SALT LAKE CITY – Utah WR Daidren Zipperer heads into the 2025 season looking to capitalize on the quickness and athleticism that the Utes’ wide receiver desperately needs.
Nagging injuries may have limited Zipperer in the spring, but they haven’t prevented him from showing off the skillset that brought him to Salt Lake City in the first place.
“Another player that has really started to come into his own,” Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said. “Really did some good things in spring. He was hampered by a few injuries this spring, so he wasn’t there every day. But the days he was there, he really made an impact.”
The redshirt sophomore made eight catches for 122 last season.
