Yes, there is a U.S. President with a connection to Utah:
Ezra Taft Benson
Position: Secretary of Agriculture under President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961).
Connection to Utah: Benson was a prominent member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and was involved in politics in Utah, although he was never President of the United States. His association with Utah is notable, but he did not serve as President.
J. Reuben Clark
Position: He was the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico and a key figure in the LDS Church, but he was not a President of the United States.
