Utah Utes mailbag: Would sophomores and juniors who go undrafted consider returning if more lucrative NIL opportunities are available?

, and was used sparingly vs. Oregon State, USC, and the Wildcats. In that six-game stretch, Thomas carried the ball 51 times.

From up in the press box Saturday night, I definitely thought Thomas looked spry. He looked in shape, he looked fast, he was busting outside, he was cutting back inside, he was absorbing first contact and gaining more yards, he looked smooth. The career-high in rushing yards aside, that may have been the best game I’ve seen Thomas play in two seasons at Utah.

Q: “Multiple sophomores and juniors walked on Senior Night. The majority will not get drafted and many will sign as UDFAs or get camp invites. The chance of making an NFL roster under those circumstances is slim. Would these players consider staying if more lucrative NIL opportunities were available?” - @chikalenysI agree that this is not going to be a good NFL draft cycle at Utah, and the majority of guys will wind up signing UDFAs.

In fairness, it is not as simple as I just made it, and I have laid out why a number of times in recent weeks. Rising is in his fifth year of college, does he have an appetite for more school? He will be 23 years old next year, so the clock is ticking on his viability as a professional, and he and his sports-savvy parents/family absolutely know and understand that part of it.

Whittingham went on to say that he has not had specific conversations with Rising, just generalities until after this season is over.I really enjoy engaging with Utah fans, because sometimes, you get this. A fan, who I think is serious here, just completely skips the Oregon game, skips the Pac-12 championship game against Oregon, USC, UCLA, or Washington, and goes straight to who the Utes will play in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2.There are a lot of variables still in play.
