Utah Utes Hire Steve Saunders as New Strength Coach

The Utah Utes have made a significant change in their strength and conditioning program by hiring Steve Saunders as their new head strength coach. This transition comes after longtime coach Doug Elisaia left to join the Michigan staff, creating an opportunity for new head coach Morgan Scalley to revamp the weight room. Previously, Greg Argust, who had been with the Utes for over 20 years, was promoted but resigned shortly after spring camp. Saunders, who previously worked with the Baltimore Ravens, is expected to bring a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the Utah Utes' training regimen. His track record includes a strong endorsement from former NFL player Eric Weddle, who credited Saunders for his health and performance during his playing days. With the Utes aiming for a successful season in the Big 12, Saunders' expertise will be crucial in optimizing player conditioning and reducing injuries. The Utah Utes are looking forward to the positive impact Saunders will have on their athletes as they prepare for the upcoming season.
