Utah OT Kelvin Obot named top impact freshman in Big 12

Kelvin Obot, a five-star offensive lineman for the Utah Utes, has been named the No. 1 impact freshman in the Big 12 for the 2026 season. Obot fills a crucial role after Utah lost its entire starting offensive line. The former Idaho Player of the Year is expected to contribute significantly under head coach Morgan Scalley and offensive line coach Jordan Gross. Obot's high school performance included averages of 42.2 points and 448.4 yards per game, alongside strong defensive stats. His development will be essential for Utah as they establish new leaders in the trenches.
