SALT LAKE CITY — Five former Utes will take part of Super Bowl 50: Broncos center Sam Brenner played at Utah, and former Ute Luther Elliss has become Denver's team chaplain.
On the other side of the football, the Panthers boast former Utah offensive lineman Jordan Gross — in the radio booth, and former linebacker Brian Blechen is on the Carolina practice squad.
But the biggest name by far is Panthers starting defensive lineman Star Lotulelei, who dreamt of this moment his whole life.
Utah defensive lineman Lowell Lotulelei will also be at Super Bowl 50, but as a spectator as he watches his older brother.
