Utah wide receiver Mycah Pittman officially entered the transfer portal on Wednesday night, marking another chapter in his well-traveled collegiate football career. Pittman joined the Utes ahead of the 2023 season but saw limited action due to injuries and depth at the position. This season, he recorded six receptions for 50 yards while contributing on special teams, running back eight punts for 45 yards.

Pittman’s 2024 campaign featured a handful of highlights, including a season-best 21-yard reception against Arizona and a multi-catch game at Houston. He also handled key punt return duties, showcasing his versatility with a season-long 17-yard return against Baylor. Despite limited production, his impact on the field reflected his knack for contributing in multiple phases of the game.
