Utah’s offensive line depth means plenty of competition for starting spots

By Jeff Call, Deseret News: As Utah offensive line coach Jim Harding builds his O-line going into the 2021 season, he is grateful for the role that the Utes’ defensive line plays in developing his players.

“The biggest thing that’s shown through spring ball is competition. We’re going against an extremely good defensive line. That’s always going to make us have to perform each and every day,” Harding said. “Because we have so many guys coming back, there’s never been an opportunity this spring for a kid to take a practice off mentally or physically. That development is speeding up because each and every day, these kids know they’re playing against a really good defensive line. But there are guys good enough in this room to push for starting spots.”
