Carrington sees Huntley as a younger version of Marcus Mariota, a former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
“Well he's not up there yet, but almost; he's young,” Carrington said following Utah’s 54-16 win over San Jose State Saturday. “But he reminds me of Marcus a lot, just how he can run and throw off the run, and throw off his back foot like 70 yards if he wants to — make people miss.
“When it's all said and done — one of the greats.”
Whittingham, who is usually fairly conservative with hyping players up or comparing them to other players, said he saw similarities in the two quarterbacks.
