AT UTAH: Mike was a starter last season at offensive tackle as a
sophomore. He has the size that enables him to open holes against the
biggest of tackles but the quickness to keep out the opposition on a pass.
Mike owes his quick success to excellent football fundamentals and
techniques. He should develop into one of the finest offensive tackles
to play at Utah if he keeps going this way.

AT UTAH: Ron is one of the finest J.C. transfers to come to Utah in
years. He had an excellent spring practice and looks to be starting in the
defensive backfield. He has good speed and uncanny anticipation of
where the pass is going to go. Ron has proved he is not afraid to hit
and jarred a few receivers this spring. Coaches are looking for Small to
be a leader in the defensive backfield.

Defensive back YAFB, California, Junior, Ht: 6-1 , Wt: 176, Born:

This fall he should be a starter in the secondary and coaches are
counting on him to do the job. He has outstanding speed, 4.5 in the 40

comes up like a freight train on running plays but has the speed to coyer
the deep patterns. He has all the physical tools but now needs varsity
