LET'S GO: Utah Hosting SEC, Big 10 Transfers is BIGGER than you think | Utes Portal Frenzy

Jan 6th, 2026 11:00 AM

On today’s episode, J.T. Wistrcill dives into all the latest transfer portal chaos surrounding Utah football. After weeks of discussing player departures, the Utes have started to make waves with several high-profile transfer visits, including standout defenders from USC, Oklahoma, North Texas, and Wyoming. The episode provides an in-depth look at how these potential additions could reshape the lineup, especially at cornerback, safety, defensive line, and offensive line—positions hit hard by recent exits and the NFL draft. Plus, Utah has officially hired legendary alum Jordan Gross to take over as offensive line coach, replacing Jim Harding, who’s headed to Michigan. J.T. analyzes Gross’s strengths, his connections to Utah, and what he brings to the table—while also reflecting on Harding’s impact and legacy with the O Block. On the hoops side, the Utah women’s basketball team earned a massive overtime upset against No. 8 TCU, notching their fourth straight season with a top-10 win despite significant roster turnover. There’s plenty of love for the team’s resilience and the program’s consistency under new leadership. If you want to keep up with all things Utes—football transfer happenings, coaching updates, and wins across Utah athletics—this episode has you covered!
