Tradon Bessinger — Football, Iowa
D1

2025 Utah Player of the Year

Tradon rewrote Utah’s record book without ever leaving Kaysville. A three-year starter at Davis, he threw for 10,908 career yards and 127 touchdowns — eighth all-time in state history for yards, fourth for touchdowns — and saved his best for last: 4,313 yards and 53 scores as a senior at 76 percent completion, plus a state-record 333 completions in a single season. In one September stretch he threw for 400-plus yards in three straight games, including a 504-yard, five-touchdown night against Syracuse. In 2025 they named him Utah’s Player of the Year.

Jesse Wade — Basketball, Gonzaga → BYU
D1

2015 Utah Mr. Basketball

Jesse got cut from Utah’s state competition team as a sophomore. Most kids let that end the story. He went the other way with it. By his senior year at Davis he was the top-ranked recruit in the state and Utah’s Mr. Basketball, averaging 26.8 points a game with a 46-point night against Fremont along the way.

Kendell Petersen — Soccer, BYU
D1

Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week

When a new academy team came recruiting before her senior year, Kendell stayed at Northridge. Her words: “I wanted to finish everything that I started.” She finished it with two state championships, three straight team MVP awards, and first-team all-state honors.

Rex Sunderland — Basketball, New Hampshire → Stonehill → Utah Tech
D1

Signed with Utah Tech Basketball

Rex stacked a résumé at Davis that few Utah guards can match: back-to-back 6A All-State first team, three region championships, the 2021 6A state title, and Davis Male Athlete of the Year as a senior. The title run tells you who he is — as a seventh seed in the state semifinal, he poured in a game-high 25 points, went 13-of-17 from the foul line, and dragged the Darts past Corner Canyon in overtime. Biggest stage, biggest moments.

Wyatt Koelling — Wrestling, Missouri
D1

Won the U.S. Open, made Team USA

Wyatt had been chasing this since the seventh grade. At Davis he was the varsity captain, a three-time Fargo finalist — high school wrestling’s biggest national stage — and the 2015 Fargo Greco-Roman national champion. His own words tell you how: “Sometimes I am in the wrestling room or gym working out for three to four hours at a time.” His coach put it even plainer — he does not burn out, he does not get tired. Missouri, one of the best wrestling programs in the country, signed him for exactly that.

Paisa Savea — Football, Snow College → Oregon State
D1

Started for Oregon State in the Pac-12

Paisa’s road to the Pac-12 is the longest one on this wall. Born in American Samoa, one of sixteen kids — eight brothers and seven sisters — he grew into the anchor of the defensive line at Northridge in Layton: 35 tackles as a senior, rugby every offseason, Honor Roll and National Honor Society in the classroom. Then he stepped away from the game for two years to serve a mission in California. When he came back, he earned his spot at Snow College and helped drive a 10-1 season — a league title, a bowl championship, and a No. 2 national finish that made him a three-star recruit and one of Utah’s top junior-college prospects.
