The former Cougar offensive lineman, NFL 3rd round pick and WSU hall of famer is on the ballot for next year's College Football Hall of Fame class.
Former WSU guard Mike Utley is up for election in the College Football Hall of Fame. If he's inducted, he'll join 6 other Cougars in the hall including Rueben Mayes, "Babe" Hollingbery and William "Lone Star" Dietz.
Mike Utley came to Pullman as part of Jim Walden's 1985 recruiting class. He achieved a lot of success at WSU including leading the team to an Aloha Bowl victory in 1988, the team's first bowl win since the 1916 Rose Bowl.
