Utah’s Kiel McDonald on rebuilding a depleted RB room: ‘If you’re afraid of competition, this isn’t the place for you’
New York TimesSALT LAKE CITY — Kiel McDonald has asserted himself. Before the end of last year’s compressed fall season, Utah saw two other scholarship running backs in Devin Brumfield and Jordan Wilmore enter the NCAA transfer portal. “Our track record and past history with running backs have been very good here as far as production and I think it’s an attractive place for running backs to come.” Curry was part of LSU’s 2019 national championship team headlined by 2020 NFL Draft No. Somewhat buried on LSU’s running back depth chart, Curry had an impressive outing against Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl during the College Football Playoff semifinal. I feel like we could bring a lot of that to the University of Utah.” The running back battle will continue to play out over spring, but as McDonald said when he recruited the new backs, the competition is always open because there will always be talent to compete for touches and reps. “The best player will play,” McDonald said.
