Andre Dyson - Titans or Seahawks & Brother Kevin Redskins Clearfield HS Ben Moa Dolphins Ogden HS Bret Engemann Raiders Timpview HS I know there are more but that all that come to mind right now. Of course, I will "take credit" for all the former U of Utah players; Scott Mitchell, Mike Anderson, Jamal Anderson, Alex Smith, Jordan Gross, etc...
