The two former Utes players, high school teammates and friends from Mesquite, Texas were both killed in the past year.
Johnson was killed in an accidental shooting in December 2020 while Lowe was fatally shot last month.
Utah announced it will be the first retired number in program history, and both Johns and Lowe have had memorial scholarships created in their names.
