The NFL’s cutdown day has come and gone — and with it, all 32 teams have their initial 53-man rosters for the 2026 season.
That is far from the end of transactions in the lead-up to the start of the season on Sept. 9 — on Monday, teams can begin to assemble their practice squads — but for more than 1,000 players, the reality this weekend was getting news they had been released or waived.
This reality hit a number of players with Utah ties. Over the weekend, 34 players who have played at either a Utah college or high school were cut, and four more were moved to a reserve list.
There were 54 players with Utah ties, though, who found a spot on initial 53-man rosters.
The University of Utah leads the way, with 23 former Utes making an initial 53-man roster. BYU followed with 12, while Utah State has four, Weber State has four, Snow College has three and Southern Utah has two, while 29 of those 54 played high school football in Utah (there is some overlap with those who also played college ball in the Beehive State).
There are seven rookies with Utah ties who made an initial 53-man roster, including six draft picks and one — former Utes offensive guard Tanoa Togiai — who made it as an undrafted free agent.
Here’s a full breakdown of these Utah ties who made the cut, those who didn’t and those who landed on reserve lists.
