Devon Dampier: A Dual-Threat Dynamo
Devon Dampier, who succeeded Jason Beck as offensive coordinator, announced his transfer to the University of Utah in December 2024. Dampier demonstrated his dual-threat ability as a sophomore at New Mexico, racking up 2,768 throwing yards, 12 passing touchdowns, 1,166 rushing yards, and 19 rushing scores.
His performance led New Mexico’s offense to rank fourth nationally, averaging 484.2 yards per game.
The reuniting of Dampier and Beck is expected to reinvigorate Utah’s offense. Beck’s approach, which mainly relies on the run-pass option, enhances Dampier’s skill set. Under Beck’s leadership, New Mexico’s offense ranked fourth in the country in 2024, averaging 484.2 yards per game.
Dampier’s familiarity with the system is expected to ease the transition and potentially lead to major offensive success for the Utes.
While Dampier’s rushing powers are well-documented, his passing accuracy has to improve, with a 57.9% completion rate and a 1:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio in 2024. Addressing these concerns will be important as he enters a more competitive conference.
