Utah Utes Transfer Portal Tracker

In this story:
It's that time of the year in college football and Christmas is around the corner as well, as on December 4, the college football transfer portal officially opened.
According to reports, there have been well over 1,000 players who have entered their names into the portal with the hope of finding a new home. One of the programs that has already seen a fair share of departures is the Utah Utes. As of Monday, they have already seen 12 players enter their names into the portal, and it wouldn't be shocking if there were more to follow.
Here is a running list of Utah players who have entered their names into the transfer portal. It will be updated daily, and will also include where they landed when they announce their destination.
