Would CB consider Dallin Holker a BYU alum? I for one am rooting for him.

Was he the kid who did the Titanic king-of-the-world maneuver from the bench?

That was Dallin Leavitt

Sep 5, 6:50am

Ah. Thanks. Any reason I should care any more about this Dallin than that one?

LeftOfNormal

Sep 5, 6:52am

Nope. He and his dad were kind of divas when they left

trom2foot3

Sep 5, 6:54am

I mean they were, but rightfully so in hindsight

No. That was Dallin Leavitt.

Would he?

Is Puka a Washington alum? No. There is your answer.

Something in between yes and no.

Yes. After Bernard and Leavitt, we stopped excommunicating. Even for Hookers.

bruincoug

Sep 5, 6:54am

Hookers? Did I miss something?

thewaterboy

Sep 5, 6:55am

He got Craig James' attention

Wait, we don't excommunicate hookers?

2FarGone

Sep 5, 7:30am

Nope. Bring em back to church

The answer is no

No, no and no. Quit on your team mid season and don’t let the door hit you in the backside on the way out.

Indy Coug

This 'quit on his team' thing is overplayed. We don't hold Kingsley or Bagnah to the same standard

krindorr

Bagnah had two torn Menisci. He didn't quit.

spidercoug

Sep 5, 8:08am

You're talking his 2023 injury, correct? Not him leaving Boise St mid season in 2022

LDS Philanthropies certainly will when they’re trying to fundraise.

scootsy

He not only quit on his team

TheHop

Sep 5, 7:02am

I still think he made a big mistake quitting and leaving the team.

JuicyJam

Sep 5, 7:16am

I agree he made a big mistake but so did the coaches choosing Rex over Holker

I approve of this message.

Wise One

Sep 5, 9:02am

Would he be a pro if he had stayed at BYU? The answer is no, we didn't utilize

Magneto

Sep 5, 7:57am

Sure he would. He was an UDFA

JuicyJam

Sep 5, 8:03am

And what happened to Issac Rex the guy that was ahead of him? If he wouldn't of

Magneto

Sep 5, 8:09am

Rex got hurt badly and was never the same

cruiserhead

Sep 5, 8:15am

He was still the starter over Holker. Holker was a Mackey finalist at CSU. Plus

Magneto

Sep 5, 9:35am

Yeah disagree. He still played plenty and would have have the same measurables.

JuicyJam

Sep 5, 8:38am

Well you’re wrong. Going to CSU gave him a highlight reel something BYU coaching

Magneto

Sep 5, 4:12pm

Since he is Taysom’s backup at TE, no. I want all Taysom 24/7. No Holker.

DirtyWater

Sep 5, 8:01am

I didn't think about this. I'd normally say Taysom can't possibly play ever down, but is Taysom.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Sep 5, 10:38am

Yes. we 1) underutilized the TE position, and 2) played an inferior TE out of

Alum, alumni, etc. are generally inclusive of attended, but not graduated

I liked him. Heck of a player and he deserved to be on the field as a

MHOP

Sep 5, 12:41pm

RM and I am rooting for him. Not as a BYU alum. He changed that when transferrin

Big Daddy D

Definitely No.

If you attended BYU then you're an alum. BYU certainly treats you as one
