Utah running back Zack Moss is staying in school through the 2019 football season, partly because he wants to obliterate the program’s career rushing record.
Beyond the yardage, Moss’ legacy will include altering how the Utes staff his position. In each of the first six seasons of Utah’s Pac-12 membership, a junior college transfer led the team in rushing. Moss changed that as a sophomore in 2017, and now Utah has a long list of running backs who are developing in the program after being recruited out of high school.
John White (2011-12), Bubba Poole (2013), Devontae Booker (2014-15) and Joe Williams (2016) were JC transfers who thrived at Utah.
