TJ Lateef News: Full go vs. Utah

Lateef (hamstring) is a "full go" to play against Utah on Dec. 31, head coach Matt Rhule told Lauren Michelson of KETV on Saturday.

Lateef injured his hamstring against Iowa on Dec. 2 in the season finale, but he's had nearly an entire month to recover. The star quarterback should handle his regular workload in this bowl game against the Utes. He completed 62.1 percent of his passes in six outings in 2025, tossing for 722 yards and a 4:0 TD:INT.
