Demari Simpkins thrived in jersey No. 6 as a high school receiver in Florida and showed promise as No. 17 in his first two seasons in Utah's program.
Simpkins has switched this season to No. 3 for one irresistible reason: He wanted to complete the Hallandale Trio.
So here they are, quarterback Tyler Huntley (No. 1), running back Zack Moss (No. 2) and Simpkins (No. 3), teammates of the past and present, positioned as three of the Ute offense’s most important people in 2018. If not for receiver Britain Covey’s presence, the threesome might lead Utah in passing, running and receiving.
