SALT LAKE CITY – Utah cornerback JaTravis Broughton hit the NCAA Transfer Portal Thursday afternoon after spending five seasons with the Utes.
Broughton joined Utah football in 2019 and made an impact as a freshman on special teams and defense. Broughton’s best season came in the 2020 Covid-19 shortened season.
In 2021, Broughton’s season was cut short by injury and from there it never felt like he was fully able to get back on track.
