The University of Utah enters their 2019 spring camp with sky high expectations following a 9-5 record and their first ever trip to the Pac-12 Championship Game, in 2018. Many in the program will freely admit that that accomplishment was a year ahead of what they expected, so what can the guys do for an encore?

Welcome to Ute Nation Spring Camp Central, your one-stop spot for all things Utes.

1

Jaylon Johnson, CB

Put him on an island against the best WRs in the country. He's about to get PAID.

--

2

Leki Fotu, DT

No question he's the most imposing DT in the Pac-12.

--

3

Tyler Huntley, QB

He's embraced Ludwig's approach and it shows.

--

4

Bradlee Anae, DE

With help at DE, opponents can't avoid him.

+1

5

Julian Blackmon, S


The position switch still looks perfect.

6

John Penisini, DT

Some would have Bowen above, but Penisini is becoming indispensable.

+1

7

Manny Bowen, LB

Could be a better talent than Hansen or Barton. Can he show it in one season?

Orlando Umana, OL

Paved the way for a nice rushing day, Saturday.

Josh Nurse, CB

Targeted a ton and holding his own. Get ready for him.
