THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
F
ounded in 1850 and encompassing 1,500 acres in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain range, the University of Utah prepares students to live and compete in the global workplace. Utah became a member of the Pac-12 Conference on July 1, 2011. With an enrollment of over 31,000, the U. offers 100 undergraduate and more than 90 graduate level fields of study. It has earned a top-tier grading from the Academic Ranking of World Universities for 11 consecutive years, and offers nationally-ranked programs in law, pharmacy, mathematics, business, biomedical engineering, family medicine, life sciences, entertainment arts and engineering. The U. made CollegeAtlas.org’s 2014 A-List— which grades schools on academic quality, accessibility and affordability—ranking in the top 12 for both in-state and out-of-state tuition. RESEARCH The University of Utah ranks among the top public research universities in the nation. From university-developed technology, the U. has launched nearly 127 new startups over the last seven years, consistently placing it in the top 10 in the nation for university startup creation. Geneticist Mario R. Capecchi received the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on gene targeting. Çağan Şekercioğlu, assistant professor of biology, won the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey’s highest prize for 2014. Peter J. 6 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL
Stang, distinguished professor of chemistry, received the 2013 Priestley Medal and 2011 National Medal of Science for his pioneering work in supramolecular chemistry. TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTER SCIENCES In 2015, the U.’s entertainment arts and engineering program was ranked first in the country for the second time in three years. The University’s School of Computing was founded in 1965, and began a pioneering legacy in computer graphics and visualization that continues today. The internationallyrecognized Scientific Computing & Imaging Institute is a leader in creating new scientific computing techniques, tools and systems to help solve wide-ranging challenges of human life. The College of Engineering was ranked 57th by U.S. News & World Report in 2014. MEDICINE University of Utah Health Care was named one of the “100 Great Hospitals in America” in 2014, and in 2012 ranked among the top 10 academic medical centers in the nation for the third year running. The Utah Genome Project is one of several innovative medical research programs at the U. Other notable programs include the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Clinical Neurosciences Center and the Moran Eye Center.
BUSINESS SCHOOL The David Eccles School of Business’ undergraduate program was ranked No. 47 by U.S. News & World Report in 2014. It also placed in the top 25 for entrepreneurship for the fourth straight year by the Princeton Review. The Executive MBA program was ranked 30th in the nation by Financial Times. LAW SCHOOL The S.J. Quinney College of Law was ranked second in the nation, just behind Yale Law School, for student clinical opportunities according to data compiled by National Jurist magazine in 2014. CAMPUS LIFE A lively residential living experience is provided in the beautiful Heritage Commons, which served as the Athletes Village for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.

RICE- ECCLES STADIUM
RICE- ECCLES FACTS First Game: Sept. 12, 1998 Seating Capacity: 45,807 Largest Crowd: 47,619 Chair Seats: 15,015 Suites: 25 Surface: FieldTurf
S
ince the gates to Rice-Eccles Stadium opened 17 years ago on September 12, 1998, fans have poured through them in record numbers. In fact, for the past seven seasons, attendance at Utah home football games has exceeded the venue’s seating capacity. Rice-Eccles Stadium’s seating capacity was increased to 45,807 prior to the start of the 2014 season, when the Utes averaged over-capacity crowds of 46,436 to set the school single-season attendance record. Entering the 2015 season, Utah has played to 31-straight sellouts in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. Of the sellouts, 28 were played before crowds that exceeded the stadium’s capacity (which was 45,017 from 19982013). There have been 49 standing-room-only crowds over the past 16 years. With the venue’s enlarged seating capacity in 2014, six of the top 10 crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded last year. A record crowd of 47,619 watched the Utes defeat No. 20 USC while 47,528 were on hand for Oregon’s visit last November. Four other games have gone over the 46,000 mark, including California (46,768) in 2003, TCU (46,522) in 2010, BYU (46,488) in 2008 and USC (46,037) in 2012. With its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of the Salt Lake Valley, Rice-Eccles Stadium is perhaps the most beautiful stadium in the country. The eyes of the world were on the venue in 2002 as it hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. It is the third stadium located on the site, predated by Ute Stadium (1927) and Rice Stadium (1972). In 1996, Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fund-raising campaign to replace aging 32,500-seat Rice Stadium. A lead gift of $10 million soon came in from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, steered by former Ute All-America skier Spence Eccles. The total construction costs ran $50 million, of 8 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL
which $20 million came from private gifts, $10 million from athletics department bonding, $12 million from the University of Utah and $8 million from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Committee. Preliminary construction work began in June 1997. Two days after the final home game that fall, wrecking crews moved in and demolished Rice Stadium. Only the south end zone bleachers and the Rice name (Robert L. Rice contributed $1 million in the 1972 renovation) would carry over to the new venue. Rising from the rubble less than 10 months later was Rice-Eccles Stadium, an imposing concrete, steel and glass edifice that dominates the Salt Lake skyline. Visible for miles is the stadium box, located 14 stories above ground and encased in a 400-squarefoot expanse of tempered glass. The box is supported by twin towers containing four high-speed elevators. Occupants of the stadium box are treated to sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east and downtown Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. Suites are located on the first two levels of the stadium box, while the top level is reserved for the media. The Cleone and Spence Eccles Scholarship Box on Level 4 seats 450 and has indoor-outdoor seating, along with eight suites. The Mezzanine on Level 5 provides another 17 suites. Level 6 features the Varsity Reception Room, which seats 400, as well as the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor. Three tiers of press seating can accommodate more than 100 media representatives, and there are also booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former “Voice of the Utes”). Upgrades have continued in recent years. In June 2003, Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for a video display system and new scoreboards. In 2007, an LED board stretching 200 x 4 feet across the north end zone was made possible by Utah Sports Properties at a
cost of $500,000. A second LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands in 2012. The north endzone scoreboards were replaced in 2014. Plans call for a new and enlarged state-ofthe-art videoboard and sound system to be installed behind the south end zone stands prior to the start of the 2016 season. The stadium floor has also changed with the times and new FieldTurf was installed in June 2009, replacing the initial FieldTurf version from 2002. Previous surfaces (dating back to old Ute Field) included natural grass from 1927-71 and again in 2000-01, AstroTurf from 1972-95 and SportGrass from 1995-99. The south end zone bleachers, built in 1982, house the locker rooms, the Gary L. Crocker Stadium Club suite and a band room. The plaza behind the south end zone was dedicated on Aug. 21, 2003 as the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games Cauldron Park. The plaza also includes the Utah Athletics main ticket office.

UTAH TRADITIONS
T
he University of Utah officially adopted the nickname “Utes” for its athletic teams in 1972. The school uses the nickname with permission of the Ute Tribal Council. “What is a Ute?” The Utes are a great basin Indian tribe. The Utes were one of the first tribes to acquire the horse from the Spanish, which transformed their culture and enabled them to become resourceful and valiant. The Utes speak their own language that is derived from the Uto-Aztecan language family. Currently, there are more than 3,000 Ute tribal members and half of them live on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. The Utes are important contributors to Utah’s economy through distribution of their energy resources and raising stock. “The Pride of Utah” Marching Utes began in the 1940s as a military band. In the turbulent ’60s, support for the band dwindled, and in 1969, the Associated Students for the University of Utah (ASUU) discontinued its funding. The band was revived in 1976, and since then, the “Pride of Utah” Marching Utes have performed at all home football games, as well as numerous NFL and college bowl games. To the victor goes the Beehive Boot. The authentic pioneer boot has been awarded annually since 1971 to the Utah school with the best record against in-state foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 44-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 13 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ‘11 and ‘13), BYU 22 times and Utah State nine times. The Block U (elevation 5,300 feet above sea level) was built on Mount Van Cott bordering the Utah campus in 1907. Lights on the 100-foot-tall landmark 10 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL
are illuminated primarily for athletic events and notify people in the Salt Lake Valley that the Utes are playing at home (the lights flash after a Utah victory). Originally built with limestone, the Block U was later replaced by a cement version. In 1969, the design was modified and 124 lights were installed. A fundraising campaign in 2006 raised $400,000 to renovate the aging landmark. Slabs of concrete and steel rebar now reinforce the 5,000 feet of surface area. Another major improvement was the installation of light emitting diode (LED) red and white lights, which are controlled through a wireless system. The MUSS, one of the most avid and vocal student fan clubs in the nation, is nearly 6,000 strong at Ute home football games. The name MUSS was originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (… No rival band of college fans dare meet us in the
muss). Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section. The MUSS turns 14 years old this season. Originally known as the Student Fan Club and the Utah Fan Club, the group adopted the name MUSS for the 2002 football season. MUSS members are easily identified by their customized tee-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game. They have a number of other traditions during football games, including the Third Down Jump, in which members jump around and make noise every time the opposing team prepares for a third down play. Other rituals include the U of U Chop, which occurs every time the band plays a specific percussion song and involves MUSS members forming a U with their hands and “chopping” to the beat of the music, and the First Down Chant (members raise their hands in unison, yelling “first down,” and mimic the referees by pointing their arm in the direction of the first down). The line of “fives” hanging in front of the MUSS section refers to the False Start Tally. Whenever the opposing team is charged with a false start, the MUSS hangs a numeral five in front of its section indicating a five-yard penalty. Every time the Utes score, the band plays the school fight song, signaling the MUSS to sing along to the words of Utah Man/Fan. After every game, the Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of Utah Man. Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2004 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U mentioned in the U of U Chop and raising it toward the sky. The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The football team began sporting a MUSS decal on the back of its helmets in 2004.

KYLE WHITTINGHAM HEAD COACH
K
yle Whittingham, the 2008 National Coach of the Year, has participated in more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. As an assistant and head coach, Whittingham has participated in 170 victories in his 20 years at Utah. Eighty-five of those (85-43) have come in 10 years as the head coach. Whittingham has been almost unbeatable in bowl games and is tied with John Robinson (USC/ UNLV) for the best bowl winning percentage of any coach in NCAA history with an .889 mark. The two have identical 8-1 bowl records and the NCAA minimum is seven wins. Whittingham is the only person who was involved in all of Utah’s nine-consecutive bowl wins from 1999-2009, which tied the second-longest bowl win streak in NCAA history. He was the head coach for six of those wins and the defensive coordinator for the first three. He came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the next year. On December 8, 2004, Whittingham was named the school’s 20th head coach. His first victory came three weeks later when he co-coached (with Urban Meyer) the 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh. His first regular-season victory was
Year at Utah: 11th Career Record: 85-43 Bowl Record: 8-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl co-coach)
against Arizona in the 2005 season opener. In 2008, Whittingham engineered the best season in Utah football history when the Utes finished 13-0 and routed Alabama—a team that had spent five weeks at No. 1—in the Sugar Bowl. Utah finished the season with a No. 2 AP ranking and Whittingham was recognized as the National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards committee. The country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008, Utah beat four top-25 teams—two that finished in the top 10. In addition to his national awards, Whittingham was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. He has had four teams finish in the top 25 in his head coaching tenure: No. 2 in 2008 (AP), No. 18 in 2009 (AP), No. 23 in 2010 (Coaches) and No. 21 in 2014 (AP). Utah appeared in every College Football Playoff ranking in the CFP’s inaugural season in 2014 with a final rank of No. 22. Last season, while leading Utah to its best overall (9-4) and conference (5-4) record since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, Whittingham was named to the watch list for the 2014 Dodd Trophy and was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year Award.

league championship game until the final week of the regular season. They bounced back to beat Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl and finish with an 8-5 record. The 2012 Utes won three of their final five Pac-12 games and the 2013 season included an upset of No. 5 Stanford. Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. He has coached 12 players to major All-America team honors—among them 10 first-team and two second-team honorees. First-team All-Americans were Luther Elliss (1994, consensus defensive lineman), Eric Weddle (2006, consensus defensive back), Louie Sakoda (2007, punter; 2008, unanimous consensus place kicker), Zane Beadles (2009, offensive line), Shaky Smithson (2010, punt returner), Star Lotulelei (2012, defensive tackle), Reggie Dunn (2012, kick returner), Tom Hackett (2014, punter), Nate Orchard (2014, defensive end) and Kaelin Clay (2014, returner). His second-team AllAmericans were Morgan Scalley (2004, defensive back) and Caleb Schlauderaff (2010, offensive line). Hackett became the first Ray Guy Award winner in school history in 2014 and Orchard received the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end. Whittingham’s players have won 63 first-team all-conference awards, including 11 in Utah’s first four seasons of Pac-12 play. Among them were two-time first-team honorees Hackett and Lotulelei (2011-12).

UTE SENIOR PROFILE
Senior wide receiver Kenneth Scott led the Utes with 48 receptions last season, totaling 506 yards and four touchdowns.
NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED Kenneth Scott, the leader of Utah’s receiving corps, believes in earning and appreciating everything you have. By Dominic Nguyen Utah Athletics Communications
K
enneth Scott is the undisputed senior leader of the Air Force Gang, the self-titled name of Utah’s receiving corps. But for Scott, it is more than just a name. “Air Force Gang is all about tough and physical guys going out there, and doing the dirty work no matter what the statistical production may be,” Scott explained. “It’s about grinding, playing hard every play, and making sure everyone knows we are coming out and going as hard as we possibly can. It’s a culture.” It’s a culture that has been instilled in Scott since he was a young boy. Scott grew up in Rialto, Calif., as a two-sport athlete playing football and basketball. Along with organized sports, Scott enjoyed playing with his older brothers. That experience helped develop his tough, physical playing style.
“Back home, we would play in the streets and it would get extremely physical.” Scott explained. “I would play with my brothers’ friends and I would get tossed around. I would get bloody noses playing with them, so I had to play physical if I wanted to be better.” When his high school years came around, Scott had a difficult decision to make: continue playing basketball—which he admits was and still is his first love—or just play football. Scott’s stepfather helped push him in the right direction. “He told me, ‘You’re 6’3” and you play the post. Your future in basketball isn’t bright, and I’m just trying to be honest with you. However, your size and basketball skills will translate into a dominant force on the football field,’” Scott recalled. While he was sad to give up basketball, Scott realized his stepfather was right so he decided to
pursue his football dreams. Following a redshirt year at Utah in 2010, Scott quickly earned playing time and was given the label of possession receiver in the offense. At first, that title came as an insult to him, but his view has since changed. “I’m just playing in the scheme. I didn’t like being called a possession receiver, but the coaches broke it down for me. They told me being called a possession receiver is a title that you want,” Scott explained. “All the greats in the Hall of Fame, with the exception of Randy Moss, are possession receivers. You look at Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin and Hines Ward, they are all known as possession receivers. “Being a possession receiver means being the most reliable, being a great route runner, being physical, and being an all-around type of player,” Scott went on to say. “When it comes down to it, the team relies on the possession receiver to move the chains and keep the offense on the field.” However, to say that Scott has been merely reliable is inaccurate. He led last year’s team with 48 receptions, was second with 506 receiving yards, and tied for the team high with four touchdown receptions. Through four games this season, Scott ranks third on the team with 12 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. In one of the best performances of his career, Scott led the Utes with six catches for 75 yards and a seven-yard score in their 62-20 win at No. 13 Oregon on Sept. 26. Any successful wide receiver will tell you it is important to have good chemistry with your quarterback. Scott’s relationship with Ute starting quarterback Travis Wilson goes beyond just good chemistry, it is a good friendship. “The relationship I have with Travis is really good. When he got here, I was the first to greet him and really get to know him.” Scott explained. Their friendship blossomed during a trying time for Wilson during the 2013 season when it appeared as though a season-ending concussion might also lead to the end his football career. “I was there helping him out, sticking with him, going out to dinner and movies and hanging out with him. Our relationship is solid, and we still do all of that stuff. He’s a real good friend of mine and we look out for each other,” Scott confided. That mentality not only applies to Wilson, but extends to the whole team. That’s one of the reasons Scott was voted a team captain this year. “It’s a great honor,” Scott said. “I’m a humble guy so I didn’t think too much of it. But the team voting me captain showed the respect they have for me and that they look up to me, and it’s really cool because I’m just (continued on page 25) 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL 23
UTE SENIOR PROFILE
Jared Norris has led the Utes in tackles twice this season, including 10 against Utah State. He also had 10 against Fresno State.
PLAY PASSIONATELY, PLAY INTELLIGENTLY For senior linebacker Jared Norris, this simple formula has served him well. By Mady White Utah Athletics Communications
A
lways involved in sports while growing up, Jared Norris figured out early on that football would definitely be in his future. Norris got his start at a young age playing flag football and moved on to tackle football when he turned nine years old. It didn’t take long for Norris to develop a passion for football, and he has never looked back. While growing up Bakersfield, Calif., Norris remembers playing catch in the yard with his step dad and having his father serve as his first football coach. Although he loved playing football, Norris didn’t even think about playing collegiately until years later. “I didn’t really think it was possible at first, but 24 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL
as the recruiting letters started coming in it seemed like it was nearer and nearer to something I could obtain,” said Norris. Once coaches started looking at him, Norris decided playing Division I football was his main objective. Starting all 13 games at linebacker last season, Norris finished third in Pac-12 Conference with 8.9 tackles per game and led Utah with 116 stops. The honorable mention all-conference selection also recorded 13.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks. Norris said that watching as much game film as possible is a key element for him to prepare for games
since he is able to learn by watching himself and others. The more knowledgeable he becomes about the game, the better he feels he is able to read the other teams and make big plays. “I feel like you come to a point where you can only get so big, fast and strong; then it’s a matter of how smart you can be on the field that makes you a better player,” Norris explained. “I try to be as smart as I can be on the field.” Norris knew that committing to play football at the University of Utah would be something special. “I just fell in love with the school right off the bat,” he said. Norris remembered the coaching staff as being very welcoming during his official visit, and he knew right away he could see himself being a Ute. He explained the Utah football program has something to offer that few programs possess. “I think everybody that has come here—and even been to other schools—realizes that this is a family here and it is more of a family atmosphere. We are all really close with one another, and I believe that
UTE SENIOR PROFILE
is why we win a lot of games,” Norris explained. As a player in the Pac-12, Norris feels he is always being tested by a high level of competition in one of the nation’s top conferences. In addition to the excitement of playing the game itself, he said the players sense the high-charged emotion from the thousands of fans packed inside the stadium, home or away. Yet, Norris confided the players try not to think about the pressure that comes along with big games. “It’s weird. When you get on the field, you get this tunnel vision like there is no one around really,” said Norris. “You have to try to calm yourself down because if you are all over the place it is hard to make plays and keep a level head.” Before games, Norris likes to keep to himself and remain quiet, calm and collected. “I just visualize in my head making big plays,” he said. Playing on a team that is so close, there are many memories the players have cherished together. When asked about his favorite memory, Norris had a hard time selecting only one. “We have won so many games here. I mean, obviously, winning games here is a great memory,” he said. He also recalled a moment from the first day of practice his freshman year. “All of the linebackers used to be pretty crazy
here, and our two senior linebackers came in the locker room on a scooter and crashed it into the lockers. I was just a freshman, so I didn’t know what was going on, but that made quite the first impression,” Norris said with a smile. He believes those are the memories that will always come to mind when he thinks of his days as a Utah football player. He’s enjoyed the fact that the entire team has had fun together and has been like a family. Outside of playing football, Norris enjoys skateboarding and snowboarding. He has been an avid skateboarder since he was about five years old and has even attended a professional camp. Norris picked up snowboarding when he moved to Utah. “I don’t do anything too crazy, but it keeps me entertained,” he chuckled. As his senior year begins to unfold, Norris is excited to lead the team as one of its captains and hopes to have a great season to close out his career. Through four games, he is tied for the team lead with 32 tackles and has three pass breakups. Norris has led Utah in tackles twice, notching 10 stops against both Utah State and Fresno State. When his Utah career ends, Norris doesn’t know exactly what the future holds for him, but he has created a lot of opportunities. He has already earned
Senior linebacker Jared Norris finished third in Pac-12 Conference with 8.9 tackles per game in 2014. his undergraduate degree in economics and is hoping to get a shot at playing in the NFL. “I might just take a year off and get away from the work life of being in football,” said Norris. “But for right now, I’m just focused on making my last year at Ute the best it can possibly be.”
KENNETH SCOTT
Kenneth Scott (continued from page 23) being myself. I try talking to everyone and treating everyone like my best friend.” Scott has not had the typical collegiate career. He received a medical hardship extension for the two seasons he missed with injuries in 2010 and 2013. Both times, Scott feels he came back a better player. “I swear, it’s a mental game,” he pointed out. “I have a quote on my arm: ‘Blessed is the man that thinketh in his heart, so is he. He who makes it by struggle makes it the best.’ So, if you’re going through the struggles, you’re going to be better as long as you have that positive mentality. I just had to stay positive and stay mentally strong. “A lot of people would be discouraged by injuries,” Scott continued. “But for me, I’m still living and breathing, so the injuries were not a big deal. I just had to rehab and work hard to be better than what I was.” A hard worker on the field, Scott is no different off the field. Already completing a degree in human development and family studies, he is currently working on a second degree in

economics that he will finish in December. “Back home, all the kids call me a legend,” Scott chuckled. “So I wanted to use that influence to inspire them. I want them to know that you have to get as much education as you can. Football doesn’t last forever. It’s important to be book smart and street smart. Education and connections can take you a long way in life, and I’m just trying to educate and better myself.” Scott’s work ethic is something that has come from a deep connection with struggles he’s seen around him. Growing up was not easy for Scott, but it made him the man he is today. “When I’m at home late at night, I start thinking about how short this life can be,” Scott explained. “I have friends that have passed away and friends in jail. A particular friend I have in jail has told me how blessed I am to be where I am. It makes me enjoy where I am and I appreciate it all, but I have to keep pushing harder. Life is too short to be doing all of that BS. I have to work hard to be a better person, and in turn everyone will rally around me.”

2015 CRIMSON CLUB ATHLETIC FUND HALL OF FAME CLASS
Jensen played professionally seven years in Turkey and one in the CBA. He got his start in coaching under Rick Majerus at Saint Louis from 2007-11 before becoming the head coach of the NBA Developmental League’s Canton Charge. Jensen became a player development assistant with the Utah Jazz in 2013-14, and was elevated to assistant coach a year later. Melonie Kent An outstanding centerfielder with excellent speed on the base paths, Melonie Kent was Utah softball’s first All-American and led the program to its inaugural Melonie Kent league titles in the early 1980s. Kent earned all-conference and all-region honors in 1980 and ’81, leading the Utes to league titles both years and 35 wins in 1980. The Utes’ most prolific base stealer throughout her career, Kent had her best year as a senior in 1981, hitting .355 with three triples and 10 stolen bases. She also recorded a sparkling .988 fielding percentage, committing just one error. Kent was named to the 1981 AIAW Division I All-America First Team. Kent has been an educator Jamal Anderson

T
he University of Utah enshrined four former Ute athletes, one former coach, a contributor and one team into the Crimson Club Athletics Fund Hall of Fame on Friday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium & Tower. They will also be recognized during tonight’s game. The 2015 Hall of Fame class includes Jamal Anderson (football), Alex Jensen (men’s basketball), Melonie Kent (softball), Angie Leonard (gymnastics), George Seifert (football coach), Kay and Zeke Dumke Jr. (contributor), and the 1998 men’s basketball team that finished as the national runner-up.
Jamal Anderson Utah’s top rusher as a senior and a two-year starter, Jamal Anderson helped the Ute football team reach back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history before embarking on an eight-year career in the NFL. Rushing for 958 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior in 1993, Anderson helped lead the Utes to a seven-win season and a Freedom Bowl berth against USC. Anderson went on to play eight seasons in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, recording 5,336 rushing yards, 1,645 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns. He was the NFC’s top rusher and firstteam All-Pro in 1998, leading the Falcons to the Super Bowl. Anderson smoothly transitioned from player to broadcaster as an NFL and college football analyst. He is also the owner Jam Entertainment. Alex Jensen One of the leading scorers and rebounders in Runnin’ Ute basketball history, Alex Jensen was a part of four conference championship teams, four NCAA Tournament appearances, and a national runner-up finish in 1998. Jensen ranks 22nd in career points (1,279), seventh in rebounds (896) and sixth in 3-point percentage (.413). He was named first-team All-WAC in 1999 and the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year in 2000. Following his collegiate career,

Angie Leonard The 1999 uneven bars NCAA national champion, Angie Leonard was a five-time All-American for the Ute gymnastics team from 1996-99. Leonard earned three career top-six placings at the NCAA Championships. She developed into one of the NCAA’s top gymnasts as sophomore, finishing the regular season ranked fifth in the nation in the all-around. She scored a perfect 10.0 on bars against Stanford. In the 1997 postseason, Leonard captured NCAA regional titles in the all-around, vault and bars. She also earned first-team All-America honors in two events at
George Seifert 50 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL
George Seifert After playing end, guard and linebacker for the Utes, George Seifert began his legendary football coaching career as a graduate assistant with Utah’s 1964 Liberty Bowl championship team. Seifert was a college head coach at Westminster College and Cornell and worked with several programs as an assistant coach. His final stop was at Stanford, where he joined head coach Bill Walsh. Seifert followed Walsh to the NFL and helped guide the San Francisco 49ers to three Super Bowl victories as defensive coordinator from 1980-88. He then took over as the 49ers’ head coach, leading them to Super Bowl titles in 1989 and ‘94. In 11 seasons with San Francisco and Carolina, he recorded 124 wins and the 13th-best regular-season winning percentage in league history of .648. Kay and Zeke Dumke Jr. Kay and Zeke Dumke Jr. have been tremendous contributors to University of Utah Athletics. Their generosity has had a positive effect on both Utah men’s and women’s programs, and they have been prominent visionaries in the women’s sports program. The most visible show of their support is the Dumke Gymnastics Center (1998), the Ute Soccer Field (2002), the Dumke Family Softball Stadium (2014), and the women’s locker room in the new Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility (2015). The family has also established endowed scholarships for soccer and gymnastics and supported projects benefiting the entire University.
1998 Men’s Basketball Team The Runnin’ Utes took down defending national champion Arizona in the NCAA West Regional final and defeated top-ranked North Carolina in the Final Four before falling to Kentucky in the title game. Rick Majerus’ team vaulted into the top 10 of the national polls in early December, won the WAC regular-season title with a 12-2 record, and finished 30-4 overall. Senior center Michael Doelac led the way in scoring (16.1 ppg), rebounding (14.2 ppg) and blocked shots (33), while classmate Drew Hansen was the team’s top 3-point shooter (45.6 percent). Junior point guard Andre Miller was the team’s second-best scorer (14.2 ppg), and put up team-highs in assists (5.2 apg) and steals (73). Sophomore Alex Jensen was the team’s defensive stopper and ranked second in rebounding (5.8 rpg); while another sophomore, Finland native Hanno Möttölä, provided the team’s third doublefigure scoring punch (12.5 ppg).

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG
VERSE I am a Utah Man/Fan, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen. Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far! CHORUS Who am I, sir, A Utah Man/Fan am I! A Utah Man/Fan, sir, Will be ‘til I die. Ki-yi!
CHORUS (same) VERSE And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row, And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go. No matter if a freshman green or in a senior’s gown, The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town. CHORUS (same)
VERSE We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss. No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I!
VERSE We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man/Fan Am I.” Go Utes!

ADMINISTRATION
Year at Utah: 29th 1987-present: Director of Athletics 1998-present: Special Assistant to the President
J
ust 37 years old when he was appointed as Utah’s director of athletics, Chris Hill, Ph.D., has led the school’s athletics programs to unprecedented success since his hiring in October of 1987. Now in his 29th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. Among Hill’s most monumental accomplishments was spearheading Utah’s invitation to join the Pac-12 Conference in the summer of 2010, a move preceded by the football team’s historic BCS appearances in the 2004 and 2008 seasons. Utah has won nine NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure— five by the ski team and four by the gymnastics team—and has finished as the national runner-up 16 times. Those runner-up finishes include a No. 2 national ranking by the football team after its victory over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, and by the 1998 men’s basketball team. He has hired three coaches who won National Coach of the Year honors at Utah: football coaches Urban Meyer (2004) and Kyle Whittingham (2008), and men’s basketball coach Rick Majerus (1998). Hill has served on several national boards, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (200409), chair of the NCAA Championships/Competition Cabinet (1997-98) and the NCAA Management Council Administrative Committee. He was on NACDA’s executive committee from 2002-06. The football program, which had not played in a bowl in the 22 years immediately preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 12-4 in bowl games during his term. Utah’s other athletic programs have also thrived under his leadership. The men’s basketball team has played in 14 NCAA Tournaments—advancing to the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes played Kentucky for the NCAA Championship. The women’s basketball team has 15 NCAA appearances, playing in the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight in 2006, and was the 2013 WNIT runner-up. The gymnastics team has made 19 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 28 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or 58 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL
second in the nation 14 times under his watch. He has received a number of awards, including: 2011 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour West Region Athletic Director of the Year, finalist for the 2011 Athletic Director of the Year by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, 2011 Utah YMCA Man of the Year, 2004 Mountain West Conference’s Commissioner’s Award, 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year. The former Rutgers’basketball captain was inducted into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports awarded him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award. The New Jersey native has served in five capacities at the U., starting in 1973-74 as a graduate assistant basketball coach on Bill Foster’s staff. After coaching boys’ basketball at Salt Lake’s Granger High from 1975-79 (he was the 1975 4A Coach of the Year), Hill returned to the U. as an assistant coach to Jerry Pimm (1979-81). From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before coming back to athletics as the Crimson Club director (1985-86). In 1987, he became the director of athletics. Hill was the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah from 1981-85, during which time he developed a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities. As an undergraduate, Hill won three letters in basketball at Rutgers and co-captained the 1971-72 team. His bachelor’s degree from Rutgers is in math education (1972). He holds a master’s in education (Utah, 1974), and a Ph.D. in educational administration (Utah, 1982). His wife Kathy, a faculty member in the U.’s Department of Special Education in severe disabilities, received the 2010 College of Education Service Award and the 2012 ASUU Student Choice Award for Excellence in Teaching. They have two children, Aly and Christopher; two granddaughters, Addie and Lily, and a grandson, Jack.
