Blake Cotton brings NFL-sized length, press-man grit, and real starting experience to Utah's secondary
In the 2025 season, Blake Cotton played in all 13 games for Utah with 8 starts, posting 30 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 7 pass breakups. His best calling cards are his 6-foot-2 frame, length, and willingness to play physical press coverage—traits that fit a man-heavy scheme and made him a steady portal add for the Utes. The knock is that his ball production has been modest, so he profiles more as a dependable, tough cover corner than a splash-play merchant. If your team wants size, competitiveness, and a mature defender, he’s a strong fit.
