Eventually the football stops for every player, some much sooner than anticipated, others when the timing is just right. After spending time at a Minnesota Vikings rookie minicamp, Dylan Utter took to Twitter to hang up the cleats.

Utter, a walk-on from Papillion-LaVista, started every game for the last two years, spending his junior year at guard, before moving inside to center. Utter started one game as a sophomore in 2014.

The lineman was a team captain in 2016 and was named to the student athlete honor roll, as well as being named Academic All-Big Ten with his classwork off the field.
