Upcoming Season
Head coach Kalani Sitake on moving forward in a good direction: Something special was Wisconsin and what made it even better was that we lost to them the year before. Being able to take that learning experience and a year later go up there and beat them when they were more experienced, that was really cool. I think for us, it’s getting the opportunities to make memories, and I hope we do that more consistently. That’s what we are looking forward to doing. Our guys are really excited for this season. There is a different sense this year from our players. They are so anxious to get to the season. Today is a really cool day because it means football is right around the corner. I think the hardest part is for fans to have to wait these 72 days.
Sitake on preparing for the games early in the schedule: More than anything, you just have to be ready for them. We are going to come with a lot of energy for the Utah game and then do that 11 more times and hopefully a bowl game. When I first got the job, I was looking at the schedule and I got really excited. It can be a hard thing looking at the schedules, but as a player, I would’ve loved to play these games. Playing these tough games early in the year will let me know where I stand and how we can prepare and get the program ready. Just keep it coming. I’ve taken the Pat Hill approach: anytime, anywhere. I feel like the program is in a position where we can do that. How are we supposed to know how good we are if we don’t play the best? So let’s just keep lining them up and see what happens.
Sitake on the first few home games: I think our fans give us a big boost, but we have fans everywhere that show up at games, so I don’t feel that being on the road is a big obstacle. I think having those games here in our stadium and in our altitude is going to be a huge advantage. We have to win those games. We have to find ways to be successful and make plays and score a lot of points.
Sitake on starting the 2019 season against Utah: I wish the game was here already. It will keep building and I’m just feeding off what the players are doing. I know there will be a lot of excitement that they players will radiate today. I know that we are going to use the time that we have to prepare for the game and we will have a lot of fun doing it, too.
Tight end Matt Bushman on preparing for fall camp: Coach reminds us that all programs are doing player-run practices, all teams are working out, but the top programs are running them with the most efficiency, the most effort, things like that. If we want to compete with the top, we have to do a little bit extra, so that has been a big focus for us this offseason.
Running back Lopini Katoa on the season opener: We have a big sense of urgency. Last year in the offseason we worked hard to prepare for Arizona, but this year it’s Utah which is obviously a bigger game for us. Utah is definitely in our sights and we’re working hard to beat them every single day.
Quarterback Zach Wilson on opening the season against Utah: Utah is one of those teams that we for sure want to beat. We always want to approach one game at a time. For Utah, we have all this time for preparation, almost an entire year from when the last game ended, that’s the only reason we’re so heavy on Utah. If the schedule was switched around, we would have to prepare for whoever it would be first, but this makes it a little more exciting because you’re going to have those first game mistakes, those first game things that just don’t go right, but I think people are mentally going to be on the right path and we’re going to get things going. I’m just excited because this is the game that we’ve been preparing for since last year. I know our guys will be ready for sure.
Defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga on the 2019 schedule: When I saw we were playing teams like Tennessee, Washington, Toledo and USC, I was just super excited. They’re powerhouse teams and now we have the opportunity to play them and compete with some of their athletes.
Defensive lineman Trajan Pili on the 2019 schedule: This is what we play football for, to play big teams and to show that we’re a good team as well. It’s something that you live for as a football player, to play big games and to have those opportunities.
Linebacker Zayne Anderson on looking forward to the upcoming season and being at BYU: I feel like there’s a lot of talk about how hard our schedule is and how tough the games are, but our coaches are just instilling in us that going to BYU is hard, upholding the academic and moral standards is hard. We came to BYU because it’s hard, and doing hard things make you stronger as a person and as a team. Competing against these top-tier teams is going to give us the experience we need and make us a better team.
Quarterbacks
Head coach Kalani Sitake on Zach Wilson’s return from surgery: It’s going really well; he is looking good. I credit his hard work, our training room, and everyone that has been involved with him. He is on schedule and will be ready to roll. I just expect him to go on the path that he’s gone. He was raised with football being really important to him; he’s a football junkie. I’m looking forward to him leading. I think as a freshman it’s hard to be a leader out there and demand a lot from your teammates, but I think he’s earned that opportunity, and I think Jaren Hall has done the same.
Sitake on Wilson's progression and leadership: I think mentally he’s a lot more comfortable here. If you think about it, when he first entered he came straight out of high school, and not only that but he graduated high school early. So, he graduated high school early, he was thrust on the team as a freshman in January, played spring ball, and we knew we had something special right away. And then seeing the things that he did during the season when he was in the starting spot, I think it’s still hard for a quarterback to be put in a leadership role early, but I was really impressed with the things that he’s doing now that he’s earned the right. I think for a high school senior to come in and speak up is really hard for anyone to do, especially a quarterback, but I think now he’s a lot more comfortable being more demanding of his teammates and I think they’re listening a lot more because he’s earned that right.
Sitake on the quarterback group’s culture: Even during spring ball when he didn’t participate, he became like another coach. I give a lot of credit to what Tanner Mangum did when he got his spot taken away when Zach became the starter; I was really impressed with what he did in the quarterback room, making it be about the team. It was a really unselfish move of him because it established a culture and environment where Zach, Jaren, Baylor and Joe could all follow. They really work together now as a group. I expected them to compete, but I love the feeling of that room and I think a lot has to be said about Tanner and what he did and also about Aaron Roderick and what he’s done with that position group and that room, and also what Jeff Grimes has been doing. The leadership has really stepped up and I saw a lot of leadership from Zach and I saw a lot of it from Jaren and others. It provides a lot of energy for the rest of team. You heard Zayne talk about it in the State of the Program part of our media day, that it affects the whole team when you have a quarterback that’s like that. I’m hoping that it will be a huge advantage for us in the fall.
Offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes on Zach Wilson: One thing is pretty obvious and that’s that he just makes the right decision at the right time. Some of those decisions that he made last year that might have led to a turnover, or that could have put us into positions to get the ball into the end zone. I think the first thing is just making those decisions and knowing where to go with the ball and how to distribute it and knowing when it’s time for him to run, when it’s time for him to throw. Then I think the other thing is something that goes unnoticed and that’s the small details of technique at his position. Footwork in the pocket, getting his body in the right position to be as accurate as he can and delivering the ball on time. All those little things I think will make a huge difference for him this year.
Quarterbacks coach Aaron Roderick on the Twitter video of Zach Wilson throwing: I got excited. He’s been telling me about it, but until I saw a couple of clips on Twitter that was the first time; I saw the same thing you guys did. I’m not allowed to go watch him practice or anything, so the only information I get is from the training room staff and just directly from him, but it was a good sign. The information I’ve been getting is that he’s ahead of schedule, we have a pitch count and then the length of the throws continues to grow each week. I might be wrong, but I think we were up to 80 throws a day up to 30 yards, something like that. So that’s a pretty good number of throws. I might be a little off on that, but it’s in that range and it keeps growing in length and the number of throws keeps growing as well. No setbacks so far.
Roderick on Wilson's rehab: My only worry about him was just him trying to do too much, but so far he’s showing a lot of maturity. Just last night he told me that a few of the receivers were trying to get him out to throw and he said, “No I’ve hit my count today so I can’t throw any extra.” A year ago, he would have guys out there until 10 o’clock at night. He’s matured a lot and he understands that he needs to follow the plan and that the plan has been set up by people that know what they’re doing. Our training staff is really good and they’ve consulted with a couple of NFL teams and an MLB guy that rehabs pitchers, so the whole pitch count equation has been devised by some people that know what they’re doing.
Roderick on Baylor Romney: He’s a super athlete. I don’t want to overstate it, but he’s one of the better athletes in our program, just all-around. He’s a guy that could start for us at other positions, but he’s a good passer and he’s a smart guy. I really liked him as a quarterback in high school; he had a really good film. He’s a good thrower, super athlete, smart and tough kid. Just a super humble and hardworking guy, we love him. He has a chance to play here someday.
Roderick on the type of quarterbacks at BYU: You can see that we’re starting a theme here with these quarterbacks – Zach, Jaren and Baylor, I can’t mention names, but some of the guys we’re recruiting – they’re similar guys and they have similar attributes. We’re trying to build a pool of depth where our offense is what it is, and we can just plug in our quarterbacks and just go. That’s the idea.
Quarterback Zach Wilson on his shoulder recovery: It’s been on track and I’m expected to be 100 percent soon. I’m just still working it in recovery and hopefully it’ll be better than last year. I’m already pretty close now, but I’m just getting used to the feel of things and getting back into things. It’s a progressive thing, you have to let the cartilage heal back to the bone. Once I hit about four and a half months, I got a ball in my hands. I’m at about five months right now so it’s been about 17 or 18 days since I’ve been throwing a big ball and it comes back quick, that’s for sure. I think I’m already airing it about a bit and I’m getting close to being able to really stretch it out and getting ahold of my receivers and being able to throw the ball well and to get comfortable with it. It feels awkward at first, but it comes back quick with repetition.
Wilson on the continuity of having the same offensive staff and the same system: It’s a huge deal especially because we’re going to take it to another level. Like me and the rest of the players trying to take our physical and mental abilities and hit them in stride, the offense is doing the same thing – we’re trying to take what we learned in the last couple of games and hit it in stride and roll off of that. We know what worked well and we know what didn’t and we know what we want to take. We had a couple of different identities last year as an offense and I think we really know what we want to do now. This next year I think we’re going to do some really dangerous things.
Wilson on how being a sophomore will change his leadership from freshman year: I have to step up and take that leadership role and make sure that I can command the offense and lead by example and push the guys and make sure we’re getting things done this year. I think pushing that confidence on the other guys is a big deal. I think when the whole team has a lot of confidence and we believe in what we’re doing and what we’re trying to get done, we can really have a lot of success.
Running Backs
Running backs coach AJ Steward on the running back group: The running backs are more experienced now. We’re in the second year of this offense, we’re stronger than last year and guys are putting in a lot of extra work compared to last year. Sometimes when we bring a new system in it can be overwhelming, with everyone just trying to fend for themselves and learn the new offense. I think everything’s slowed down a lot for our guys. I think it’s going to benefit them and they’re going to be adding more layers to their game because they’re not simply just trying to remember the plays. They’re working on getting stronger and just owning our assignments. We’re not trying to just get by; we’re really trying to take pride in our assignments and adding a little bit more confidence to each and every rep.
Steward on Emmanuel Esukpa and Ty’Son Williams: Both of our transfers come from great families and stable households and you can tell that they were raised the right way. Both have Christian values so they really fit in to everything we believe in here at BYU. Then when you their watch film they’re no-brainers, they’re big, they’re strong and they’re fast and they make people miss. We were happy to acquire those guys and add them to what we already have here at BYU. They’re just two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly with what we’ve already founded here at BYU.
Running back Lopini Katoa on the role of the running backs: As running backs, we want to be able to run, catch and block, but we also want to be able to know more about different responsibilities on the field so that we can be on the field as much as we can. We want to be able to have two running backs on the field at once, so that no matter what play they call we can be ready for that. With the depth that we have right now I think we just want to be able to do more.
Katoa on his personal goals for this season: I just want to be reliable in every situation. I want to be reliable enough to be an every-down back and have enough endurance to go as many plays as I can. I feel like it’s a big thing to have Coach Steward trust me in every situation and every play.
Katoa on Emmanuel Esukpa and Ty’Son Williams: The transfers are hard workers; I’ve noticed that since they’ve been here. I’ve just been trying to help them get used to the plays and our system. It’s been an awesome opportunity to push each other to be better.
Running back Emmanuel Esukpa on transferring to BYU: It was a hard decision for me. I put so much blood, sweat and tears into Rice University. It was hard for me, but I had to do what is best for me. I came here because there are a lot of good things happening in this program. It’s been a smooth transition. I’ve been starting to work out and make some good friends with my teammates.
Esukpa on his play at running back: I’ve always been a power back. I’m really trying to be an all-around back. Someone that you can just throw in there and trust with anything. I feel like I have a lot of good football left in me. There is still a lot more for me to learn. I’m never going to be perfect, but I’m going to always try to be.
Wide Receivers
Offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes on expectations for the wide receiver group: I think we’ve got a really good stable of receivers. I felt like that position had probably the best performance during the spring. From day one to day 15 those guys showed up every day, worked really hard, and from top to bottom I feel like that group out-performed a lot of others. Our game is one that I think experience really matters, maybe even more so than in other sports. I think that’s certainly true on offense because there’s so much strategy involved in the game and knowledge makes such a big difference. I’m excited about them as a whole more than any particular player.
Wide receiver coach Fesi Sitake on the offense: Last year we had to build a playbook from the ground up. Now it’s built and we can put more time and energy into making plays better and simplifying things. I feel really optimistic going into this season and carrying some of that momentum from how we ended last year's season.
Sitake on an experienced wide receiver group: We’re really excited about all the experience coming back. Those guys have learned a lot about themselves, have bought in to this offense and found their comfort level that’s going to help them play at a higher level of confidence.
Sitake on his expectations for the wide receivers: I’m optimistic and hopeful that they will respond to the new challenges. When the ball comes your way, you’ve got to make your play. They know the offense now. Now, it’s not just know the play, it’s make the play and make the plays that no one expects you to make.
Wide receiver Micah Simon on the wide receivers having a chip on their shoulders: Every year you always have a chip on your shoulder that makes you want to go out there and play to the best of your ability and to play up to the potential that your group can have. I feel like we have a really good group and sometimes the moments haven’t always been there that we’ve showed it, but I feel like we have a great group and we’ve been pretty hard on ourselves and hard on each other to really play to our potential and especially to what our team needs us to be.
Simon on how the wide receiver group can improve: I feel like we can increase on big plays, we have a lot of guys in our room that can take a short catch and break it off for a longer run or even a touchdown. We have a lot of speed in our room and I feel like we can really stretch the defense out and make a lot of deep plays and deep catches and just bring a lot more excitement and fun times for the offense when we create those big plays and that will create a lot of energy for our team. That energy will carry on throughout the rest of the game.
Wide receiver Aleva Hifo on being versatile: I like being able to be utilized at different parts of the offense, whether it’s running, my one throw against Wisconsin, or whether it’s trying to have receiving yards, too. But hopefully this year, for me personally, I would like to receive more than I run.
Tight Ends
Head coach Kalani Sitake on Matt Bushman: Looking at his body and seeing the muscle he’s put on, I’m excited about him and his opportunity to play this year. He is always a big target for us, but I think he has upped his game a little more and will be a huge part of our offense.
Tight ends coach Steve Clark on spring ball: Spring ball was tough for us, because seven of the tight ends the year before spring were gone. I got to work with a lot of young guys that had never really played the position, but we missed the other guys. The younger players are eager to learn and don’t have any bad habits, so you have a clean slate to work with.
Clark on goals going into fall camp: The first goal is to get healthy. The second is to develop depth. I also want to have good attitudes. If we do that, we’re good. We have some really talented guys. We have the players to help the offense and the run game and the pass game. Hopefully it’s a big impact; it’s going to be mostly depending on keeping the guys healthy.
Clark on what he's looking forward to the most: Working with the healthy players. Seeing these guys that are so talented be able to be full strength and run full speed is what I look forward to most and dream about at night. Seeing them play at 100 percent.
Tight end Matt Bushman on the tight end group: I think we’re looking really good. Coach Clark always reminds us that we have the potential to be one of the top tight end groups in the country if we work for it prove it. Moroni is going to be a senior, I’ll be a junior, so we’ve had a lot of experience and that’s been really nice. We’re both just waiting for the opportunity to get on the field and show what we can do. But at the same time there’s younger guys, Hank is coming back from his knee injury and he’s excited, and then Kyle Griffitts and Darius McFarland, they’re in our room now, and it’s nice to have them. At the same time, there are a lot of tight ends coming off their missions so you never know if a freshman tight end will come in and take reps away from you or prove themselves; it pushes us to work as hard as we can in the offseason so that we can be on the field as much as we can.
Bushman on the tight end group's abilities: “I don’t know how you can measure the best tight end group in the country, but that's definitely something that with the variety of skills and experience that we have and the playmaking ability that we have, I think that we can compete with that tight end group like Iowa last year where Noah Fant and TJ Hockenson were two of the first-round tight ends. I think we have a chance if we stay healthy and work really hard, we can compare to tight end groups like that.
Offensive Line
Head coach Kalani Sitake on offensive line coach Eric Mateo’s transition to BYU: His transition has been awesome. He is a great fit for our program. I really enjoy getting to know him and, more than anything, I love the way he connects with his players. I feel like he has been here for a while. He has that type of effect on people. I love the way he recruits, and I love the way he works with his players. I look forward to seeing how good our offensive line can be. It will be a lot of fun.
Offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes on the battle to be in the starting lineup: There’s definitely a position battle at every spot, but a little bit more so on the offensive line for two reasons. One, we have guys there with experience and a couple of young guys who don’t have that experience but are talented, so we have numbers there and that’s a positive. Then the other reason is we have a new coach there so with a new coach I think there’s always more competition and for him to be able to inject his personality into that line, part of that is a “proving” mentality. I think we’re still in that spot with the offensive line and I think that’s a good thing.
Grimes on the offensive line's status: I think they’re moving in the right direction but I don’t think they’re there yet. They did some good things last year but I don’t think they performed in a way that I think a really good seasoned group can. The excuse of being young is removed now, so I expect them to play better, I expect them to be more physical, to be tougher and harder. If they are then our offense will succeed at a higher level.
Offensive line coach Eric Mateos on the mindset of the offensive line group: We have a lot of talented guys that have to come together as a unit, and we have to create a mob mentality a little bit of a group of people that want to wreak havoc on people. It's a very competitive room. We're going to have about 10 to 12 guys competing really heavy for jobs. It's going to be a very competitive training camp. I think we have a lot of talent. Where I think we have to get a lot better and disciplined and that comes with maturity and time."
Mateos on what makes a good offensive line: It's kind of hard to describe, but every great o-line has kind of their own little swag to them. They have their own sense of group; they think alike, they walk alike, they talk alike, and ultimately when they end up playing on game day, they work as one unit. I think that's the biggest priority for me moving forward.
Offensive lineman Tristen Hoge on competition among the offensive linemen: When we’re in the teaching aspect with these new players, it helps us become better. Having that competition, that edge, always vying for that spot…it always makes us be the best that we can be day in and day out.
Hoge on his personal improvement: There’s always things I’m working on. I like to work out twice a day; I have all the time in the world now that I’m graduated. I’m making myself better physically so I’m able to dominate this year.
Defensive Line
Head coach Kalani Sitake on Khyiris Tonga: I think he’s just like me. He can gain 20 and lose 20 [pounds] real quick. For him, he’s explosive, strong and powerful. I love the strength that he has in the weight room and how it shows on the field. I think him losing weight will allow him to be on the field more and that’s important to him. I’m really proud of the things that he’s done, so I’m excited to see what he can do.
Defensive coordinator and defensive line coach Ilaisa Tuiaki on Trajan Pili: Trajan is one of those guys that does not know how to do it wrong. Whatever he does, he does it the right way. I think because he's that type of player, it shows up in the way that he plays. He's very, very dependable, a great teammate, a competitor, hard worker, really all the things that you'd love to see in a player. Trajan's been that guy for us, really dependable.
Tuiaki on Khyiris Tonga: This is the first offseason he's had. A lot of people don't know that, but he came and played his first year a couple of weeks off his mission so he wasn't completely ready. He had to have back surgery after that first season, so he missed the second offseason. So this offseason is huge for him. He's done a really good job managing his weight, which for a guy that big can really get out of hand. If you talk to anybody on the team, the strength coaches, how big he is and how fast he moves just isn't right; he's just a freak. I think it's going to be huge for him this year, another special year.
Khyiris Tonga on the defensive line group: I think we just have a lot of strong guys up front. That’s the first thing you need to be is strong, especially when playing against offenses like Washington and Utah that have big offensive linemen. Being quick on our feet, having good hands and good feet and being able to hold our ground I think are some of the strengths our defensive linemen have.
Tonga on what he’s worked on in the offseason: I’m working hard to improve my hands and have a higher endurance. Our stamina has to be higher. This season I’ve been working out a lot, conditioning extra and dropping weight.
Defensive lineman Trajan Pili on the defensive line: As far as defensive linemen, we only lost one senior. We have a lot of returners and a lot of experience. Those guys have been in those big games and made big plays. When you have a lot of guys that are like that, we can all play off each other and push each other to become better.
Linebackers
Assistant head coach and linebackers coach Ed Lamb on the linebackers: We’re going to build it first with experienced guys, and those are Isaiah and Zayne. They’re really running the show right now. During the offseason by rule we have limited contact with our players within football context. The strength coaches are really heading things up as far as interaction. But those two guys have been meeting with the linebackers and running the practices. Then we’ve got a bunch of freshmen and sophomore guys who are just going to battle it out. I’m not even penciling guys in for first, second and third teams, that’s disrespectful to the game to not let them compete.
Linebacker Zayne Anderson on returning for his senior year after injury: It’s been a surreal feeling being back. It was weird last year not graduating with the guys I thought I was going out with, but everything happens for a reason. I’m back and I feel like having that experience of being a senior last year I feel like I put in more work this offseason because I know what it takes. It’s been hard having to come back but it’s been a blessing. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else and I’m happy to be with these guys and happy to be with BYU again.
Anderson on the identity of the linebacker group this season: I would say two words that define the linebackers as a whole are “young” and “talented.” The core of our line backers don’t have a lot of experience, but there’s a lot of talent there. Being able to watch from the sidelines gave me a lot of confidence in knowing that I can trust the guys behind me at defensive back, I can trust the other linebackers beside me and I can trust the guys in front of me on the defensive line.
Defensive Backs/Safeties
Safeties coach Preston Hadley on who to watch for: Last year I told you to watch out for Austin Lee, and all the media were doubting. And look what happened. This year, watch out for Malik Moore. Watch out for Malik, he’s the man. Great player, great speed, great size, great football IQ and a great teammate. Sawyer Powell, watch out for him, too, he had a great spring.
Hadley on Austin Lee: I think he is a fierce competitor. He prepares about, if not better, than anyone I’ve ever been around. Like you look at what Danny Sorenson is doing in the NFL right now, Danny prepares like a pro and he always has. Austin Lee does that. That dude was playing with a busted shoulder in the Utah State game, AC joint later on in the year, he was getting his knee drained the week of the Utah game, stuff people don’t hear about. The dude died for his team and he’s ready to do it again. He plays the game cause he loves it. He’s going to do some good stuff.
Cornerbacks coach Jernaro Gilford on what he's excited for in the secondary: Experience. We have a lot of guys coming back who were young when we first got here, and that’s kind of how it works, having guys start early so that by the time they’re seniors they can lead the younger ones coming in.
Gilford on bringing in junior college transfers: A lot of guys we have who are leaders are in the same class and we felt that we needed to kind of spread things out a little bit. We had some depth issues last year, especially during the last game of the season, so I felt that we needed a little more depth. I can never have enough solid guys to come into play; it will be a chance for them to come in and battle and also give the guys who are already here a chance to fight for their position. Nothing is going to come easy; it’s a competition every day.
Safety Austin Lee on the defense: I’m really excited. It’s been fun to see guys competing and getting better this offseason. There are some good young guys on the defensive side of the ball. I feel like a lot of players on the defensive side have been overlooked, but we have some big playmakers on this team.
Lee on playing safety: As a safety, you have to be able to do it all. It’s part of my game to make sure I’m unblockable, make open-field tackles, play man coverage and roam the backfield. The best part is being able to see everything going on and help others on the defense see the offense’s tendencies.
Tight end Matt Bushman on defensive back Dayan Ghanwoloku: When Dayan’s lined up pressed on you, he’s one of the most physical guys on the team. You’ll see him in the weight room, he’s lifting as much as lineman, then you see him on the field and he’s running just as fast as the fastest guy out there.
Dayan Ghanwoloku on how to improve the secondary: I feel like we just need to make more plays. We’re there, but it’s like a little off, we’re there but we’re not making those big plays. We’re batting down balls but they need to be picks. So just big plays because you never know when they’re going to come so when you have the opportunity you need to make the best of it.
Ghanwoloku on the depth in the secondary: It’s nice knowing that the next man up is going to be playing at that same level too or above that level. Just knowing it’s more competition too. Coach Hadley teaches us about competition – if you miss one play you’re out. He’s not going to hesitate like “oh you're a starter.” You're out and the next man is up. Keeps us all accountable and ready to go.
Ghanwoloku on the incoming players: We have confidence in them; they are all bought in too. Sometimes you get young guys who come in and they play like young guys, but I feel like our young guys that have come in have taken on our personality of competing so they’re not backing down from no one. Like at practice if you're a senior, they don’t care, they’re all ready to play and just waiting for the opportunity.
