemore are the top receivers. Calderella showed out yesterday and showed he may deserve a rotation spot as well.

[UteButters]

The only good DE? That’s not true. Dillon, Holtzclaw, Fitzgerald and Daley are good.

[UteButters]

Utahs roster is better

[UteButters]

I love the role they have Nate playing. The role fits his skillset perfectly. Nates going to play a similar role to how New Mexico used Sol-Jay Maiava-Peters (Former BYU QB turned athlete for New Mexico). Sol-Jay played some wildcat, Running back, and receiver for New Mexico.

I appreciate that this offensive staff is willing to be creative with their best athletes to get them the ball. That’s something the former staff could never figure out.
