SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s special teams duo of Matt Gay and Mitch Wishnowsky are the latest Utes to be named to preseason honors.
Gay was named to the 30-man Lou Groza Award preseason watchlist Wednesday by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The senior placekicker looks to defend his 2017 Lou Groza Award win and become the second repeat winner in history. He is joined by last year finalist Dominik Eberle of Utah State.
Although not named the starter in Game 1 of last season, Gay quickly emerged as the leading placekicker and finished the season with 30 made field goals for 88.
