Devon Dampier Eyes Davey O'Brien Glory | Utah Utes Football News

Devon Dampier, Utah’s dual-threat QB, is heating up the preseason watch list for the Davey OBrien Award—college football’s QB crown jewel. Despite battling a sports hernia and ankle injury last season, he still racked up over 2,000 passing yards, 22 TDs, and nearly 700 rushing yards with 7 scores, leading Utah to an 11-win campaign capped by a Las Vegas Bowl MVP performance. Now, with the Utes’ new head coach in town, Dampier’s got eyes on history—he’s one of 30 QBs vying for the honor, and no Ute has ever won it before. Fans can help push him forward via social media voting starting Nov. 10, with finalists announced Nov. 24 and the winner revealed live on ESPN Dec. 11. Season opener? Sept. 3 against Idaho.
