Utah’s tight end room is getting a fresh infusion of talent - and size - with the addition of Oklahoma State transfer Will Monney. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound redshirt junior has officially signed with the Utes, becoming the second transfer tight end to join the program this offseason.
Monney arrives in Salt Lake City after a brief stint in Stillwater, where he saw limited action in 2025, pulling in three catches for 39 yards. But before that, he spent two seasons at Utah State, where he flashed more upside, tallying 11 receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown in 2024. While the numbers aren’t eye-popping, the frame and experience are there - and that’s what Utah is betting on.
He’s not coming in alone, either. Monney joins fellow newcomer Noah Bennee, a transfer from Weber State who brings a bit more proven production to the table. Bennee earned second-team All-Big Sky honors in 2025 after posting 23 receptions for 264 yards - solid numbers that show he can be a consistent target in the passing game.
The additions come at a crucial time for Utah. With veteran tight end Dallen Bentley graduating, there’s a clear need to replenish both depth and production.
Hunter Andrews, who looked poised to be a breakout contributor before an injury cut his 2025 season short, is expected to lead the group heading into 2026. But behind him, the competition is wide open.
Monney and Bennee bring different skill sets to the table. Monney’s size and experience in both the Mountain West and Big 12 give him a versatile foundation, while Bennee’s recent production suggests he could make an immediate impact if he adjusts quickly to the Power Five level.
Utah has long leaned on its tight ends to play a significant role in the offense - both as pass-catchers and blockers - and with Andrews working his way back, the door is wide open for someone to step up and carve out a role. Whether it’s Monney, Bennee, or someone else in the room, the battle for snaps is going to be one of the more intriguing position group storylines to watch heading into spring ball.
Bottom line: Utah’s not just adding bodies - they’re adding competition. And that’s exactly what you want when you're trying to reload at a key position.
