The Outland Trophy is awarded to the best college football interior lineman every season and Utu is going to be in the running once he gets to Oregon.

The Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman standout is ranked as a five-star offensive tackle right now and he plays right tackle in high school. He could stay outside in college but it also would be no shock at all to see Utu move inside and dominate on the interior as well.

An early Tennessee commitment, Utu flipped his pledge to the Ducks in late September and he gives the Big Ten powerhouse another elite player on the offensive line who reminds us of a little leaner Penei Sewell.

Over the years, Utu has competed at numerous Rivals Camp Series events and he has looked outstanding at each one. Not a big trash talker, Utu goes out, stones defensive linemen and then moves on. It’s what he should do at Oregon and why he’s a five-star prospect.
