SALT LAKE CITY Utah s fall camp, or #CampKyle as many like to call it, will kick off in a couple weeks, so it s time to start thinking about football again (as if you haven t been all summer).
Last week I predicted the Utes will go 10-2 and win the South Division, but a lot of that rests on how well Utah s offense can come together for the 2021 season. The Utes return a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball, but there s still questions at many key positions.
Here s a pre-camp look at some of the top names at each position group and who is expected to compete for starting minutes. This will almost certainly change as fall camp gets underway, but it s an educated look at what Utah has on its hands this year.
PROVO In the middle of the conference finale in some cases and bowl preparations for others (including BYU), the Cougars will celebrate the beginning of the early signing period Wednesday with a small group that is loaded on some of the state of Utah s top-tier talent.
BYU will begin to formally introduce the Class of 2021 on Wednesday when the fax machine is humming and National Letters of Intent begin to roll into the offices of recruiting coordinators Jasen Ah You and Jack Damuni, and many of those recruits won t have to send their response very far.
Eight of the Cougars 16 early commits hail from the state of Utah, headlined by Timpview defensive end Logan Fano, a four-star pass rusher by 247 Sports who passed on Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Michigan, among others, to stay in the neighborhood.
