Utah Preps Podcast

The Utah Preps Podcast runs on names. Moose Bingham goes through Utah high school football one player at a time. Each gets a school, a height and weight, a stat line and a quick verdict on what the film shows. The lists are long and ordered, and they move fast. Position previews do much of the work. A preseason safety ranking picks out Gage Yardley, a Richfield player Bingham calls too talented to stay hidden and worth the trip, and Junior Coughlin of Dixie. A 2024 running back preview praises what Titan Mason did at Desert Hills before reaching a top group Bingham admits was hard to separate. When people asked him to move players up or down, he said everyone went through his algorithm, and the algorithm knows best. That openness is part of what the show offers: it talks openly about how its rankings get made instead of keeping that private. The season ends with all-state teams. One episode covers honorable mentions and the underclass team, with special teams recognized down to the snappers. For the full honorable mention list, which runs too long for the audio, Bingham sends people to his MooseB90 account on Twitter. The first team all-state episode ends by naming Nate Dahl MVP of the state. The first team picks come with stats and a word on character, as when Brock Harris of Pineview is named top tight end for a third straight year. Malik Sika of Westlake, in his first year of football, is flagged as a player every coach should go watch. During the season the focus turns to recent standouts, such as the week's top quarterbacks. Guests add other angles. Tyron Morris-Edwards, a former Utes and Weber State defensive back whom Bingham calls one of his best friends, joins the safety preview, and Lopini Katoa is on the running back episode. An offseason interview with Jackson Powers-Johnson goes beyond the prep level, with talk of meeting NFL teams before the draft. Bingham's style is casual and quick, and it stays warm. He will open an episode by apologizing to Carson Rasmussen because a corrupted SD card lost their interview, then promise to have him back. A running 'Playoffs? You kidding me?' bit bookends several episodes. Shout-outs for offers and commitments usually come before the main topic, and sponsors such as Recruiting for Parents share the airtime. What a listener gets is a running record of Utah prep football: who is producing, who is being overlooked, where the rankings land, and who is being told the next level is within reach.
