Former Utah DB Jocelyn Malaska To Transfer to Oklahoma
Another former Utah player has found a home elsewhere as this time it was former three-star defensive back Jocelyn Malaska.
The Bethany, Oklahoma native revealed on Tuesday that he was transferring to Oklahoma following an offer as a preferred walk-on. It is unclear if he had other Power 5 offers, but clearly felt it was the best option for him.
During his time in Salt Lake City, he saw action in eight games across the past two seasons as a reserve. He didn't register a stat, and saw most of his action as a member of special teams.
In a statement reported by On3, Malaska revealed that he feels that Oklahoma gives him the best chance at developing.

As a recruit, Malaska chose Utah over programs such as Texas Tech, Hawaii, Kansas, SMU, and Tulsa.
