On Monday, the Utah football team announced that Carrington is now officially eligible to play for the Utes in 2017 after the Pac-12 Faculty Athletic Represenatatives’ Committee approved the transfer of the former Oregon wide receiver. The committee green-lighted the waiver of the “Intra-Conference Transfer Penalty,” meaning the 22-year-old won’t have to sit out a year.
Instead, Utah now has a former All-Pac-12 wideout to implement in its brand-new spread-offense style attack under new offensive coordinator Troy Taylor. The 6-foot-2 senior from San Diego, Calif., was dismissed from the Oregon program by new Ducks head coach Willie Taggart.
