Utah's needs of personnel discoveries in spring football practice, beginning Monday, are conveniently packaged into selected position groups and align with the players the Utes sent to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. The program lost only three other senior starters, also from the offensive line and secondary, so those are the obvious areas of interest in March and April for the Pac-12 South's defending champions.
Four projected starters will miss spring practice, due to injury: running back Zack Moss, receiver Britain Covey, defensive tackle Pita Tonga and linebacker Francis Bernard. Receiver Samson Nacua is the most prominent player among others who will be sidelined.
