Pro Football Focus has projected that 24 players with ties to Utah schools will be among the starters for the 2025 NFL season. This projection highlights the growing influence of Utah athletes in the league, as approximately half of the 51.2 players from Utah schools making initial rosters in recent years are expected to contribute significantly this season.

The University of Utah leads with seven projected starters, closely followed by BYU with six. Notable names include Tyler Allgeier from the Atlanta Falcons and Matt Gay of the Washington Commanders, who is the only kicker on their roster. Players from Utah State, Weber State, Southern Utah, and those who attended high schools in Utah also contribute to this trend.
