Center J.J. Dielman Out for the Season

Related Topics: Redshirt (college sports)

News came out today that Utah football senior center J.J. Dielman will miss the rest of the season with an apparent foot injury suffered in Saturday’s 28-23 loss at Cal. Since Dielman was hurt in the fifth game of the year, he will not be eligible for a medical redshirt. Dielman was second-team All-Pac-12 in 2015 playing right tackle. He made the move to center during the offseason due to the career ending injury to center Hiva Lutui. This is certainly a tough blow to a Utah offensive line that was starting to dominate opposing front sevens.

The big question now is who starts at center?
