Buk came to the United States as a refugee in 2011, and within a few years he was already facing multiple felony counts for burglary, animal cruelty, theft, and providing false information to police. However, all those charges were eventually dismissed after Buk's stepmother provided a photo of a birth certificate from South Sudan, which showed his birthdate as being in 2001. That made him a legal minor for a variety of crimes for which he'd been charged as an adult.

His attorneys have argued that the government assigned him an arbitrary birthdate of January 1, 1999, when he arrived in the U.S. as a refugee. They claim that his actual birthdate is November 19, 2001, based on the Sudanese birth certificate.

His birth certificate, which was not verified for authenticity, led to the dismissal of multiple cases against Buk on two separate occasions.

Notably, his Sudanese birth year was 2000 in one of the cases, and changed to 2001 in the other.

Utah has designated longtime defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley as the “head coach in waiting” who will take over whenever Kyle Whittingham steps down.

Athletic director Mark Harlan announced the succession plan on Monday. Scalley is entering his 17th year on Whittingham’s Utah staff and his ninth season as defensive coordinator.

“Coach Whittingham has built Utah Football into one of the nation’s elite programs through a strong culture, tradition and exceptional student-athletes, and he has been clear about his intentions of continuing to lead this incredible Utah Football program as we move into the Big 12 Conference and into the new expanded College Football Playoff,” Harland said in a statement. “However, we must plan for the future, and Coach Whittingham and I both strongly believe that that future lies with Morgan Scalley.

“Morgan has played a critical role in our success through his embodiment of our core values and his leadership, and I have witnessed first-hand his growth as a coach and as a person over the last several years. He is an elite coach who has been trained by the best — Coach Whittingham — and whenever it is time for Morgan to take the helm, I have no doubt that our program will continue to have success.”

Whittingham, 64, is entering his 20th season as Utah’s head coach as the Utes move from the Pac-12 to the Big 12. He owns a 162-79 record and holds the school record for career coaching victories.

“Morgan Scalley is an exceptional football coach and his naming as the head coach in waiting at the University of Utah is a testament to that,” Whittingham said in a statement. “It is a distinction he has earned not only because of his outstanding coaching abilities, but also because of his selfless dedication to the program as well as to the Utah Athletics family. The culture and tradition within Utah Football is a point of pride for our staff, and when the time comes for a transition in the leadership of our program, we know that Morgan will carry on those traditions the Utah Football way.”

Brandon Rose done for season as Utah loses 3rd QB to injury​

Utah quarterback Brandon Rose, who made his first career start last week against BYU, will miss the rest of the season because of a lower leg injury that will require surgery.

Utes coach Kyle Whittingham confirmed Rose's injury Tuesday night.

Rose is the third Utah quarterback lost for the season, following Cam Rising and Sam Huard. Utah, picked to win the Big 12 in its first year in the league, has endured a string of significant injuries, which includes wide receiver Money Parks and tight end Brant Kuithe, who also sustained a season-ending injury against BYU.

Freshman Isaac Wilson, who initially replaced Rising as Utah's starter after the senior's injury, will lead the offense this week at No. 17 Colorado.

Just sayin': Utah is now on their 4th QB; however, even though he's a Freshman, he (apparently) did start a few games after the injury to Cam Rising.
