As far as fall camp position battles go this month at the University of Utah, the situation at defensive end is reasonably straightforward. All-Pac-12 fifth-year junior Mika Tafua is entrenched at one defensive end spot, but the other projected starter, Maxs Tupai, is not with the team this fall, Utes head coach Kyle Whittingham revealed on Wednesday. Without Tupai, enter a pair of freshmen, Van Fillinger and Xavier Carlton, as prime candidates to fill Tupai's spot. Whittingham has mentioned third-year redshirt freshman Miki Suguturaga a couple of times in these early days as a depth chart option, but that is more for the No. 4 spot right now.

That second defensive end is going to be either Fillinger or Carlton, both of whom find themselves with an opportunity to break through into a significant role this fall. "Huge opportunity," Whittingham said. "Couldn't be a bigger opportunity for those guys, and they're both excited about that opportunity. My guess is they'll answer the bell and do just fine. When something happens to somebody, it's somebody else's opportunity and that's how they have to look at it." Tupai's absence is helping to fuel these opportunities for Carlton and Fillinger, whose lockers are next to each other inside the Eccles Football Center, but in hindsight, staying the course during an unorthodox, COVID-impacted 2020 season, was just as important. - Salt Lake Tribune
