Utah QB Wilson Enters Transfer Portal
•
Utah quarterback Isaac Wilson, a former standout at Corner Canyon High School, has entered the transfer portal after a season of limited playing time. Despite starting seven games as a true freshman and throwing for 1,510 yards and ten touchdowns, Wilson was named backup quarterback this year, but freshman Byrd Ficklin took the second-string position. With Utah confident in retaining their starting quarterback and Ficklin, Wilson seeks opportunities elsewhere. He is the third Ute player to enter the transfer portal, joining freshman cornerback Jaylen Moson and four-star freshman linebacker Christian Thatcher.
