SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah may have a new No. 1 receiver after former Oregon wideout Darren Carrington signed with the Utes.
The university confirmed Thursday that the senior is in Salt Lake City and will join the team but is not immediately able to be with the Utes on the field. Utah would not elaborate on the remaining hurdles to get him fully cleared as fall practices begin Friday.
Carrington was dismissed from the Ducks two weeks ago, soon after he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound San Diego native steps onto the Utah team as the most experienced and successful receiver on the roster.
