Just got word that the Utes have settled on the two walk-ons they plan to add to the roster this season, in addition to the news that coach Jim Boylen has awarded a scholarship to walk-on forward Sayre Brennan.

Brennan will inherit the scholarship that was vacated when forward Daniel Deane was kicked off the team -- the Utes are now using their full complement of 13 scholarships -- while 6-foot-8 sophomore forward Jonathan Downie of Bountiful and 5-9 freshman point guard Tre Smith of Magna will join the team as walk-ons.

Both earned their invitations after participating in an open tryout and several subsequent workouts.

"I said I wanted to take a walk-on from the student body -– from the MUSS -– to add some depth," Boylen said in a statement. "We ended up taking two –- a point guard and a big guy. The tryouts went very well. We had a good number of guys try out and there was a lot of interest in the program."

Downie missed his senior season at Bountiful High with a back injury, but had been a starter as a sophomore. Smith was a second-team all-state selection during his senior year at Cyprus High School.

As for Brennan, Boylen said the senior had earned the scholarship by "taking ownership on and off the floor." Brennan is scheduled to graduate in the spring.
