young Utah edge with local roots and room to grow
A true freshman defensive end from Salt Lake City, Jared Fredrick brings 6-foot-3, 220-pound length and hometown familiarity to Utah’s 2026 roster, but he is still early in his development and not yet on the depth chart. The appeal is upside: he’s a local East HS product with a clean developmental timeline, making him a low-drama, high-ceiling add for a program that can coach up edge talent. For now, he looks more like a future rotational piece than an immediate impact rusher.
