SALT LAKE CITY— As spring ball approaches, focus shifts more towards football, and when it comes to Kyle Whittingham’s program, many have been eagerly awaiting clarity on Dorian Singer’s future.
In January, coach Whittingham met with the media to discuss the program’s happenings. He addressed the possibility of Singer returning for the 2025 season.
The gifted pass catcher had submitted his own waiver, and Utah also awaited clarity on the NCAA’s ruling on student athletes’ fifth year of eligibility. And it all just seemed to be a waiting game from there.

Is Dorian Singer returning to Utah football in 2025?
On Thursday, one week before Utah’s spring ball begins, Singer appeared on the Big 12 Pro Day list.
After checking with sources, unfortunately for Utah, he is not expected to gain that additional season of eligibility through either measure.
The hope was that the NCAA’s ruling on the fifth season of eligibility would be approved and retroactively applied to current student athletes, but that does not appear likely.
Instead, he will participate in the Big 12 Pro Day, held in Frisco, TX, along with 14 other University of Utah football players.
So, with Singer off the table for 2025, that will likely lead to some spring portal activity for Utah at the receiver position.
The program already addressed the room pretty significantly in the winter portal window. They welcomed four receivers from the portal—Creed Whittemore, Ryan Davis, Otto Tia, and Justin Stevenson.

Utah’s receiving corps is undergoing a significant transformation heading into the 2025 season. With both returning talent and fresh faces from the transfer portal, new coach Mich Simon will be looking to establish a dynamic group of playmakers for their new-look offense.
Despite all the turnover, Utah’s receiving corps has an interesting makeup. Given their experience in the program, Caldarella, Zipperer, and Williams will help integrate the newcomers into the culture of Utah football. Meanwhile, with a year under Beck at New Mexico, Davis will help lead the group through the installation of the Xs and Os.
Coach Simon will need to develop this group, and help his guys take the necessary steps forward in their progression. Utah would greatly benefit from at least a few in this group leveling up their game.
Spring camp will be crucial in determining how these pieces come together and which players emerge as the top targets for the Utes’ quarterbacks. These five weeks of spring camp will allow Whittingham and his staff to integrate all the newcomers into Utah football’s culture.
