Utah quarterback Nate Johnson is no longer with the Utes program and intends to transfer, according to a Friday night report from KSL Sports.
Johnson, a former four-star recruit, has played in eleven games across his two seasons with Kyle Whittingham’s program. He split time with Bryson Barnes this season with Cam Rising lost to an ACL tear. So far in 2023, he’s completed 39 of 72 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns.
Even with his small sample size, Johnson is one of the most effective dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation. He added 232 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in his 58 rushing attempts. The redshirt freshman competed in track and field in high school.
Utah is set to play Colorado at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday.
