SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — It was an eventful day for Utah football as the Utes held both their pro day and first practice of spring camp.
The Utes have never had two first rounders in the same draft class. That could change on April 23rd with offensive linemen Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu.

“I mean, that’s awesome! You know, that doesn’t happen a lot where two bookend tackles get drafted in the first round,” said Lomu. “It’s cool that our entire offensive line is also getting drafted, all five of us are declaring for the draft, which is friken amazing.”
“It’s so cool. Yeah, I mean, like, we metat first at that USC game, the one where Cam had the two-point conversion to win the game,” said Fano. “So that’s where we kind of met and ever since then, he’s been one of my best friends. So, to be able to go through all of this with him has been awesome.”

“Just to learn off each other throughout this past couple of years. It’s just been awesome now that we’re in this position to both get drafted,” said Lomu.

“He’s just a winner, man. He really will do whatever it takes to win,” said junior safety Jackson Bennee. “He definitely leads by example and I look up to coach Scalley a lot.”
“The energy! It’s all energy. And that’s one thing I really love about Scalley, because that’s how I am, to bring energy every day, to be consistent, to want the best out of the team,” said Senior quarterback Devon Dampier. “He’s doing a great job so far.”

“Boring,” said Scalley with a smile. “No, I mean, I don’t get to teach as much. I’m not a position coach. So, I try as much as I can to get out there and teach what I can teach.”
“My role is different. Still have the same energy, the same passion. But I don’t have a position group,” said Scalley.
