While the idea of a bigger role is enticing, for now Dunn is living up his recent success.
"Right now I’m trying to make the best of my time here," he said. "I don’t have a lot of time left, it’s almost over, so I’m just enjoying being with my teammates."
The unassuming guy does hope he can have one other effect on his teammates.
He wishes others will follow his trend of a wild haircut, believing the team should have "rally ’hawks," like the rally mustaches the Utes sported a year ago.
The idea has a good chance of catching on. As for catching Dunn, there is almost no chance of that happening.
