On Thursday, the Utah football program announced its six team captains for the upcoming 2017 campaign. And for the second-straight season, quarterback Troy Williams is one of Utah’s team captains. Williams is joined by offensive lineman Salesi Uhatafe, defensive tackles Lowell Lotulelei and Filipo Mokofisi as well as punter Mitch Wishnowsky and special teams ace Christian Drews.
“It’s good to have that type of role,” Williams said. “It’s more of an ownership thing. It’s not really like an award, I would say. I was talking to Coach [Troy] Taylor about that. It’s more of something that you put the team first and then you look out for everybody.
