Defensive Back Building Foundation at Utah Tech
Valenzuela is a 5'11", 185-lb defensive back in his redshirt junior year at Utah Tech who's developing as a reliable defender. In the 2023 season, he appeared in all 11 games with one start, recording 11 total tackles and notching his first collegiate interception against Northern Arizona[1]. A four-year varsity starter at Charter Oak High School where he led his defense in interceptions for two seasons and earned team MVP honors[1], Valenzuela brings defensive instincts and experience. His psychology major and stated commitment to "be part of something great" suggest maturity and focus. Best fit for programs valuing developmental talent with proven high school pedigree and a trajectory toward increased playing time.
