The junior from San Clemente, California wrote the following:

“Dear Utah Football Family, I am beyond grateful for the experiences that this University and football team have provided me with. The time goes by fast and I have tried my best to be present through it all. Now, looking back, I am humbled and honored to have been part of so many special teams. I don’t doubt that the relationships I have made will carry with me through the rest of my life. I would first like to thank God and my family for being my rock and my “why”. I’ve had so many coaches and mentors along the way that have helped me become the man I am today. They know who they are. With that being said, I am excited to finish my college career with one more go at it in the Rose Bowl with my brothers. I will be declaring for the 2022 NFL draft with hopes of continuing my football career. Whatever happens in life I am confident that my experience here at Utah will have prepared me to face whatever success or adversity may come. Go Utes!” – Cole Fotheringham
