RICE- ECCLES STADIUM
With its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake, Rice-Eccles Stadium is recognized as one of the most beautiful college stadiums in the country. While the exterior scenery is captivating, the charged atmosphere inside Rice-Eccles Stadium makes it one of the 25 “toughest stadiums in the country” for opposing teams according to Bleacher Report. Entering the 2018 season, Utah has played to 51-straight sellouts (48 which exceeded the seating capacity) in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. In its first 20 years, there have been 69 total standing-room-only crowds. The venue’s seating capacity was increased from 45,017 to 45,807 in 2014, and as a result, the top four season attendance averages and 12 of the top 15 single-game crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded in the last four years. The Utes averaged a school-record 46,533 fans per game in 2015, when they also recorded their best single-game attendance mark (47,825 vs. Michigan). Dating back to its 13-0 Sugar Bowl campaign of 2008, Utah’s average attendance has exceeded the stadium’s capacity for 10 consecutive years. Opened in 1998 on the grounds of the old Ute (1927-71) and Rice (1972-97) stadiums, Rice-Eccles Stadium has seen several upgrades in ensuing years. The latest is a state-of-the-art 122 x 64-foot video scoreboard that rises 137 feet above ground and was completed in the summer of 2016. One of the largest college football video boards in the country, it features a high definition display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The enhanced software to run the board delivers some 8

of the best special effects in the sports industry and synchronizes with the LED boards in the north end zone. Another improvement in 2016 was a distributed sound system that enhances the sound quality in every section of Rice-Eccles Stadium while also reducing noise to the surrounding community. Rice-Eccles Stadium has also hosted a number of other major sporting events, the most prominent being the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. The initial groundwork for Rice-Eccles Stadium began in 1996, when former Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fundraising 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 AllAmerica skier Spence Eccles. The total construction costs ran $50 million, of 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 the summer of 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 RiceEccles 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. 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 contains the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor, and booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former longtime “Voice of the Utes”). The press, TV and radio sections open into the Varsity Reception area, which seats 400 for dining. The 2016 stadium upgrades were not the first time the scoreboards have been replaced since RiceEccles opened its gates. In 2003, the late Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for the venue’s first video scoreboard. In 2007, an LED board stretching across the top of the north end zone stands and two LED scoreboards were added to the north corners in 2014. In 2012, an LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands. The stadium floor has also changed with the times. A FieldTurf surface with CoolPlay cork infill was installed in September 2015, marking the third version of FieldTurf laid down in Rice-Eccles since 2002. Previous surfaces (dating back to Ute Field) were 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 Utah Athletics main ticket office is located on the southwest corner of the plaza.

UTE TRADITIONS
The 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 an Indian tribe that originally settled Utah. Two of the more common definitions of Ute are “top of the mountains” and “people of the mountains.” Other references have Ute defined as “land of the sun.” The Utes refer to themselves as “Noochew,” meaning “the People.” There are four Ute tribes: The Northern and White Mesa Tribes are based in Utah, while the Southern and Ute Mountain Tribes are in Colorado. The Northern Utes are most closely affiliated with the University of Utah and have a tribal membership of around 3,000. Many of them live on the Uintah and Ouray reservation. The Utes operate their own tribal government, oversee approximately 1.3 million acres of trust land and operate several businesses. “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 instate foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 45-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 16 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ‘11, ‘13, ‘15, ‘16 and ‘17), BYU 22 times and Utah State 10 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 are illuminated primarily for athletic events and to 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-square 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 17 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 the Utah Fight Song. After every game, Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of the Utah Fight Song. Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2001 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 | 14TH YEAR One of the top football coaches in the country, Kyle Whittingham is in his 14th season as Utah’s head coach. Whittingham, who is the longest tenured Pac-12 coach at the same school, has contributed to more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. Utah has won 196 games in his 24 years on the staff, including a 111-56 record as the head coach from 2005-17. Legendary for his postseason success, Whittingham’s 92-percent win ratio in bowl games (111) is the best in NCAA history. His 11 bowl wins is tied for second among active coaches—one behind Alabama’s Nick Saban—and including ties he is ranked in the top 10 in all-time bowl victories. The Utes appeared every week in the College Football Playoff ranking in its first three years from 201416, as well as the first three weeks of the 2017 season. Utah finished No. 22 in the CFP rankings in both 2014 and 2015, and No. 19 in 2016. Utah has finished in the AP top 25 in three of the past four seasons and five times total under Whittingham. Utah’s No. 2 final AP ranking in 2008 was the best in school history. His other AP top-25 finishes were No. 18 (2009), No. 21 (2014), No. 17 (2015) and No. 23 (2016). Utah was also ranked in the Coaches’ poll all of those seasons, as well as in 2010 (No. 23). Whittingham’s teams have performed well against other AP top-25 teams, recording 13 wins over ranked teams, including victories over No. 4 Alabama (2009), No. 5 Stanford (2013) and No. 8 UCLA (2014). His resume features a winning record against four of the five Power Five conferences: 4-0 vs. the Big Ten, 7-1 against the ACC, 5-3 over the Big 12 and 1-0 vs. the SEC. The Utes have also fared well in seven years in the Pac-12, registering wins against every member school and boasting a .500 or better record against five. 14
2018 UTAH FOOTBALL
Whittingham came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and became the defensive coordinator a year later; a position he held until November of 2004. On December 8, 2004, he was announced as the school’s 20th head coach. Whittingham’s first victory came three weeks later when he co-coached (with Urban Meyer) Utah’s 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh. His first regular-season victory was against Arizona in the 2005 season opener. In 2008, Whittingham engineered the best season in Utah football history. The Utes finished 13-0 and capped the season with a Sugar Bowl rout of Alabama—a team that had spent five weeks at No. 1. 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. As the country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008, Utah beat four top-25 teams, including two that finished in the top 10. In addition to his national awards, Whittingham was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. His success has continued in the Pac-12 Conference where Utah has claimed one South Division cochampionship (2015) and has finished in the top three in the South three times (2011, 2015, 2016). The Utes have won all five of their bowl games since joining the Pac-12 and Whittingham was a three-time semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award from 2014-16. Individually, 15 of Whittingham’s players have made one or more of the All-America teams that comprise the NCAA’s consensus team. First-team All-Americans under Whittingham are 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), Nate Orchard (2014, defensive end), Kaelin Clay (2014, returner), Tom Hackett (2014, consensus punter; 2015, unanimous consensus punter), Mitch Wishnowsky (2016, unanimous consensus punter) and Matt Gay (2017, consensus place kicker). Second-team AllAmericans on major teams include Morgan Scalley (2004, defensive back), Caleb Schlauderaff (2010, offensive line), Hunter Dimick (2016, defensive end) and Wishnowsky (2017, punter). In addition to his head coaching responsibilities, Whittingham oversees Utah’s punters and kickers. He has had a specialist win a national award as the best at his position at the ESPN Home Depot Awards show for the past four years: Ray Guy Award winners Hackett (2014 and 2015) and Wishnowsky (2016), and Lou Groza

Award winner Gay (2017). Prior to Whittingham, Utah had never had a football player win a major national football award. In addition, Gay received the Vlade Award as the country’s most accurate kicker in 2017. Another award winner under Whittingham was Orchard, who received the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end in 2014. Whittingham’s players have won a total of 72 firstteam all-conference awards, including 21 in Utah’s seven seasons of Pac-12 play. Among them were three-time first-team honoree Hackett (2013-15) and two-time recipients Lotulelei (2011-12) and Wishnowsky (201617). Utes have also captured the Morris Award three times (DT Lotulelei in 2011, DL Orchard in 2014 and OL Isaac Asiata in 2016). The Morris Award recognizes the Pac-12’s best lineman as voted on by the starting linemen on all 12 teams. Prior to joining the Pac-12, Whittingham coached a Mountain West Conference MVP in five-straight seasons: Defensive Players of the Year Scalley (2004) and
Weddle (2005 and 2006), Special Teams Player of the Year Sakoda (2006, 2007, 2008), and Offensive Player of the Year Brian Johnson (2008). One reason behind his success is Whittingham’s reputation for developing NFL talent. A school-record eight NFL draft picks from Utah in 2017 led the Pac12 and tied for third in the country. In 2010, six Utes were drafted, which tied for fourth nationally. As an assistant or head coach, 78 of Whittingham’s players have signed contracts with NFL teams (45 draft picks, including 12 first or second-round selections, and 33 undrafted free agents). Utah has also excelled academically under Whittingham. Since he became head coach in 2005, his players have earned four Academic All-America citations and 235 academic all-conference awards. The American Football Coaches Association gave Utah a 2017 Academic Achievement Award for recording a perfect 100-percent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR). Whittingham began his coaching career in 198586 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Brigham Young. He spent one season as the defensive coordinator at the College of Eastern Utah in 1987, before a six-year stint at Idaho State from 1988-93. A linebacker for BYU from 1978-81, Whittingham earned first-team all-WAC and WAC Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1981. He played in the first four Holiday Bowls and was named Defensive MVP of the 1981 game. In 2008, he was inducted into the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. After his senior season, Whittingham played in the Hula and Japan Bowls. He played professionally with the Denver Broncos (1982 training camp) and the U.S. Football League’s (USFL) Denver Gold

Marquise Blair scored a touchdown on an 18-yard fumble recovery against USC last season.
BEWARE OF BLAIR Saftey Marquise Blair served notice to the Pac-12 during an injuryshortened 2017 season that he is a force to be reckoned with. By Riley Elliott Utah Athletics Communications
After leaving his hometown of Wooster, Ohio, and making his way through the junior college ranks before finally landing at the University of Utah, Marquise Blair has come too far and worked too hard to not have a great ending to his college football career. 24
2018 UTAH FOOTBALL
As a senior in high school, Blair was named first-team All-Northeast Inland District, first-team Division II all-state, and the Ohio Cardinal Conference Player of the Year. A terrific all-around athlete who was the 10th-best long jumper in the state of Ohio as a senior, Blair regularly played on both sides of the
ball. As a junior, he recorded a team-high 75 tackles on defense while racking up 35 receptions for 724 yards and 11 touchdowns on offense. “High school ball was a great time,” Blair recalled. “The best memories that I have come from my senior year. We had a record of 8-3, won our conference, and went to the playoffs for the first time in 10 years.” Coming out of high school, Blair elected to go the JUCO route and attended Dodge City Community College in Kansas. He settled in on defense and became a dominant player. During his sophomore season in 2016, Blair was named first-team NJCAA All American and first-team All-Region VI. He tied for 19th in the NJCAA with 100 tackles and tied for third with 24 tackles for loss. He also had three sacks, four interceptions, five pass breakups, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and a fumble return for a touchdown. With the amount of talent that he showed at Dodge City, Blair was heavily recruited by the Utes to play safety. Even though Blair had offers to other schools, he decided that the University of Utah would best fit his style of play. “I really liked the coaches. I needed somewhere to play with the two years that I had left and Utah was the best fit. Utah stood out to me because of their defensive scheme, and I knew that I would fit well in their defense and it was the best option for me,” said Blair. Spending time at the junior college level helped Blair develop into the player that he is today, and it was a major steppingstone on his path to the University of Utah. “You do a lot of stuff on you own at a community college. You have to do everything by yourself. It’s just like high school in some ways because you do all of your academics by yourself and you don’t get a lot of help,” explained Blair. “Playing there, it helped me learn and grow as a player. It helped me gain a lot of experience in games, and I played both years there, which really helped me grow.” Playing in nine games with six starts for the Utes last season, Blair quickly became a bright spot for the Utah defense. Demonstrating the overall athleticism he had shown since high school, Blair was plugged in at various places on the defense, starting two games at strong safety, two at free safety and one at outside linebacker. He was tied for third on the team with 48 tackles before suffering a season-ending injury against UCLA. “When the injury happened, I wanted to have surgery that day and get it over with so that I could be back on the field sooner,” said Blair. “It’s been a process (continued on page 26)
UTE SENIOR PROFILE
THE GRIND TO GREATNESS Offensive lineman Jordan Agasiva had to put in extra work at the junior college level to get to Utah. Now he is dedicated to giving even more effort to reach the top of his game. By Mady White Utah Athletics Communications Playing Division I football was something Utah senior offensive lineman Jordan Agasiva knew he wanted to pursue during his early years of high school. However, he did not anticipate the grind that it would take to get there. Agasiva grew up in Kalihi, Hawaii, where he attended Farrington High School his freshman and sophomore years before finishing at Mililani High School. Agasiva earned first-team all-state honors twice while at Mililani, which would grab the attention of the University of Hawaii’s coaching staff. “I only had one offer coming out of high school, which was University of Hawaii,” Agasiva said. “During high school, I didn’t have the best grades and that really made an impact on my football career. I was signed to the University of Hawaii originally. But when I didn’t make grades, I had to change the route I thought I was going to follow and instead I went the junior college path.” Agasiva headed to Pima Community College in Arizona, where he looked to rebuild his academic resume, improve his skills and get himself to the point where he could live out his goal of playing Division I football. Already possessing the body and skillset necessary to make it to the next level, Agasiva put his schoolwork at forefront while in junior college. “I was constantly working on my academics and had a ton of support to do well,” Agasiva said. “My family was always there for me and had faith I could do it. In junior college, it was a grind out there. “I just had to keep the right mentality every day because I didn’t want to just end my football career at the junior college level,” he continued. “I had seen a lot of guys that had a lot of talent, but they just go back home after junior college and don’t go on to play at the next level.”
Senior Jordan Agasiva is one of four returning starters on the offensive line. Hard work both in the classroom and on the field inched Agasiva closer to where he always wanted to be. He earned first-team all-region honors following his sophomore year at Pima and left with a pair of first-team All-Arizona Community College Athletic Conference honors. With play on the football field holding steady and his academics turned around, Agasiva was ready to enter the scope of recruitment from Division I schools, and drew the interest of several big name programs, including Auburn, Alabama and TCU. “I had known Coach Lew (Lewis Powell) because he was the recruiter for UH at the time when I was in high school. We were already tight so that kind of flipped the switch for me. When I visited here, I
thought it was great. I visited a couple of other schools, like Auburn, and it was super nice down in the SEC,” Agasiva said. “But Utah was just like a family. The bond here is strong and you can see it as soon as you come in. I just didn’t feel that in the other places like I did here.” Ready to come in and make an impact immediately, Agasiva earned the starting job at right guard last season. He started all 10 games when he was healthy, missing three due to an injury. Now primed and ready for his senior season, Agasiva is projected to start at right guard once again. He is happy to be back alongside his brothers on the front line. (continued on page 26) 2018 UTAH FOOTBALL

UTE SENIOR PROFILE Jordan Agasiva (continued from page 25) “I am going to bring whatever our team needs me to bring this year to have something special,” Agasiva stated. “Football is such a team sport and we all have each other’s backs, and as the O-line we have to stick together even more. I think all of us on the line help each other and push each other every day. It is definitely a grind and I have been through a lot to get here. But I am ready to go out this season and be great.” The strong bond that has been built among the guys on the offensive line definitely translates into the way they play alongside each other. It is a unit that underwent a major overhaul before last year with the loss of four NFL draft picks. The opposite is the case this year with four starters returning. However, Agasiva knows there is always room for improvement, and if one person is improving it makes everyone want to get better as it becomes a chain reaction. “Personally, I want to do more film work and on-the-board work this season,” Agasiva said. “Those two things will really help prepare me better, and can help the entire line. Learning the plays better will also help us, but I mostly just want to always be putting in the extra work after practice and when we have days off.” Putting in the extra work has helped the 6-foot-3, 320-pound senior to achieve great success thus far in his football career, but he is not satisfied. With hopes of playing in the NFL, Agasiva will continue to put in the time and effort as he has his whole life. Going through the ups and downs to get where he is today, the grind to get here has prepared him for anything life may throw his way.
Jordan Agasiva started 10 games at right guard last season after transferring from Pima Community College. Marquise Blair (continued from page 24)

getting back. I wouldn’t say it’s been hard, but you just have to understand that you have to go day-by-day. Even though I wanted to get back as soon as possible, you have to understand to not rush it and make sure you’re doing all of your rehab.” After missing spring ball, Blair was back at full-strength for fall camp and is very eager for the start of the season. Blair is projected to start at strong safety but has shown he is capable of playing both safety positions. “I’m most excited to just be playing, in practice and in games. I’m just happy to be back out here,” Blair expressed. “Practice this summer has been good. I’ve just been getting back into shape and getting back to where I was before the injury.” With this being Blair’s senior season, he has very high expectations for himself and this year’s team. For one, he is hoping to have an injury-free season. Secondly, he also wants to make sure that this team achieves nothing short of greatness. “My expectations for myself are to stay healthy, lead the team in tackles, and set an example for my teammates both on and off the field,” Blair said. “As for the team, my expectations are for us to win a national championship, nothing short of that. We have a squad that can dominate on both offense and defense. I have a lot of faith in the things that we can accomplish this season.” Once his final season with the Utes concludes, Blair has set his sights on playing in the NFL or pursuing a career with his degree in human development and family studies. “I definitely want to take a shot at the NFL after my time at the University of Utah is over; it’s always been a dream of mine. It is something that I think about every day, all summer long. I’ve been working hard to reach my goal of being an NFL player.” After establishing himself as one of the best safeties in the conference before suffering his injury last year, Blair certainly will be a player to watch on this year’s Ute defense. With the athleticism and intensity that he brings to the field at his position, Pac-12 offenses will have to beware of Blair this season.

UTAH COMPLIANCE PLAYBOOK
Join the Utes and play by the rules!
Martin Bergström of the men’s skiing team was the recipient of Utah’s 2018 Dr. Burtis Evans Scholarship Award. We hope you are excited to cheer on our University of Utah student-athletes during another year of competition in the Pac-12 Conference! In doing so, it is important to remember that NCAA rules apply to everyone, including student-athletes, coaches, staff, and YOU – boosters and supporters of Utah Athletics! Following NCAA rules is everyone’s responsibility. Included below are a few rules from the playbook of which you should be aware. Who is a booster or representative of athletics interests? You are a booster if you contribute to the Athletics Department, participate in booster organizations (like the Crimson Club), hold season

tickets, have a guardianship role over a studentathlete, provided allowable benefits to studentathletes, participated as a varsity student-athlete at the University of Utah, or promote Utah Athletics in any way. Once an individual has been identified as a booster, that individual maintains that status as a booster for life. How can boosters help? You can support Utah Athletics in many different ways: contributing money to endowments or scholarship funds, buying season tickets, donating frequent flyer miles, and/or employing studentathletes at a commensurate pay rate for jobs they perform. Please contact the Crimson Club for more information on ways you can support Utah Athletics. Additionally, it may be possible for a booster to provide an “occasional meal” at their home for a student-athlete or team. Please contact the Athletics Compliance Office for more information regarding hosting an occasional meal; these meals require pre-approval and paperwork to be submitted to the Athletics Compliance Office prior to hosting. What are the NCAA rules regarding boosters? Boosters commonly want to help individual student-athletes or their families, but NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes and their families from receiving extra benefits that are not permitted by NCAA rules or are not available to all University of Utah students. Never provide student-athletes (or their families) with money, gifts, free meals, discounted services, or any other extra benefits without first asking the Athletics Compliance Office! Providing studentathletes with impermissible benefits could jeopardize their athletic eligibility. The NCAA also limits contact with prospective student-athletes (“prospects”) by Utah coaches and

staff members. The NCAA defines a prospect as any individual who has started classes for the ninth grade. As a booster, you should not contact a prospect or his/her family for any athletically-related reason. You may attend a prospect’s game on your own initiative, as long as you do not talk to the prospect or his/her family. If you ever find yourself in a conversation with a prospect or prospect’s family and Utah Athletics becomes a topic, please politely explain that NCAA rules prohibit you from discussing Utah Athletics and direct their questions to the appropriate Utah coach. Thank you for your support! Thank you for supporting Utah Athletics. The University of Utah seeks to attain the highest standard of ethical conduct, and we appreciate your help in achieving our goals. If you ever have any questions regarding NCAA rules, please contact the Utah Athletics Compliance Office.

UTAH SOCCER PREVIEW pockets of space and create chances,” Manning said. At the center forward position, Makalya Christensen provides cover for Skolmoski. Christensen scored 90 goals at Centennial High School in Idaho, including 44 as a senior and was a National High School All-American and finalist for Gatorade Player of the Year. Winger Max Flom enters her senior season having played in every game of her career. Ireland Dunn, the 2015 Deseret News 5A Most Valuable Player, will join her on the opposite side. Dunn has missed just one game during her first two seasons but is still searching for her first goal. The Utes hope a move to the wing will help create more scoring chances for the two. “Max keeps the ball for us and has a good vision. Her ability to cross the ball is one of her best attributes. Ireland may be the best dribbler on the team. She advances the play well and has the confidence she needs this season to produce,” Manning explained. A trio of newcomers will be fighting for spots up front and it starts with two-sport star Brooklyn James. One of the top players in Oregon and team captain in the Portland Thorns academy will also be running track for the Utes. Emali Mackinnon was an invitee to the U18-19 U.S. Soccer Development Academy and Ali Schinko was one of the youngest players on her TSG 1899 Hoffenheim team as it captured consecutive 2nd Bundesliga Sud titles in Germany.
LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK With a veteran team returning, the Utes are hoping to return to their winning ways of 2016, when they advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.

der Veen, Hailey Skolmoski and Tavia Leachman make up the spine of a squad that will be a difficult foe for anyone in the Pac-12.
A year removed from the best season in Utah history, head coach Rich Manning is in his 17th year with the program and can see bright days ahead. After stumbling in 2017, due in large part to injuries, the Utes will be looking to recapture the magic of 2016. It was a campaign in which Utah advanced further than any previous squad and finished with a No. 16 national ranking, its highest mark to end a year since 2006. Many key pieces are still on the roster and once again fully fit. All-conference performers Paola van
FORWARDS Hermann Award candidate Hailey Skolmoski led the team in goals the last two seasons and is the first player in program history to earn First Team AllPac-12 honors. With 21 tallies and 46 points, she is the catalyst for the Utah offense. Skolmoski spent her summer playing with Real Salt Lake Women along with fellow Ute starters Haylee Cacciacarne, Aleea Gwerder and Holly Daugirda. “Hailey had a good summer with Real Salt Lake Women and improved her first touch. She is able to find
ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS Paola van der Veen, an All-NSCAA and AllPac-12 selection last season, finished among the top five players in the conference for goals and points. The Netherlands native is ready to impress again during her senior year. “Po is the fittest I have seen her,” Manning raved. “Her confidence and maturity give us a lot. She is dangerous on set pieces and we depend on her to score goals. She is prime for a big year.” A pair of redshirt sophomores and freshmen will also vie for playing time. Kristin Fairbairn and Natalie Kump both missed their freshman campaigns due to injury but acclimated nicely to Pac-12 soccer last year. Newcomers Anna Escobedo (Deseret News All-State selection at Olympus HS) and Payton Stiles (Seattle Sounders youth team member) have also joined the fray. DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS Haylee Cacciacarne evolved into a central midfielder last season, playing every game and leading the Utes in assists. The Deseret News’ Ms. Soccer 2015 will need to maintain a level of sturdy, consistent play to keep Utah ticking along.

UTAH SOCCER PREVIEW “Haylee has really matured and this being her third year, she has a much better feel of what we expect from her. She is good in the air and her tackling and passing has definitely improved,” Manning said. Demi Lopez, the 3A MVP in the state of Utah during 2016, missed all of last season with an injury. A First Team All-State performer at Logan High School, Lopez amassed 35 goals and 23 assists during her career. “Demi has recovered nicely from her injury and has a lot of skill and vision. Jess is a tall player with soft feet. She is a physical presence that is difficult to defend in the air.” Jessica Hixson came on late in the season and scored her first collegiate goal in a game versus Oregon State. The all-state performer at Grandview High School in Colorado has emerged as a viable option in the midfield. Midfielder Paola van der Veen was an All-NSCAA and All-Pac-12 selection “Jess is a tall player with last season. soft feet,” Manning evaluated. threat on free-kick situations for us,” Manning said. “Her physical presence helps us Gwerder, who started every game at outside defensively and makes her difficult to stop in the air.” back as a freshman, has moved to a central position Some of the other options at Manning’s disposal this season. Despite playing in every contest as a include Hanna Olsen, Kate Hinckley and Zona sophomore, she was not entirely fit and now she finds Kinnaman. Olsen was a Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News Class 5A All-State selection after scoring 12 goals herself in a more natural role. “Aleea played outside back the first two years and dishing out 13 assists at Brighton High School. but is now more comfortable in the center, where After earning All-State honors in Texas, Hinckley she was in high school.

All-Pac-12 “Holly is in a great place after having her back performer Tavia Leachman has fully recovered from issues resolved,” Manning pointed out. “She has been an early upper body injury she suffered last year and training extremely hard and is playing with a lot of Aleea Gwerder’s fitness was on full display during an confidence.

excellent option off the bench. The Utes also have Lulu Borges (17 games as a freshman) and Texas Tech transfer Alexis Rushlow. GOALKEEPERS Carly Nelson returns in goal for a third straight season after playing 16 games for the Utes last year. The Lindon native earned Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week after a 10-save performance in a shutout of No. 10 USC. The former First Team All-State goalkeeper at Timpanogos High School has adapted nicely to her starting spot with the Utes. SJ Edwards redshirted last season after earning Oregon ODP Player of the Year honors prior to her arrival at Utah. She will serve as the backup this season with Jamie Goodwin, a transfer from Sierra College, provides depth. “Carly had a fantastic offseason, improving her mental and physical game. She is more vocal and does a much better job keeping our team organized in the back. SJ is very good in one-on-one situations and reacts well to low shots.”

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG
VERSE
CHORUS (same)
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!
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 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 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!
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!

MARK HARLAN
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS | 1ST YEAR Mark Harlan, a veteran administrator with Pac-12 ties, was named director of athletics at the University of Utah on June 1, 2018. Harlan, who assumes the helm of Utah athletics after four years as the athletics director at the University of South Florida, brings more than 20 years of athletics administration experience at five universities to his new post. Prior to his appointment at USF in 2014, Harlan served as the senior associate athletics director for external relations at UCLA, senior vice president for central development at Arizona, senior associate athletics director at San Jose State and associate athletics director at Northern Colorado. Most recently, the Los Angeles native spearheaded record competitive, academic and fundraising accomplishments at South Florida, while also negotiating new multimedia rights and apparel partnerships. In his tenure at USF, the Bulls won 14 American Athletic Conference titles. Nine USF programs ranked in the top 25 in 2015-16 when the Bulls led the AAC in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings. The football program, which went 2-10 the year before Harlan’s hiring, surged to a 21-4 record in his last two years, including a school-record 11 wins in 2016. The Bulls made three straight bowl appearances from 2015-17–beating bowl opponents from the SEC and Big 12 in 2016 (South Carolina) and 2017 (Texas Tech). They appeared in the final AP poll for the first time in 2016, when they were ranked No. 19 in both the AP and Coaches’ polls. In 2017, Harlan hire Charlie Strong led the Bulls to a 10-2 record and a No. 21 final ranking. Other USF teams also excelled nationally under Harlan’s oversight. In 2015, the men’s golf and tennis teams reached the NCAA quarterfinals and round of 16, 58
2018 UTAH FOOTBALL
respectively—the best NCAA finishes in both programs’ history. Women’s basketball also appeared in the top 25 and played in the NCAA Tournament all four years with Harlan as the AD. Women’s soccer won its first conference title in 2017 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament three times, while the baseball team returned to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 13 years in 2015. They both earned top-25 rankings, as did softball, men’s soccer and sailing. In the classroom, USF student-athletes set school marks for combined grade-point average and Graduation Success Rate (GSR). In the fall of 2017, USF opened the Fishman Family Student-Athlete Enrichment Center, a $750,000 facility dedicated to academic achievement and student-athlete welfare. Under Harlan’s guidance, USF Athletics saw a 300-percent increase in major giving and had the best fundraising year in school history in 2016-17, attracting $15 million. His announcement of plans for a new $40-million on-campus football center was soon followed by an $8 million gift to athletics—the largest in program history. Harlan also negotiated a 10-year multimedia rights partnership with Tampa Bay Entertainment Properties, struck an eight-year partnership with adidas as the official footwear, apparel and accessory brand of the Bulls and oversaw a restructure of the school’s athletic brand. He has been named to several influential committees and is currently serving on the NCAA Division I Council Transfer Working Group and the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee. He chaired the American Athletic Conference Athletic Directors Committee in 2017-18, and as the vice chair in 2016, played a key role in developing the conference’s strategic plan. As a former member of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission Executive Committee, Harlan assisted in bringing major events such as the CFP National Championship, NCAA Women’s Final Four and NHL AllStar game to Tampa Bay. Harlan came to USF after serving as the senior associate athletics director for external relations at
UCLA from 2010-14, where his oversight responsibilities included the men’s basketball program, development, communications, marketing, ticket sales, sponsorships, multimedia rights and alumni affairs. While at UCLA, Harlan reorganized the structure of the major giving program and the annual fund, which resulted in a record number of donors and dollars raised in 2013. He successfully managed completion of a $137 million campaign to renovate iconic Pauley Pavilion in 2012. Harlan was also heavily involved in the negotiations with the City of Pasadena to enable a $200 million renovation of the Rose Bowl Stadium. Harlan left for UCLA after four years as the senior vice president for central development at the University of Arizona Foundation from 2006-10. Under Harlan’s direction, the Foundation posted two record years in funds raised and in the number of gifts processed on behalf of the university. He moved into central development at Arizona after over a decade working in the Wildcat athletic department. He held a variety of roles in athletics, serving as the assistant coordinator for football recruiting and operations (1992-94), program coordinator for event management (1994-97), director of operations (1997-2000), director of annual development (2000-02) and assistant athletics director for development and marketing (2002-04). Harlan’s background also includes one-year stints as senior associate athletics director for external operations at San Jose State (2005-06) and associate athletics director for external operations at Northern Colorado (2004-05). At SJSU, he launched a planned giving program that generated $8 million in estate gifts directed toward student-athlete scholarship endowments. At Northern Colorado, he played a key role in the school’s transition to NCAA Division I and the Big Sky Conference. Harlan, 48, earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in education from Arizona. He and his wife Carolyn have two children: Savannah (13) and Austin (10).
