2024 Utah Football Transfer Portal Tracker

SALT LAKE CITY – As the 2023 college football season comes to a close for Utah, it’s time to take tabs of who is coming and going through the program with our 2024 NCAA Transfer Portal Tracker.

Utah’s last season in the Pac-12 Conference had a bunch of promise but didn’t go quite as planned for the Utes mostly due to an onslaught of injuries. Still, using a bunch of second, third, and sometimes fourth stringers and lower, Utah finished with a winning record in what turned out to be one of the better renditions of the Conference of Champions from top-to-bottom.

The Utes now have an amazing opportunity to set the tone as they work to transition to the Big 12 Conference. Some of the work has already been done with Utah receiving news that quarterback Cam Rising, cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn, and linebacker Levani Damuni (out for the season) plan to return in 2024. There should be others who will make similar announcements as time goes on.

There will also be players who decide to transfer out of the program as well as into it- both looking for new opportunities. This process can get wild on occasion which is why you can track the comings and goings here.
