SALT LAKE CITY – The countdown for Hans & Scotty’s 60 in 60 is on. Coming in at #57 is Utah State’s Daniel Grzesiak (DE).
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).
“Daniel Grzesiak is a Nevada transfer defensive end,” Utah State head coach Blake Anderson said of his defensive end. “Brought him in as a pass rush specialist, possibly had the best spring out of anybody up front. He loves to chase the quarterback, loves to run sideline-to-sideline, down-to-down can get off the edge and I expect him to have huge numbers for us this fall.”
