SALT LAKE CITY — Due to the uncertain status of starting cornerback Dominique Hatfield, the Utah secondary was a question mark heading into fall camp.
Junior college transfer Cory Butler-Byrd has waited a long time for this opportunity and he's ready to take advantage.
"He's a kid that has unbelievable instincts, a lot of natural raw ability, and I love his intensity," Utah defensive backs coach Sharrieff Shaw said. "He plays with a lot of passion and he's starting to understand the defense."
You can witness the passion in practice. Butler-Byrd plays the game with a chip on his shoulder, and he doesn't take the opportunity for granted.
