Crimson Corner proudly brought in former Utah football middle linebacker Taulia Lave (1995-2000) to discuss with Utah Utes Insider Michelle Bodkin his time at Utah and a budding country music career.

Lave described his time with former Utah football head coach Ron McBride, his wife, Vicky, as well as watching then defensive coordinator Kyle Whittingham develop into the force he currently is as head coach of the Utes. Lave then dived into his continued relationship with all three and what they have meant to all of the players they’ve encountered over the years.

From there, Michelle and Lave got into his growing career as a country music artist, his recent visit to Nashville, Tennessee to record his first album, and getting to open for the Ron McBride Benefit Concert (https://www.thecomplexslc.com/event-2490.htm) taking place on June 22.

The show closed on a very emotional note as Lave descibed what it means to be able to give back to McBride after all the love he has shared not only with Lave, but every person he’s come in contact with.
