A lot was asked of Pledger early in the year to fill the void left by Rhamondre Stevenson while he was out due to suspension, and he did some nice things in his time. In nine games last season, he ran for 451 yards and five touchdowns. His breakout performance was his outing against Texas in the Red River Showdown when he had 131 yards on the ground and two scores in the quadruple overtime Sooners win.
Pledger now joins a Utes team that finished the season at 3-2 in their abbreviated conference slate, winning each of their final three games. He’ll be set to make his debut with his new team on Sep. 2nd at home against Weber State.
