Gary Andersen left the Utah football program in December to become Utah State’s head coach, taking Justin Ena with him. The Utes found two replacements, with dramatically different job descriptions in 2019.
Sione Po’uha coaches the defensive tackles, with returning starters Leki Fotu and John Penisini and a lot of dependable reserves, led by Hauati Pututau and Viane Moala.
Colton Swan coaches the linebackers, the position group that formerly showcased Cody Barton and Chase Hansen and then lost projected starter Manny Bowen, who gave up football just before the start of preseason camp.
