Utah football is loaded with talent like Cam Rising, Tavion Thomas, Dalton Kincaid, Clark Philips III and many more for the coming season. Utah has had as many as eight players from a single season drafted to the NFL but can this years group pass that number.

Clark Philips and Dalton Kincaid will both have a chance to be first round picks in the 2023 NFL draft but what do they need to do this season to up their stock. Will Cam Rising continue to improve and become a first round pick and can Tavion Thomas become more of a receiving threat in 2022.

On today's Locked on Utes, JT Wistrcill looks at what some of the Utah Utes star players draft stock is heading into the 2022-2023 NFL season and how those players can improve their stock. JT also looks at a few surprise Utah Utes who could declare for the 2023 NFL draft.

This Utah Football team is loaded with talent, including Tavion Thomas, who was named to the Doak Walker Award watch list. Can the Utah Utes repeat as Pac-12 champs and take it to the next level by making the college football playoff. We answer those questions and discuss what makes Tavion Thomas a special back.

While the USC Trojans and Oregon Ducks look prime for strong seasons, the clear class of the Pac-12 is still the Utah Utes. Utah football has a great chance to go back to back as Pac-12 champions, but they no doubt have higher expectations. College football is littered with talented teams, but this Utah team proved in the Rose Bowl they can hang with anyone.

On today's Locked on Utes, JT Wistrcill is joined by Cole Bagley of FanNation AllUtes. They discuss how far Utah can go in 2022, what makes Tavion Thomas special and why Bryson Barnes could win Utah's backup quarterback job.

On today's Locked on Utes, JT Wistrcill is joined by host of the Locked on Pac-12 podcast, Spencer McLaughlin, to discuss what's next for the Pac-12 and Utah as talks have stalled with the Big-12 Conference and Cam Rising.
