SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Cory Butler-Byrd was penciled in as a starter nearly from the day he stepped on the Utah campus. Unofficially, of course, considering the coaching staff hasn't finalized the depth chart.

The prized transfer from Los Angeles Harbor College, however, was listed as the starter at the slot position on offense after one week of camp. Days later, he was listed as a starting cornerback.

One thing was clear after two weeks - Butler-Byrd is going to be on the field.
