Jaylen Dixon and the Ute receivers are making strides as Britain Covey remains hopeful of playing vs. BYU

The most productive season for a receiver in Utah football history came 10 years ago, when David Reed caught 81 passes, even as the Utes played two quarterbacks who were new to Division I football.

Reed’s record, with the aid of quarterbacks Terrance Cain and Jordan Wynn, makes him the answer to one of the tougher all-time trivia questions involving the Utes. Jaylen Dixon is in a quiz category of his own as the answer to this question. Who was the Utes’ No. 2 receiver last year behind star Britain Covey?

He has emerged in preseason camp as a favorite of coach Kyle Whittingham, who keeps raving about his speed.
