Utes in the Pros: Super Bowl LX
2/6/2026 10:49 AM | Football
SALT LAKE CITY –The matchup is set and we are just two days from finding out which team will raise the Vince Lombardi Trophy as the winner of Super Bowl LX.
The Seattle Seahawks will represent the NFC and include former Utah standout Connor O'Toole as a member of the team's active roster. O'Toole went undrafted in 2025 but later signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent. On the other side, the New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl as the AFC Champions and former Utah cornerback Miles Battle is with the Patriots' practice squad.
Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. MT on Sunday, with broadcast coverage in the United States on NBC.
During his rookie season, O'Toole has appeared in eight games, tallying three tackles and a fumble recovery as primarily a special teams contributor. He was at Utah from 2020-24, beginning his college career as a wide receiver before moving to defensive end for his final three seasons.
Battle has played in five games for New England this season, contributing three tackles in bouncing between the practice squad and active roster. As a rookie in 2024, he suited up in one game for the Patriots, making a pair of stops and defending three passes. Battle was at Utah for 2023 after transferring from Ole Miss.
