perhaps he was the priority? Who knows, we know BYU is after both the Alana brothers and the Washington DE. We know BYU is after Calhoun, another DB I can’t recall and Gentry, an SUU OT and another OT from a smaller school I am forgetting.
BYU also only has like six or seven guys in the portal and is planning on trimming the roster to 85. So BYU only plans to add a few key guys.
