Utah awards scholarships to walk-on players in entertaining ways — and shares it with everyone

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham looked surprised when the name of offensive lineman Kyle Lanterman's mother flashed on the phone as he addressed the team after a spring football practice session.

Running back Mason Woodward’s wife disguised her face beneath a cap and sunglasses, blending into the row of athletic trainers standing in front of the players.

Ken Niumatalolo pretended to have forgotten to mention something else when he appeared in a video with his Navy football team during preseason camp, expressing support to the Utes and his son, tight end Ali’i Niumatalolo.

Whittingham expressed mild disgust when he learned the pizza delivery guy, interrupting a team meeting, was looking for defensive end Malik Haynes.
