Lloyd is the first Utes linebacker to make the AP first team, and is the ninth first-team All-American in program history.

It has been a remarkable season for Lloyd whose eight sacks leads all Pac-12 linebackers. During the 2021 regular season, Lloyd had at least one tackle for loss in 10 of Utah's 13 games to go with his four interceptions.
