SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Devontae Booker's football career could have easily ended years ago - on more than one occasion.
Now he's the centerpiece of the Utah offense and a year away from a possible selection in the NFL draft.
The Utes running back was eight yards shy of setting the school's single-season rushing record in his first year with the program. That after sitting out all of 2013 due to an academic issue following two years at American River College.
The 2013 season was the second time academics forced him to miss an entire season.
