Utah Spring Thoughts with Two Weeks Left AMarkhamRivals weighs in:
As the University of Utah entered its final two weeks of 2023 spring ball, the back-to-back Pac-12 champs have made good use of their time thus far. An abundance of depth has been shown, some questions have been answered, and some still are yet to be figured out.The Utah defense is ready to aim for a 3-peatWhispers out of spring ball are that this Utah defense could be one of the best of the Kyle Whittingham era.
After the spring, the deep linebacker group will add an immediate impact player in former Stanford star and captain Levani Damuni. Along the defensive line, young guys like Keanu Tanuvasa, Chase Kennedy, Ka’eo Akana, and Logan Fano are all taking advantage of their increased reps due to guys either being held out or limited from action.
Lastly, it would be unfair to leave out Charlie Vincent, who has had a solid camp. However, there’s likely too much depth for him to see any kind of extended action.Ever since 2017, the Utes have gone into a season knowing that they’re set at the quarterback position. That year, up-and-comer Tyler Huntley beat out expected starter Troy Williams. For 2023, there’s no doubt that Rising is the straw that stirs the drink. He’s one of the greatest players in Utah history.
These next two weeks are key, as well as continuing to develop and progress into the summer and then fall camp. The freshmen have been given every opportunity to seize the backup spot. Rose currently has the upper hand, not just because Johnson has been slowed by injury but because of his overall experience. While Johnson was making waves in a specialty role in 2022, Rose took full advantage of being the scout team quarterback. That means Johnson has seen a lot less practice reps than Rose.
