#13 Chase Kennedy and Nate Johnson
Kennedy and Johnson, a famous combo from the 1960s…
Chase Kennedy, Freshman DE, 6-3 223
Kennedy comes to the Utes from Dallas, not from Daley Plaza, but from Episcopal HS where he played RB and DE. He’s a big play guy on defense who logged 18 tackles for loss, 6 forced fumbles and 2 defensive TDs in his senior season, 2021. That earned him Southwest Preparatory All-Conference and helped the Eagles go 10-1 and to the SPC 4A championship while holding opponents to 20.5 pts per game. He also played basketball for the Eagles. At Utah he’ll have to work hard to get playing time, but sounds like an exciting player for the future.
