Two notable declarations amongst the onslaught of information regarding NCAA transfer portal news that hit social media Monday included a pair of Utah tight ends.
One, Landen King, remained committed to the Utes.
Another, Carsen Ryan, announced his intention to enter the transfer portal, which opened Monday and will stay that way through Dec. 28.
This also comes less than a week after Utah announced Jason Beck as its new offensive coordinator.
Both King and Ryan arrived at Utah as transfers.
King, a redshirt junior in 2024, has spent the past two seasons with the Utes after transferring from Auburn.
While King played in all 12 games during the 2024 season, he didn’t have an impact in the receiving game until the end of the year, when he had three catches for 54 yards and a touchdown over the final three games during a tumultuous 5-7 campaign.
During the 2023 season, the 6-foot-5 King caught 14 passes for 166 yards and three touchdowns for the Utes — he played in all 13 games, starting four.
Ryan, meanwhile, spent one year at Utah after previously being at UCLA.
The 6-foot-4 junior who prepped at American Fork High caught 10 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown this season, with his top game coming against Colorado — that day, he caught four passes for 78 yards.
In two seasons at UCLA, Ryan had 19 receptions for 287 yards and three touchdowns.
