One of the key college football storylines in the Beehive State this fall will be how BYU, Utah and Utah State fare with experienced senior quarterbacks under center.
But which of the three is best? Second? Third?
Athlon Sports attempted to answer that question Tuesday as it ranked all 128 signal-callers who are slated to lead FBS teams.
The Cougars' Taysom Hill came in at No. 10 in the country, the Aggies' Chuckie Keeton was No. 28 and the Utes' Travis Wilson is slotted at No. 47.
The list noted Hill's improvement as a passer before an injury sidelined him for the second half of the 2014 season, questioned whether Keeton can return to his 2012 form and highlighted Wilson's career-high 18 touchdown passes last year.
Although former Utah head coach Urban Meyer has yet to name a starter at Ohio State, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones shared the top spot on the list.
Jazz trio in NBA's Top 40
Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert have emerged as the key pieces in the Utah Jazz's effort to build a playoff and championship contender.
But how do the three stack up against the rest of the NBA's players?
Sports Illustrated is unveiling a list of the league's Top 100 players throughout the week, and the Utah players are bunched near one another. Hayward is ranked No. 31, Favors is No. 37 and Gobert is No. 39.
Hayward is described as an "efficient alpha scorer," Favors is the league's "most underrated player" and Gobert is called an "undeniable stalwart."
Frank Jackson commits to Duke, receives national attention
Lone Peak High School star guard Frank Jackson made the decision Tuesday to commit to play for Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke Blue Devils, and his announcement received quite the bevy of headlines around the country.
A sampling:
"This is one of the nation’s most consistent and promising guard prospects, regardless of class, and a player who should be very productive right away in Durham," opined Scout.com's Josh Gershon.
"The 6-3, 180-pound Jackson is often described as a 'combo guard,' but he could play point guard in college and the NBA. He possesses top-end athleticism and can both create his own scoring opportunities and facilitate for others," wrote Sports Illustrated's Chris Johnson.
