Saturday, a pair of prominent Utah Utes football standouts from last season made the news as NFL teams begin to prepare their rosters for final cutdowns.
Senior staff/writer Jeff Zrebeic of the Athletic-Baltimore confirmed the Baltimore Ravens are releasing Tyler Huntley, the former Utes’ quarterback.

However, former University of Utah and BYU standout linebacker Francis Bernard appears to be making the Dallas Cowboys’ roster. This information comes from Salt Lake Tribune University of Utah beat writer Josh Newman.
Former Utah LB Francis Bernard, a UDFA who has impressed in Cowboys camp, is in position to make the 53-man roster.

However, a chance exists that Huntley may return to the Ravens.
Another Utah deal to keep an eye on today: Tyler Huntley or Trace McSorley at QB3 for the Ravens.
If Huntley is released, he may get scooped up off waivers. If not, he’d be a safe bet to make Ravens practice squad. https://t.co/O4GJIozk6T
