Summary

Christian Cox is a hard-hitting success story. The Utah defensive end has come full circle in his college football career. He's gone from walk-on to team captain to first-team all-conference in his four years up on the hill.

Nice job Cox! Great example of what a Ute is all about.

The dunk that tap tap did was AWESOME!

We were yelling for him to suit up since the bball team was losing to Pepperdine at the half.

good story. Cox is a great role model and what he brought to the football field will definitely help him off the field when his playing days are done.

Utah always has a couple walk-ons (or former walk-ons) every season that get significant More..

I didn't read the article, just commenting on the title. Cox is not Utah's version of Rudy. Cox is a starter and a team captain.
