TEMPE, Ariz. — Utah wide receiver Solomon Enis is going home.

The senior from Phoenix is looking forward to playing Arizona State Saturday in the Utes’ Pac-12 opener in front of family and friends. 

“Since it’s my last year, it’s so surreal. I came here in 2018 and played there and I haven’t played there since,” Enis said. “In my last year here, I’m playing there. To get the family there and hopefully come out with a win, it’s the best situation for me.”

How many people is he expecting to be at Sun Devil Stadium to support him?

“My mom told me on Saturday about 25,” Enis said. “I looked at her with a side-eye. But whatever she says, goes. I think it’ll be about 20.”
