SALT LAKE CITY – The countdown for Hans & Scotty’s 60 in 60 is on. Coming in at #12 is Utah’s Dalton Kincaid (TE).
Throughout the summer Hans & Scotty are counting down the top 60 college football players in the state of Utah as voted on by the media (and a fan ballot).
“In our opinion, one of the best if not the best tight end in the country,” Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said of his tight end. “He’s a complete tight end, can do it all, he can block, he can catch. He’s just a very athletic tight end with excellent size.”
Utah’s Dalton Kincaid
Kincaid is a senior from Las Vegas, Nevada. Before joining the Utes in 2020, Kincaid was a standout at San Diego. He earned AP and Hero Sports All-American honors in 2019 with 44 receptions for 835 yards and eight touchdowns. Kincaid led all FCS tight ends in yards per catch in 2019 with 18.98, ranked second in receiving yards with 835, and 69.6 receiving yards per game.
