Utah left tackle Garett Bolles will enter the NFL draft, he announced Wednesday.
The 24-year-old Bolles is a junior college transfer, and he spent just one season in Salt Lake City after starting his career two hours south at Snow College. He is ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr.'s No. 3-ranked draft-eligible offensive tackle.
Bolles, who has served on a LDS mission, did not play offense in high school and has just three years of experience at offensive tackle.

Utah, which named Troy Taylor as its offensive coordinator Monday, will have to replace four starters on the O-line next season.
