On Tuesday, it was announced that three Utes were named to pre-season watch lists. Jared Norris added another list to his resume, with the Butkus Award, along with Jason Whittingham - the award for the nation's best linebacker. The 3rd Utah linebacker (and probably the best one), Gionni Paul took notice of the watch list nominations:
no watch list for me. Just watch out for 13. Better player, smarter player, healthy foot, faster player, stronger player, chip on shoulder

Hunter Dimick, after a great 2014, has found himself on a watch list of his own, by being named to the Lombardi Award watch list, the award for the nation's top lineman.
