Utah football wraps up spring practices Saturday with a scrimmage at Rice-Eccles Stadium. It’s been a productive spring for the Utes and a lot of young players have impressed the coaching staff.
However, Utah did lose a talented player last week when Ryan Peppins entered the transfer portal.
Wide receiver Devaughn Vele is competing to be the Utes’ No. 1 receiver.
Defensive lineman Devin Kaufusi, a BYU transfer, has become a team captain and he has a special bond with his new D-line coach, Luther Elliss.

Utah men’s basketball roster for next season is taking shape. Chris Burgess has joined the coaching staff and the Utes have added key pieces.

And, finally, Utah baseball defeated BYU in walk-off fashion.

I like the pipeline coach Smith is creating with Wasatch Academy! Will be interesting to see if the Utes land both Davis brothers to fill out their scholarships, or if (Caleb) Lohner wants to join his former teammate (Mike) Saunders and come back to the Utes. If that’s the case there will only be 1 scholarship left, which makes me wonder if the Davis bros are only interested in being a package deal?

This is absolutely devastating news. (Ryan) Peppins is more dangerous than (Britain) Covey, and was my fave 2022 class player along with Lander Barton. I’m BUMMED!
