That is interesting. Maybe I’m wrong, but Marlaska is the first Ute player without any real protagonism that I’ve seen leave for a better football program. Everyone else has kind of taken a step down.
Yes, on scholarship with us. We flipped him from TTech in his recruitment. Missed the PWO, that’s an important point. That’s what you call a hometown discount.
Malaska is near the athletic freak category but came to Utah with little experience – I want to say just a few years of football. I believe a family in Oklahoma adopted him. There’s a cool story about him and them out there. I was rooting for him to work his way into the two-deep next season. I hope he finds success at Oklahoma.
