Utah's new offensive coaching staff continues to come together.
Micah Simon has been hired as the Utes' wide receivers coach, the program announced Thursday evening.
Simon spent the 2024 campaign serving in the same role at New Mexico and will now reunite with Lobos-turned-Utah offensive coordinator Jason Beck in Salt Lake City.
A BYU receiver from 2015-19, Simon caught 90 passes for 1,109 yards and five touchdowns for the Cougars. His most memorable collegiate highlight came on the road against Tennessee in 2019, when he hauled in a miraculous 64-yard reception from Zach Wilson in the final seconds of regulation to help force overtime and stun the Volunteers.
Simon, a Dallas native, has also served as an analyst at Syracuse and wide receivers coach at Northern Colorado for one season each. Before entering the coaching world, he spent time with the NFL's Carolina Panthers as well as the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League.
In addition to Simon, Utah has hired another former Cougar, Mark Atuaia , to serve as running backs coach.
