Utah County High School Player of the Week – Week 6 – Cruz Christensen

SALT LAKE CITY – The Mr. Mac Utah County High School Player of the Week is awarded each week to the top prep football players in Utah County. It honors athletes for their performances on the gridiron and exceptional play. Our winner this week was Lone Peak High School quarterback Cruz Christensen.

Utah County Player of the Week – Cruz Christensen, Lone Peak

Christensen and the Lone Peak Knights hosted Corner Canyon High School in a highly-anticipated Region 3 showdown last Friday. Aided by a relentless defense that forced the Chargers into five turnovers, Christensen and the Knights’ offense capitalized early and often on their way to a statement 42-21 victory.

Christensen and the Pula twins shared a strong connection as his four touchdown passes went to them. Jaron hauled in a hat trick of TD’s while Kenan tallied the other as Christensen completed 17-of-30 passes for 223 yards in the win. He also added a rushing touchdown to cap the scoring on the night.

Every week, KSL Sports will name a Utah County high school player of the week in partnership with Mr. Mac.
