When Jaylen Dixon hauled in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Cam Rising in the first quarter against Oregon State, the Utah sideline turned into a party. 'Seeing him get the publicity and success he’s worked so hard for, it’s a blessing to see it.”
Dixon left the program in 2020 to deal with mental health issues, but returned in 2021 after a meeting with head coach Kyle Whittingham.
. That meant the Utes’ passing attack was bound to look different. More specifically, Kuithe’s targets, touches, and opportunities were newly up for grabs.“I even told him before the game, ‘This is your game, man. This is your opportunity to start making plays,’” Vele said of Dixon after the latter scored twice, once through the air and once on the ground, as part of“He made the most of it and I was so excited for him. He’s been a part of this offense for a long time.
When Dixon later scored on a 22-yard reverse near the end of the third quarter, same thing, seemingly more of a celebratory scene than just an ordinary touchdown. After 56 catches for 932 and three touchdowns across his freshman and sophomore seasons in 2018 and 2019, Dixon hit the NCAA Transfer Portal on Oct. 12, 2020. Instead of leaving Utah, though, he remained enrolled, kept going to class, and was classified as a non-squad member of the football team.
Added Dixon: “It may sound cliche, but I’m just having fun with the game. You come out here, you see yourself making plays, you visualize it, and it brings more confidence. It’s been great. I try to do the most I can. As a player, from a teammate’s perspective, I try to do the most I can. It’s great to know that it’s being seen by my teammates. It’s pretty cool.”
The passing attack, sans Kuithe, will remain a puzzle for a little while. Vele has taken steps forward with 13 catches between the last two games. Tight end Dalton Kincaid is a known, capable pass-catching commodity. If Micah Bernard can continue being a receiving option out of the backfield, if Thomas Yassmin and Munir McClain can keep making strides at tight end, Utah and Rising can survive a Kuithe-less offense.
