Guys— Caleb Etienne’s story is so awesome… just named Big XII first team LT

Dec 5, 11:22am

Incoming 4th straight drafted LT… Jatta, where you at brotha, you’re on deck!!

Dec 5, 11:24am

Just goes to show how important coaching is.

Dec 5, 11:24am

It's an absolute shame that Funk was not only given the job but allowed to stay

It is an indictment on the HC

Also the OC. Funk reported up to ARod.

If he had ability to hire and fire, I agree

Kalani and ARod both wanted Woods over Funk. Many reports they were told too

Ok so they were told we can’t afford this expensive guy so stick with guys who

They didn't. Funk let go 1st year there was a clear drop-off in performance

Funk had 3 LT drafted.

A-MEN! Coaches are so critical. And not just at making players perform better,

Dec 5, 2:50pm

So you're saying that Etienne's problems through the years have always been poor

I think he can make himself a lot of money on Sundays. Glad that the new OL coach seems to have helped Etienne

He was just so raw coming through the JUCO route, just needed a good coach and

Dec 5, 11:27am

He played at a JC in 2019 & Ok St in 2022 before playing at BYU in 2023 & 2024

It WAS deserved, but a lot of that opprobrium came due to bad coaching.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a player improve so much in a year

Dec 5, 11:26am

Did you not watch Isaac Wilson this year?

Durden

Dec 5, 11:34am

Man, how glad must he be that he didn’t play for OSU this year?

Darn near had exact polar opposites in his two teams - first and last place

Coach Woods should get a lot of credit, but Etienne put in the work to get his

I fully agree.

And Woods just picked up a bunch of great OL commits to work with yesterday...

Maybe they could call it Blind Side because he plays left tackle?!

Take note CB -Even players who struggle can improve immensely

So happy for him! Especially after all the heat he took on CB.

Loved seeing his progress this year

Dec 5, 8:22pm

what does his draft stock look like?

Sircumference

Dec 5, 12:09pm

As long as they don’t look at the tape from 2023

donnerstag

Dec 5, 12:26pm

I see it the opposite. If they look at '23 and '24 tape, they'll see how much

TheLoanArranger

Dec 5, 12:33pm

There was an effort issue in 2023 though

donnerstag

Dec 5, 12:48pm

Glad so many of us (me included) were proven wrong. Huge kudos to him

He improved so much. Never seen a player make that jump.

Totally love his story

Caleb, you proved everyone wrong — including everyone on this board.

Dec 5, 1:31pm

I would submit we were right about his on field play last year and he finally

Absolutely. It was the incredulous reaction to Coach Woods' interview when he

That is so crazy considering how bad he looked last season

Love your user name-- we called my 2nd son that for a while due to his "white guy with weak stomach!" haha

Nice work Arod recruiting him and getting woods on your staff … and especially nice work Caleb!

GoodBetterBestBYU

Dec 5, 6:23pm

Wasn’t Arod, it was Brayden Kearsley that got him here

Dec 5, 6:45pm

Nope, not engaging again with your logic circles. Connection does not equal signing

GoodBetterBestBYU

Dec 5, 8:14pm

lol, not engaging with a KSL article that states clearly that Kearsley's the one

Dec 5, 8:26pm

Connections are myriad, but ultimately evaluation, persuasion and signing are the domain of coaches.
