I've heard Jeremiah Jordan has looked good too. Don't know why he wasn't included in your DE list.

Because he has a long road to playing time. All five of those players are ahead of him on the depth chart.
But your post further shows how Utah will be just fine at DE.
Jordan likely has a lis franc injury and is done for the year.
Went down in the circle drill before the last scrimmage. I hadn't heard that there was a break. Bummer.
That sucks. Our lack of depth at Defensive End really hurt us last year.
Anyone care to report on the spring game? Wasn't that today?
I watched it on the PAC 12 channel. They held a bunch of starters out. Tuttle threw a couple of interceptions, and 1 touchdown. Huntley had one touchdown. Our best RB was a long haired, red headed white guy how isn't even on the team roster. Most of the receivers who caught balls I had never heard of before.

Thanks, sounds like I didn't miss too much.
Highest scoring Spring game in recent memory. So defense is garbage.
Special teams won it again with a last second Gay 57 yard field goal.
Tuttle fumbled a snap for a 33 yard loss and threw two turnovers. Lisk was lit though.

- good crowd, I'd say about 12k, and I was surprised to see that many people tailgating beforehand, both sides were about 1/3 full
- Tuttle has a great arm and he's deceptively fast, he had a couple of runs for first downs, but he overthrew two receivers for INT's
- It was nice to see the offense use the tight end more, 1 of our poly tight ends had 6 catches
- Whitt was showing off his calves, which are as big as ever and are already tanned. I got my annual first sunburn
- I walked around campus afterward with some friends and watched several incoming freshman and their parents touring the campus, that always gets me a little choked up (great times, great memories)

So many starters were held out, so it's really hard to get any kind of sense for how good the guys are that flashed, but I'll take a stab at it:
- Hauati Pututau (#41 DL) had a couple of really nice plays and appears to be a monster. I think he'll be a handful moving forward.
- #31, the white long haired RB is Joey Wood (#32 in your program) is a JC RB. Seems like more of a fullback/h-back type (so how did he end up at Utah?). Maybe we'll see him in goal-to-go situations.
- Shyne looked like he hadn't played much football for 2 years...hopefully he shakes that off.
- Jalen Dixon (#25) had a couple of nice plays. Seems fast and shifty, a nice compliment to Covey on those inside routes.
- Terek Lewis (#5) looks like he is going to step right in and play in some capacity. Looks the part, hopefully he can play the part. Folks have raved about the depth of the secondary, hopefully Lewis will be a part of that mix.
- Drew Lisk (QB - #12) had a few nice throws, so I guess if we get into a Jon Hayes situation, it's nice to know that we're in good hands.
All in all, nothing too remarkable, but always nice to see the Utes take the field at RES. Only 136 days until they kick off the 2018 campaign.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
