Daily News | Utah Utes take inspiration from Britain Covey’s rookie season with the Eagles
PASADENA, Calif. — When Philadelphians think of Utah’s football team, they may not think of the quarterback, the head coach, or even a star linebacker.
“It’s awesome,” Utah quarterback Cameron Rising said. “To just see him out there, it just really hits home, and it’s really a special moment because that’s a guy that I’ve worked with. Blood, sweat, and tears went into it. He’s such a great guy so it’s always awesome to see him do well.”“Nothing has changed,” Bernard said. “He’s still that guy. He’s gonna fight to be whatever he wants.”
Covey starred at Utah. The wide receiver led the Utes in receiving yards in three of his four full seasons, while wreaking havoc on special teams. Covey returned four punts for touchdowns during a Utah career that spanned seven years. He played as a true freshman in 2015, before spending two years on an LDS mission in Chile, playing again in 2018, taking an injury redshirt in 2019, before finishing with the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
“We’d go to the game lounge, and he’ll think he’d beat anyone at ping-pong,” Bernard said. “He’s pretty good at ping-pong, but I mean, I’ve seen him lose to a couple guys, so I don’t know.”
