SALT LAKE CITY — Lowell Lotulelei has some unfinished business to take care of this year.
The hard-nosed defensive tackle enters his senior year with a clean bill of health and a vision to dismantle opponents one-by-one. He’s intent on finishing the job the University of Utah failed to complete last season by coming up short on a Pac-12 championship berth. Or as he calls it, to “get over that hump.”
Lotulelei spurned an early opportunity to jump to the NFL — a dream for any collegiate football player — to take care of some personal business and resume his spot on a veteran defensive line unit feared by many in the Pac-12.
