Morning links: 4 Utah ties tabbed top college football players to watch this fall

One week into May, and it’s time to think about … college football, naturally.

In the wake of the recently completed NFL draft, NFL.com’s Chad Reuter created a list of the top 150 players to watch in college football this season — based partially on their importance to their college team and partially on their value as an NFL prospect.

Four players with Utah ties made the list.

The top local player to appear the list is former Salem Hills star Porter Gustin, the USC senior linebacker who comes in at No. 41.

“Gustin’s junior year was limited to four games due to injury, but he expects to be healthy this fall,” Reuter wrote.
