That's what makes this saga so surreal. He had a great cover story that took years of time, effort and dedication to develop. How much blood, sweat, and tears went into his training and development to make this BYU team. He even paid his own way to ensure his positioning behind enemy lines.
Not until he was long gone, half way across the country in West Lafyette did his lie finally catch up with him. By that time the damage was done. He was an ASU asset all along planted and groomed for years by Dallin Leavitt before he was activated at the perfect moment.
An unreal journey that justifies a 30 for 30 docuseries.
