Braden Pegan News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Utes

Capitalizes on limited opportunities Pegan accrued two receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-17 victory against Iowa State.

Impact Pegan made the most of his touches, finding the end zone on a 24-yard touchdown reception. While the box score wasn't overwhelming with volume for Utah's receivers, that's more a reflection of Wayshawn Parker's huge day and the Utes' balanced offense attack than any concern about Pegan's role. He remains a useful fantasy option, particularly in games where Utah is forced to throw more often.

Establishing himself as Utah's WR1 Pegan reeled in 8 of 11 targets for 122 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 33-0 victory against Utah State.

Impact Pegan erupted against Utah State, turning a season-high 11 targets into a 100-yard receiving performance and two touchdowns. For fantasy managers, this looked like a true breakout performance rather than a one-week spike. The trend is hard to ignore. Pegan has become QB Devon Dampier's preferred target, and the season-high target total only reinforces that he's the receiver to roster in Utah's offense. Going forward, Pegan looks like a weekly fantasy starter with his combination of volume, big-play ability, and red-zone usage.

Quiet in Utah rout Pegan recorded three catches (on six targets) for 32 yards during Saturday's 43-10 victory against Arkansas.

Impact Pegan took a backseat in Utah's rout of Arkansas as the Utes spread production throughout the offense and built a comfortable lead early. While the box score wasn't eye-catching, Pegan remains a starter in an offense led by the dynamic Devon Dampier, which keeps him on the fantasy radar. Fantasy managers will be hoping for a larger target share moving forward as Utah enters the heart of its schedule.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Turns limited opportunities into a score Pegan had four receptions (on five targets) for 81 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 66-14 victory versus Idaho.

Impact Pegan made his presence felt in Utah's season-opening blowout, finding the end zone as part of an offense that rolled up 633 total yards against Idaho. With Utah building a massive lead early and spreading touches across multiple skill players, volume was limited, but Pegan capitalized on his opportunities and remained involved in the passing attack. The encouraging takeaway for fantasy managers is that he was among the receivers trusted to produce scoring plays in a deep offensive rotation. Heading into next week, Pegan profiles as a flex-worthy fantasy option with room for a larger target share if Utah is forced to keep its starters on the field longer.

Lands with Utes Pegan will transfer to Utah, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.com.

Impact Pegan broke out with the Aggies in 2025, reeling in 60 catches for 926 yards and five scores, also rushing for a touchdown. With one year of eligibility remaining, Pegan will take his talents to Salt Lake City, where he'll immediately compete for a starting role with the Utes.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Opts out of bowl Pegan (transfer portal) has opted out of the Aggies' bowl game Monday against Washington State, Jason Turner of The Herald Journal reports.

Impact Pegan's primary and singular focus will be on selecting where he will enroll for 2026. During 2025, the wide receiver logged 937 all-purpose yards and six touchdowns. In place of Pegan for the Aggies' bowl game is projected to be Kahanu Davis.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Entering transfer portal Pegan plans to enter the transfer portal, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.

Impact Pegan, who's coming off a very productive season with the Aggies, will be looking for a new school this offseason. He caught 60 passes for 925 yards and five touchdowns and will now likely be looking to jump to a bigger program. He spent the first two seasons of his career with UCLA where he appeared in three total games. It's unclear if he intends to play in the Potato Bowl on Dec. 22.

Two grabs in loss Pegan tallied two receptions (on 10 targets) for 27 yards during Friday's 25-24 loss against Boise State.

Impact Pegan was targeted often Friday, though he only managed to bring in a pair of receptions, matching his fewest in a game this season. Still, it was a breakout regular season for the junior wideout, who will head into the Aggies' bowl game with 60 receptions (on 97 targets) for 925 yards and five touchdowns.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Week 14 Pegan (undisclosed) is available for Friday's game against Boise State.

Impact In the midst of a career year, Pegan has a legitimate chance to finish off his 2025 regular season with four-digit all-purpose yards. He will need a great game against Boise State, but that looks possible, especially considering his overall performances this year. Pegan's current season includes 58 receptions (on 87 targets) for 898 yards and five touchdowns. He also has four carries for another 11 yards, meaning he is just 91 short of four-digit yards in all yards this season.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Pegan (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Boise State.

Impact Utah State's availability report suggests that the 2025 Aggies may finish their regular season without Pegan, who broke out during it. With 58 receptions (on 87 targets) for 898 yards and five touchdowns, he has not only proven himself to be a quality option but also one of the Mountain West Conference's best wideouts. Having him available against Boise State is expected to significantly improve the Aggies' chances of playing spoiler against BSU.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another big game Pegan hauled in 8 of 11 targets for 79 yards during Saturday's 28-17 victory against Fresno State.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 13 targets, 109 yards Pegan hauled in 8 of 13 targets for 109 yards during Saturday's 29-26 overtime defeat against UNLV.

Impact For 2025, 13 is Pegan's season high in targets. Considering that he is a deep option and caught more than 60.0 percent of pass attempts that Bryson Barnes threw to him, the wide receiver logging triple-digit yardage should be unsurprising. This season, Week 12 marks the third time Pegan has recorded more than 100 receiving yards.

Impact Pegan was overshadowed by Brady Boyd on Saturday, who totaled 117 yards with a pair of touchdowns. Still, Pegan leads the Aggies with 710 yards and five touchdowns on 710 receptions this season.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive again in loss Pegan totaled five receptions (on nine targets) for 108 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 33-14 loss against New Mexico.

Impact Pegan was the lone Utah State receiver to log more than two receptions Saturday, as the junior continues to stand out as Bryson Barnes' go-to option. Pegan's brought in 12 of 17 targets for 201 yards in his last two games. Overall, he's totaled 39 receptions (on 57 targets) for 654 yards and five touchdowns in eight contests this season.
