- If you would like to see some high quality photos from the Rose Bowl you can find some here.
- If they build Covey a statue, where do you think they should put it? I just hope they make a desktop sized version to buy at the team store.
Hey @UofUFineArts, know any good sculptors? https://t.co/X8BzEGg7K7

- The Utes picked up a player walk-on commitment from an offensive linemen. This is a great pickup as Edmonds was a Regional Lineman of the Year.

- Mohamoud Diabate announced he will be transferring to the Utes. Over the past 3 years at Florida, the former 4-star LB has racked up 170 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks. This is a welcome addition to the team as both Devin Lloyd and Nephi Sewell have announced for the draft. This will be an interesting story to follow as Utah will open the 2022 season in Gainesville.
I’m incredibly thankful for the past 3 years here at the University of Florida. Thank you to all who invested their time into me during my time. I appreciate all the fans of Gator Nation and the support throughout my time here in Gainesville, I will always be a Gator. pic.twitter.com/tf8OsEaVER

The best part about the Mohamoud Diabate pickup for the Utes? He did his homework and reached out Utah… How often do you hear of a player of his caliber doing that? That should tell everyone he fits the Utah mold. #UteNation #GoUtes
