Britain Covey to serve LDS mission in Chile

SALT LAKE CITY — As a freshman, Britain Covey was one of the biggest surprises to the Utah football team. Covey led the team in receiving yards, despite injury, and was an integral part to Utah's 10-win season.

Covey, though, will take a two-year hiatus as he prepares to leave for a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On Wednesday, Covey received his mission call to the Chile Rancagua mission.
