  03/15/20 - Jaylon Johnson, Jr/2020, Utah, 6-0, 193 (DS#6 CB) + More +

  When news broke on Feb. 24 that Jaylon Johnson played most of last season with a torn right labrum, it was nothing short of a revelation. As a junior cornerback last fall at the University of Utah, the Fresno, Calif., native was named an All-American after ranking third in the Pac-12 with 11 pass breakups. His two interceptions in 13 starts included a 39-yard pick-six at Washington that helped shift momentum in that win in Seattle, while standing as arguably the Utes' biggest play of the season. The injury reportedly happened at some point in September, making the strong season Johnson had even more remarkable. Now consider that Johnson says the injury occurred even earlier than that.

"It happened sometime in 2018, not sure which game or practice, I really didn't know what was wrong," Johnson told The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday morning via phone, eight days removed from surgery to repair the torn right labrum. "Going into fall camp, there was a tackling drill and the shoulder just went numb, it was really loose. Talking to the trainer, we knew something was wrong, but I fought through it. I wasn't too concerned with an MRI or an X-ray. "I wanted to do whatever I could and tough it out. I wasn't going to mess up what I had planned, I had a lot on the line." - Salt Lake Tribune

  03/14/20 - Francis Bernard, rSr/2020, Utah, 6-0, 234 (DS#8 ILB) + More +

  Before the NFL stepped in on pro days and made up everyone's mind for them, those represented more of a gray area. The showcase for Utah's NFL-bound prospects did not fall within any Pac-12 mandate for cancelation, and it did not include current Utah student-athletes. Still, with the American sports scene barren, cancelation was the only reasonable course of action. "It makes sense because you'd have 32 teams flying in and you don't want all those people to get together in one place," former All-Pac-12 Utah linebacker Francis Bernard told The Salt Lake Tribune Thursday morning from his training base in San Diego, in between the Pac-12 and Utah announcements. "My agent and I have been discussing maybe doing a private workout. It would be easy to get a Chargers scout in there, take the information or the results and spread it to other teams."

Bernard's point about a private workout at some point in the six weeks before the NFL Draft is valid, but someone in his position could have benefit from working out in front of a wider audience. One of a program-record nine Utes invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, Bernard tweaked his hamstring before the 40-yard dash. He tried to push through it, but wound up running a 4.81 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. That mark stood as the sixth-slowest among the 30 linebackers who ran the 40 at the Combine. "I'm not a 4.8 guy," Bernard said. "I hurt my hamstring during the jumps before the 40, but I was in the moment and felt like running. I thought I could ride the adrenaline, but I unfortunately didn't. I'm looking forward to really showing what I can do." - Salt Lake Tribune

  Receiver Theo Howard has transferred from UCLA to Oklahoma. Oklahoma announced Monday that Howard has signed a financial aid agreement and is attending classes. He will participate in spring practice and will have one season of eligibility with the Sooners. He will have a chance to help fill the void left by CeeDee Lamb, a Biletnikoff Award finalist who declared for the NFL draft after his junior year. Howard graduated in December with a degree in political science. He played in 34 career games at UCLA and compiled 119 catches for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns. He battled injuries in 2019 and played in just one game, a start against Oklahoma. In his best season, he started all 12 games in 2018 and registered 51 catches for 677 yards and four scores to earn honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors from the league's coaches. - AP College Football

  12/13/19 - Jaylon Johnson, Jr/2020, Utah, 6-0, 193 (DS#6 CB) + More +

  University of Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson has long said it was his plan to declare for the NFL draft after his junior season, and on Friday evening, he announced his declaration via Twitter. "These past three years have been some of the best of my life," Johnson wrote in a post on a graphic that has multiple photos of him in game action. "This place I call home gave me more than I could have ever imagined, and I am eternally grateful." Johnson also thanked people at the university, expressed gratitude for his teammates, whom he called his “brothers” and said that his family is his "why."

A native of Fresno, Calif., the 6-foot, 195-pound Johnson joined the Utes as a highly touted prospect who was seriously considering the likes of USC and Oklahoma during the recruiting process. He made his presence known immediately, as he tied for the team lead in pass breakups his freshman season in 2017. He received All-Pac-12 first team honors his sophomore campaign in 2018 after snagging four interceptions, and then had 10 pass breakups during the 2019 regular season even as opposing offenses tried to avoid throwing his direction. - Deseret News
