The first touchdown of the college football season was scored by a player from Utah

The first game of the 2025 college football season on Saturday a Big 12 Conference matchup featuring the 22nd-ranked Iowa State Cyclones and the 17th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats got off to a rather slow start, as neither team scored for the first 11:34 of the contest.

But with 3:26 remaining in the first quarter, Iowa State found the end zone, and it was a player from Utah who scored the touchdown.

On a first and 10 play from the 23 yard line, Cyclones quarterback Rocco Becht lined up in the shotgun and faked the handoff.

With plenty of time in the pocket despite the Wildcats rushing five players, Becht threw long.

Receiver Dominic Overby, who graduated from West Jordan High, had gotten past his defender and barely had to reach out to grab the ball as he entered the end zone.

Listed at 6-foot-5 and 200 pounds, Overby was a prospect in the Class of 2024.

He was the fourth-ranked recruit in the class in the state of Utah, according to 247 Sports rankings.

As a freshman in 2024, Overby appeared in six games before redshirting and registered one catch for nine yards.

Beside the touchdown reception Saturday, he had one other catch for six yards as Iowa State beat Kansas State, 24-21..
