Utah general manager Brandon Sparks discusses scouting Greg Janowick

Tennessee’s Greg Janowick was selected in the second round (No. 18 overall) by the Utah Warriors in the 2022 Major League Ruby draft.

Utah general manger Brandon Sparks discussed Janowick following the draft.

“Greg is another player we’ve been tracking for the past two years,” Sparks said. “If you watched Tennessee’s game against Bowling Green for the national championship in the fall, you will understand he is more than just a big, tall rugby player.

“He came to Utah earlier this week for a pre-draft workout and we were impressed to see he had shed 30 pounds and transformed his body to be ready for the MLR environment. He did a great job learning from our coaches and players while here too, but the most impressive thing for us was how he is a student of the game. His scouting work of opposition and understanding of data applied to the game of rugby are traits we are passionate about with our players.”
