Utah football: Junior quarterback Brandon Cox decides to transfer

Related Topics: Brandon Cox, Quarterback

Utah football is down to two scholarship quarterbacks after junior Brandon Cox has decided to transfer from the program.

With junior Troy Williams in line to start this season and freshman Tyler Huntley homing in on the back-up job, Cox was slated to be the third quarterback on the depth chart — meaning a limited role and limited reps. After starting fall camp as one of three candidates to start, Cox decided he could get on the field elsewhere, coach Kyle Whittingham said.

"We really appreciate everything he did for us here," he said.
