Bronson Kaufusi lived up to the pre-draft prediction that he’d be the first collegian in Utah picked in the NFL draft that concluded last weekend.

Simply put, Kaufusi deserved it.

On the other hand, Southern Utah is the big winner in state in the 2016 draft.

Why?

Because SUU is an FCS program with a fraction of the resources FBS schools Utah, BYU and Utah State have.
