Utah star tight end Brant Kuithe was recently named to ESPN’s “Way-To-Early All-America team” for the 2024 season.
Kuithe earned a second-team selection from ESPN after Michigan’s Colston Loveland was selected to the first-team.
“We talked to NFL scouts, college coaches, and other media members to select the players projected to be the best at their respective positions in 2024,” said ESPN’s Chris Low regarding the team’s selection process.
Earning the title of one of the nation’s best tight ends entering the 2024 season is an extraordinary feat for Kuithe, who hasn’t played a snap of college football since 2022. The tight end suffered a season-ending injury in a game against Arizona State, which took significantly longer to heal than initially expected.
As one of Utah’s longest-tenured players, Kuithe has been one of the program’s best offensive weapons when healthy. As a premier target for both former Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley and current Utah signal caller Cam Rising, Kuithe has amassed a total of 148 receptions, 1,882 yards, and 16 career touchdowns in six seasons with the Utes.
