When all is said and done Zack Moss may not be the only senior leaving a permanent mark in Utah’s record books in 2019. Defensive end Bradlee Anae is on pace to break the school sack record—one of the reasons he decided to return to the Utes for his senior year, despite a good opportunity to leave for the NFL after last season. It’s not lost on Anae that he and this team have the potential to do something memorable and he’s determined to do his part to make it happen. “I ju

A first-team All-Pac-12 defensive end at the University of Utah, Anae is on his way to achieving that goal and is three games into a senior season that will determine whether he gets there or not. He could be selfish with his time. After all, this is his one shot to make

Just wanted to show you guys what Bradlee Anae has been up to @ the Pac-12 media days. Enjoy! #BradleeAnae

Wow! 2 Red Raider alum named on to the same watch list! I saw the @alohigilman posting first and now Bradlee's pops into my feed . . . mean! This is definitely history. Just to recap, the Nagurski Trophy is awarded to college football's best defensive player. To think that Red Raider Country could possibly have 2 alum as finalists for this defensive player of the year award in the same year is amazing! #BradleeAnae

The Bednarik Award is presented to the college football defensive player of the year. Just being named to the watch list is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations Bradlee! #PrideoftheNorthShore #GoBigRed #RR4L #BradleeAnae
