There’s no definitive answer yet on former BYU linebacker Francis Bernard's playing future as college football teams start up fall camps this week.
Following Utah's first practice of fall camp Wednesday, coach Kyle Whittingham did not provide any details on Bernard, who has been linked to the Utes program as a possible transfer after receiving his release from BYU last fall.
Bernard was not listed on the camp roster handed out to media Wednesday.
Whittingham did say Bryant Pirtle, a JUCO linebacker who was a part of Utah's 2018 recruiting class, is finalizing his academic requirements that would enable him to join the Utes in fall camp.
