John Penisini, Utah, Player News
|
Considering he played alongside two All-Americans in Bradlee Anae and Leki Fotu, John Penisini could easily have been known as just the other senior on Utah's highly touted defensive line. Penisini, though, proved to be much more than that. The two-time All-Pac-12 honoree was a definite force to reckon with up front for the Utes. Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley noted that Penisini has a great will to win. Such an attitude helped the 6-foot-2, 333-pound tackle earn an invite to both the East-West Sh rine Bowl and the NFL Scouting Combine. "I would say the reason that scouts are interested in John is this is a guy that never takes a play off, that loves the game of football and it shows in every single rep," Scalley said. "He is a guy that doesn't ha ve the length that's going to wow you or the size, he just has that motor and that will to win. He's a guy that loves the game and he's a fairly efficient pass rusher." In 2019, Penisini recorded 38 tackles - seven behind the line of scrimmage, including two sacks. He was named Pac-12 Defensive Lineman of Week after making a career-high seven tackles and a forced fumble in Utah's 33-28 win at Washington on Nov. 2. "I would say the reason that scouts are interested in John is this is a guy that never tak es a play off, that loves the game of football and it shows in every single rep." - Utah defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley" - Deseret News
