SALT LAKE CITY — When Cory Butler-Byrd was 5 years old, his uncle picked him up in his truck and drove him to his first football practice. Butler-Byrd played for the Trojans in Little League, quickly finding he loved the game.
"It made my uncle happy so I was happy," Butler-Byrd said.
He began to pattern his game after Tavon Austin and Jerry Rice, setting a goal to get to the NFL. Transferring from L.A. Harbor to Utah is a step closer to his dream.
The junior was recruited by Utah to play cornerback, but is now listed as the starter for slot receiver.
