Last week, The Oregonian's John Canzano reported that multiple Pac-12 programs have expressed interest in Carrington and the wide receiver was on a visit to Utah on Wednesday.

More than one Pac 12 coach told me today he was interested in Darren Carrington... the ex-Ducks receiver spent the day at Utah.

ESPN's Tom Hackett later confirmed that he heard Carrington was "more than likely coming to Utah," according to sources.
