#61 Michael Williams, Junior Punter, 6-1, 196
Michael Williams is a punter and holder for place-kicking who had transfrerred to Utah after a year on the bench at Arizona State. Saw action as a holder in 2021 and shared punting duties with the Aussie Cam Peasley in the last 6 games. Cam entered the transfer portal on May 1, so, unless there is a new walk-on, it looks like Michael Williams will be the Ute punter for the 2022 season. Michael was rated a 5-star kicker in High School by Chris Sailer Kicking (popular kicking camp/training program); also #1 Punter in Arizona at the time. Not sure why he’s not considered a red-shirt soph, maybe someone can explain.
