SALT LAKE CITY — He caused fits for opposing Pac-12 offenses last year and is set on having an even better season in a starting role.
Defensive end Kylie Fitts is ready to take the next step and make a name for himself as Utah’s next premier defensive lineman, joining the ranks of former Utes Nate Orchard, Trevor Reilly, Star Lotulelei, and a slew of other successful defenders to come out of the University of Utah.
It didn’t take long for the former UCLA Bruin to fit in to Utah’s already stout defense. In his junior season, Fitts stepped up when fellow defensive end Hunter Dimick went down with an injury and totaled 41 total tackles, eight tackles for loss for 45 yards and a team high seven sacks.
