Although Utah has some solid returning receivers, Solomon Enis is arguably the most talented of the bunch. That’s tough to argue, but he’s got incredible size at 6-foot-4 and around 200 pounds, but he has even better hands and impressive athleticism.

Enis was the second-highest ranked player in Utah’s 2018 recruiting class behind quarterback Jack Tuttle and the expectations surrounding him never wavered.

The sophomore receiver is projected to be a starter and he could be a go-to target for Tyler Huntley in 2019. With his size, why wouldn’t the quarterback want to throw the ball up to him and let him make plays?

Enis finished with 13 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown in eight games as a true freshman, but you can expect to see him break the 500-yard mark in 2019, especially with a strong spring under his belt.

Experience means a lot for receivers and if he gets the playbook down and runs crisp routes, he’ll earn more trust from his coaches and quarterback. Enis is going to be a star in the Pac-12, soon leading the Utes’ receiving corps.
