12/19/22 - Zemaiah Vaughn, rSr/2025, Utah + More +

Utah cornerback Clark Phillips III opted out of this year's Rose Bowl and declared for the NFL draft, so the Utes will be without their top defensive player in their biggest game of the season. Phillips III will be among the top cornerbacks available in the 2023 NFL draft. This season, he has six interceptions, which ranks second in the country. Two of those interceptions were returned for touchdowns. The 5-foot-10, 183-pound cornerback also had 24 tackles and six pass breakups. He was a unanimous All-American this season, the first-ever for Utah on offense or defense. "Clark Phillips, he's one of a kind... He's a great leader, so being around him just makes you push himself more and go harder in everything you do," cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn said. The most likely candidate to fill in for Phillips III at right cornerback is Vaughn, a sophomore.

Listed behind Phillips III at right cornerback on the Utes' latest depth chart, Vaughn has played in all 13 games this season, and has started six games, including three at right cornerback. "We've all pretty much been rotating, so nothing different, just do it better," Vaughn said. The 6-foot-2, 178-pound Vaughn leads the team in pass breakups with nine this season and has 22 tackles. He's forced a fumble and recovered a fumble this year. "In (Phillip III's) absence, we have faith in the guys that are coming up, JT and Zemaiah, that that will play," Hubert said. In the Pac-12 championship win over USC, Vaughn had four tackles. In last season's Pac-12 championship game win over Oregon, Vaughn was injured and couldn't finish the rest of the game, also missing the 2022 Rose Bowl. - Deseret News
