Behind the Blueprint: Mason Yellico, Director of Scouting, University of Utah

In this Behind the Blueprint episode, I sit down with Mason Yellico, Director of Scouting at Utah, to talk about his rise from laundry duty at Oklahoma State to leading evaluations for a Power Four program. He shares how he balances high school recruiting with the transfer portal, why competitiveness tops his list of must-have traits, and how analytics and relationships shape Utah’s success. It’s an inside look at the strategy and culture driving one of college football’s most consistent programs.
