Devontae Booker burst onto the scene in 2014 for the Utah Football team. He entered spring ball with a focus to prove he belonged on a Pac-12 roster. The Sacramento, CA, product originally committed to Washington State out of high school, but instead went to American River College. After JC, he committed to Utah in 2013, but failed to qualify. Utah coaches and fans would all agree that they would have loved to have seen him suit up for the Utes a year sooner.
The Utah staff fully expected Booker to be a contributor in 2014, but it would be difficult to supplant 2013 starter Bubba Poole to begin the season.
