Utah football projected starters on offense in 2025

Coming off an injury-riddled 2024 campaign, the Utah football program hopes to get back on track in its second season as a member of the Big 12 conference.

After struggling to put up points without Cam Rising under center for most of last season, the Utes spent this offseason revamping their offense, from their starting quarterback position to the offensive coordinator himself.

While Utah's skill position groups have been retooled, its offensive line remains completely intact. That's huge news for Utes quarterback Devon Dampier, who's already one of the most elusive signal-callers in college football. With two projected first-round picks protecting him at the tackle spots, Dampier should have all the time he needs to make his reads from the pocket next season.

Let's take a look at the skill players surrounding Dampier, as well as the rest of Utah's projected starters on offense.
