- SALT LAKE CITY — Morgan Scalley 's Utah football program wrapped up its third week of fall camp as the Utes move to final preparations for week one when Idaho visits Rice-Eccles Stadium on Sept. #GoUtes | #RSNB pic.twitter.com/6W4STBpAyH — Utah Football (@Utah_Football) August 23, 2026 That's a wrap on fall camp.

- Utah ranked near the bottom of the Big 12 in returning snaps, with major losses in both production and overall experience creating a bearish roster-continuity signal. - Morgan Scalley replacing Kyle Whittingham adds another layer of uncertainty because the program has not operated without Whittingham controlling the operation in a long time.

- Utah's linebacker competition remains active through the first two weeks of fall camp, with multiple players trying to fit alongside Trey and John. - The contenders offer complementary traits, including speed rushing and a stronger edge-setting, bull-rush profile designed to eliminate quarterback cutbacks. - The safety rotation is centered on three leading names, while the staff continues evaluating the depth behind them.

- Utah still has several roles to sort out at running back, but the staff feels good about the room's depth and has found ways to get multiple backs on the field. - A former linebacker who transitioned to running back this offseason is healthy, has shown encouraging quick-twitch movement in limited viewing, and should add another option alongside Semi and Cioni.

- Utah OL projected starters: Williams (LT), Moea'i/Obot (LG), Harrison (C), Olson (RG), Jefferson/Garcia (RT); battle continues through fall camp with deep rotation.
