Utah Utes Revamp Offense for 2025 Big 12 Campaign
Coming off a challenging 2024 season marred by injuries, the Utah football program is eager to turn the page as it enters its second year in the Big 12 Conference. The Utes struggled offensively last season, particularly due to the absence of star quarterback Cam Rising. This offseason, Utah focused on overhauling its offensive strategy, making key changes at the quarterback position and in the coaching staff.
The Utes’ offensive line remains unchanged, providing a stable foundation for junior quarterback Devon Dampier. Known for his elusiveness, Dampier will benefit from having two projected first-round draft picks protecting him on the tackle spots, allowing him ample time to execute plays effectively.
The revamped skill positions around Dampier include several notable players. Dampier, during his tenure at New Mexico, showcased solid performance with 2,768 passing yards and 19 rushing touchdowns over 12 games. He will be joined by sophomore running back Wayshawn Parker, who contributed 735 rushing yards last season, and a receiving corps featuring rising talents like Tobias Merriweather, Larry Simmons, and Ryan Davis.
In terms of offensive line depth, the Utes boast impressive returning starters like Spencer Fano, who earned the top Pro Football Focus grade nationally, along with key contributors such as Michael Mokofisi, Jaren Krump, Tanoa Togiai, and Caleb Lomu.
With these changes, Utah looks to reestablish its competitive edge in the Big 12. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if the strategic overhaul will translate into a more efficient and dynamic offense as the Utes gear up for the upcoming season.
