a little college football segment. We're in the midst of
spring ball, so many conversations are occurring surrounding this BA
Cougar football team. Who's going to be stepping up as
wide receiver one? Will it be a bi committee approach?
What about them tight ends? Is this the dynamic duo
of the past a la atulameilely Chad Lewis? What about
Johnny Harlen and Dan Coach? What about Dennis Pitta and
Andrew George. Maybe Walker Lyons and Rogers Sally of PAGA
can just step up and be ballers for Brigham in
twenty twenty six in that tight end room, how is
the QB two battle going? All that and more We're
gonna discuss it in this segment here on your Utai,

all these springball commentaries and storylines. We got Braydon Day
of Odeon Men's Where, CEO of Odeon Mens Braidon. How
the heck are you, buddy?
Speaker 3: I'm doing awesome.
Speaker 1: How you guys doing doing fantastic? It's great to have
you on the show. Let's get into this man as
thus far, what have been the kind of the storylines,
the the the reports that you've been most intrigued by
coming out of springball.
Speaker 3: Well, one of the things I noticed you kind of
mentioned them in your intro was receiver wide receiver one.
I think what I'm hearing as of right now is
that JoJo's the guy to be there. I think that
makes sense. You know, he's the guy that was expected
to be a started last year. Is only one of
the one of the group that was expected to be
restarted last year. I think Bear mentioned him multiple times,
a Rod mentioned m multiple times, So I definitely think
that's who they're hoping. I think Jojo has a super
high ceiling. I don't think he's lived up to that ceiling.
I think sometimes he has the drop season. He has
some issues with that, But I think athletically, he is
what you look at look for like a stereotypical NFL receiver,
just his his you know, frame, the way he runs,
all those types of things. We just gotta ge him
to really be a really what's sort of aggressive at
the point of point of catch point. So that's one
of the things I'm really intrigued by with that. And
then also that tight end room. I'm pumped about it.
You heard him, You kind of see feel the the
excitement coming from both a Rod and from from Bear
and both their interviews of what that tight end room
can do this year.
Speaker 1: You mentioned jojo upside potential hasn't reached his, But he
hasn't reached that peak yet. Why is it? Why hasn't
he been able to reach that potential? We saw flashes
of it, We've seen flashes of it in the last
cup of years. Why do you believe that Jojo Phillips,
the converted basketball player, the big bodied athletic, great footwork,
Jojo Phillips could be the guy this year that Bear
is targeting consistently.
Speaker 3: I think, and again I don't know Jojo personally, and
I also don't want to make it seem like I'm
trying to dog on him because I'm not. I really
think he has a super high upside, but I think
you kind of mentioned it there, the fact that he's
a converted basketball player. He doesn't seem to me from
the outside look seem like he plays with a ton
of aggression like a football player, more like a basketball
player that's playing football. And I think that's the thing
that is missing from his game. He doesn't attack the ball.
He lets the ball come to him a lot of times,
and I think that's why he has some of the
drops he has. But I also he's not going and
making some of those big plays. I don't know if
that's happening in practice, but just in the game reps
that I'm seeing, that's what I feel like. It's a
lack of aggression.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to stay on this topic of wide
receiver one. Do you feel like there's an aw outside
shot that someone like Cody Hagen could get in there?
Because Cody played a lot last year, he wasn't targeted
maybe as much as as a lot of people wanted.
Do you feel like maybe Cody's being slept on in
all the conversation around wide receiver.
Speaker 3: Won I I do well, I don't know. Here's here's
my thought. Flin Cody I and I. Man, it sounds
like I'm hating on a receiver room today, But I
think Cody has like he's obviously super super fast. He
I think he runs really good routes. The thing that
bugs me too, Cody, is that anytime somebody breathes on him,
he falls. And so it just was at least that's
what it looks like from the outside. Again, maybe I'm
not not seeing stuff, but on both kick return and
yards after catch, I just feel like he didn't ever
produce anything after that. As soon as somebody got close
to him, he was down. And so but I think
in terms of getting open and running routes, he does
totally totally have the potential of being wide receiver one
and being a number one target there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh. I think the topic du joure throughout
fall camp or excuse me, springball and even into fall
camp is gonna be who's bear Backmeyer who threw for
three thousand yards last year? Who's it going to be
throwing the ball to? Who are his main targets? Look a,
Rod is really really good about game planning with all
of his his his skill positions, right, Like everyone's getting touches,
everyone's getting getting opportunity. There. You saw like Jojo Phillips
being highly targeted in the Stanford game. Up to that point,
other wide receivers Chase Parker, etcetera. Were getting looks. But
so I think there's gonna be a distribution of wealth,
no doubt. But I feel like everybody has their eyes
on the wide receivers and tight ends. Do you think
the tight ends that dynamic duo of Walker Lions and
Roger Salia Paga will become something of comparative nature to
some of the dynamic duos of the past. They have
the talent, there's no doubt. Do you think they have
the chemistry and potential productivity potential there? You know, with
that twelve personnel grouping.
Speaker 3: I think you're totally right. The potential is there. It's
a question of if it's going to happen. And obviously
it's one of those things like, well, if they haven't
been in the system, as long as there's a chemistry
going to be there. But also Barslaly' been in this
I mean obviously he's played thirteen games in the system
or fourteen games in the system. But I do think
that chemistry because he'd really never got it outside of
the season with the guys anyway.
Speaker 1: Last year.
Speaker 3: I think they're still starting in a not a bad
spot in terms of still forming that chemistry all through
spring well and through summer workouts and then through fall camps.
But I definitely think they can be and I really
think one of the things that a Rod has always been.
He was always criticized for this his tight end playing.
The last year, Carson Renald of a sudden became a
huge target for us, and it was like, oh, maybe
it's because we didn't have this talent at that tight
end spot. And I think you'll notice that maybe if
we are lacking a little bit on the receiver side.
I really think a Rod is so good at utilizing
the talent he has and we will see a dynamic
duo of those guys in twelve personnel. And I noticed
also that Bear twice or three times in his interview
he'd say those two and then he's say, actually, in
Kian need to he kept bringing up Kean. I don't
think he didn't even had a target this year, or
maybe one or two if he did. But yeah, that
surprised me. I know he came in a lot for
blocking situations, but maybe he can't get the ball and
get open. I don't know if that's just where, you know,
making sure he's keeping the room happy or what. But
he did mention a couple times in his interview.
Speaker 1: Braden tell us a little bit about Odeon Men's wear
for a moment, why people should go in for all
their missionary where church attire and business attire.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we are we specialize in men's wear that
looks good, feels good, so you can go and do
good in the in the situations that matter most when
you're wearing a suit and so our two biggest products,
the Elevate Suit and the Tempo Shirt, are shirt products
that look amazing. They have a you know, exactly what
you're expecting when you're looking for a nice white shirt
or a nice suit, but they have incredible stretch, incredible
comfort to them so that you can feel good and
feel confident, so that we really can go do those things.
I mean, we talked about it all the time on
this on the show, but it's one of those things
that you don't even I always say, it looks like
you're wearing a customs suit, but it feels like you
were in pajamas. It really is just an incredibly comfortable suit.
And I might throw a little hint out there. I
actually just got a softball team put together and we
may or may not be wearing elevate suits where we're
playing softball in the men's league softball.
Speaker 1: So oh bye, that is amazing. I need I need
viral videos of this. That is fantastic.
Speaker 3: That might need you to come join the team. Down
with me, kurtl that's oh.
Speaker 1: My gosh, I need to start working out swinging the
belt old bat again. And you know that. That's that
sounds like actually a pretty fun time. Maybe I'll show
up and and participate a little bit in my own
elevate suit. Are you what color we're going? We're going
with the gray.
Speaker 3: We're going with the medium blue. That's that's one. We
got the best inventory right now, so we're gonna go
with the medium blue and do that one is the
one we go. Everybody's gonna be in that one. We're
gonna put numbers on the back of them and everything.
Speaker 1: Dude, that is amazing. I love this.
Speaker 3: I just worked that with I made I called the
rec reck offices just to make sure that they're okay
with us having suits as jersey, and they all said
it was fine as long as we had numbers.
Speaker 1: On the back.
Speaker 3: So there we go.
Speaker 1: That is amazing. I love this so much. Let's get
back to some springball talk. Camp Killani twenty twenty six conversation. Uh,
this Cougar football team, the defense looks like, I mean,
I'll be honest, like it looks like it's gonna be
a top twenty five defense again, Like it's it's pretty
stacked right now. I think the defense is going to
dominate throughout springball. I think the offense is actually going
to struggle mightily in spring ball, and then they'll they'll
have to kind of bounce back through the offseason player
run practices, and then really get into a heated battle
come first two weeks of fall camp. If I say
that to you, you know, are you're concerned about the offense?
Are you more concerned about the offense there? If I
if I tell that to you, if I feel that way,
or are you just like no, the defense is legit,
too legit to quit.
Speaker 3: I think the defense is super legit, and I think
the offense will figure it out, and I think I
don't think it's gonna be as I mean, maybe you're
here in reports that that's already happening, and that totally
could be true. But I'm not too worried about the offense. Yes,
we lose two of our our studs, both you know,
good receivers, but that's really the only position we lose
much at, and so I'm not too worried about the
offense developing. But yes, the defense is going to be incredible,
and every spot they returned guys, I'm excited for the
guys they brought in to add to that depth. I
think even guys like Justin Kirkland who were here last
year that weren't playing healthy ever during the season last year,
are going to be huge pieces. So I think if
you can get if you can get Justin playing that
more of that double taking on double teams where you
maybe wasn't able to do that as much last year,
and then have Keano come off that, I think it's
going to make Keanu a lot better next year. So
that D line, I think it's going to be stout.
The defense is just going to be awesome. And by
the way, I wanted to give your give you your flowers.
Last week you were hinting at Danny Sorenson being on staff,
and here we go just a few days later that
we got that at it. I'm really pumped about that.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, give me a reaction as a fan, right,
do you look at like? Like I said, the biggest
question mark for me on the defense has been how
do you replace all the coaches? Right? Like, what's the
impact of replacing so many coaches in the secondary? We
retain the players, which is fantastic, But you have your
puppeteers right that are sitting there, and they're different to
Mario Warren coaching the safeties as the passing game coordinator,
Lewis Walker cornerbacks coach. You have obviously Wes Johnson, he's
the only holdover. He's the only guy that's retained. He's
the assistant cornerbacks coach. And then Danny is coaching up
the safeties along with to Mario. Probably from a technical standpoints,
he's giving core company. He's disseimitting core competencies and trainings
and footwork and eye control and aiding that in the
development of that room. Give me your overall eval of
these four guys and what you maybe expect from the
secondary coaches this season.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that safety room has got to
be one of the not overqualified, but just super qualified
rooms we've ever had. Having a guy that's spend a
D one head coach scslbeit, but a D one head
coach and an NFL's super you know, a guy that's
played in the league forever and never and never as
your two coaches in that safety room. I think that's
pretty awesome, and I think that's a that's a really
awesome coaching staff that you can have there. I think
the corners are two ones that I don't know either
one of them. Like I know obviously Wes is evans brother,
and I know that Lewis played under kilone and things
like that, but I just don't It's harder for me
to know how proven those guys are. But I think
that I trust that if Colonia trusted them, we're good.
But I do think that safety room is pretty stacked
in terms of coaching staff.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. We're talking Camp Kalani twenty twenty
six here on your Utah ESPN Radio Network, odeon Men's Where,
odeon Men'swear Dot com be're. Bochmeyer, by the way, is
fifteenth on ESPN's pre spring quarterback rankings for all sixty
eight powerful college football teams top fifteen, coming in at
number fifteen, too high, too low, or just right? We're
are a where are our expectations for Bear going into
year two? Is he? Is he a top fifteen quarterback
in college football?
Speaker 3: Are you expecting me to answer not? Blue goggled Ben,
That's the big question here.
Speaker 1: I always I always expect you to go blue goggled.
Speaker 3: No. I definitely think that's a good spot for him.
I think he's still got to prove himself. There's still
things that he can improve on. But I think as
much as I'm hearing in the interviews about how much
he didn't know the aufense last year, like I feel
like last year, they kept saying like, oh, no, you know,
he's comfortable in it. He knows that, he knows that
we're okay, we'll be able to run everything we need to.
And then they get into spring ball and they're like, oh,
well he didn't know anyither. We're putting all this hintstall,
we had no idea what we're doing last year. Like
that gives me even more confidence that it's going to
be even better this year. So I'm pumped about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's gonna be a it's gonna be an
awesome twenty twenty six. I think you know my question
marks still are QB two. Hey, is Trayson Bourget? QB
two is it Watson? Traycon has looked good so far
in spring ball slinging it. You know what I thought
was interesting too. We posted a little clip of Terrence Sarion,
a name not many people have discussed, number twenty three.
He looks fleet a foot, very quick, great change of direction,
has a body type that is akin to I would
say Parker Kingston. He's going to be most likely running
out of that slot. Could be a jet guy, has
some good speed and agility. Traycon Borgay chimed in your
QB two right now and says, real deal, are we
not talking enough about Terrence Sarion Brandon Day.
Speaker 3: I think that's probably true. Honestly, I kind of forgot
about him when we've been talking about like legend Glaster
kind of be in that PK mold. But I think
you're right. Terrence Serion is very similar in that same
mold too, and he had more offers coming out high
school and things like that. So I think that's a
good point. And I honestly haven't been talking about enough.
Speaker 1: Probably something else that someone kind of like tipped me
off to today. They said, you know what, if you
know Rogers Sally APAGA plays a Neil Powell type of role.
Remember Neil Neil like junior and senior year, big body
wide receiver, super just quick, you know, good, okay, top
end speed, right Like that's maybe his weakness. Yeah, that's
what I'm saying, Terrence Howe, big body wide receiver can
match up well with all manner of defenders. And I
just want to I was like looking at those kind
of looking over Neil's trajectory and the junior and senior year,
I mean six', four two. FIFTEEN i want to, Say
rogers a little bit bigger than him in around two
thirty or. So do you foresee kind of A And
i'm looking at his stats right, here forty six and
forty five receptions, respectively five twenty six and six oh
three in total, yards six touchdowns and four touchdowns in
the two. YEARS i would love to See Roger sally
OF paga maybe become that big wide, receiver flex tight and.
Speaker 3: TYPE i think that's that's a great point THAT i
think totally has some potential. THERE i haven't. SEEN i,
mean we didn't get very much film on him in At,
oregon so it's hard to see exactly what we'll. Do
BUT i think he could be that. Guy he's built very,
similar so that's. Intriguing i'm excited about.
Speaker 1: That last thing before we let you, go braydon give
me your you, know final. Pitch all The cougar fans
And cougar country that are in need of a suit
or some men's, wear church, attire missionary, attire or anything
that we need in that, regard why Choose?
Speaker 3: Odeon, well so especially it's the, product but it's also the.
Staff we train our, staff and we worked really hard
to make it so it's a non pressure, situation but
it's still something that you have salesmen that are, engaged they,
care and they're trying to do their best to make
sure they're taking care of you for the different. Things
and we have, suits we have, shirts we have all

Speaker 1: On the field FOR. Byu but right, now in.
Speaker 4: Terms of who you've got in that, room obviously we've
talked a lot About. JOJO i Think tiger's in. There Jared,
Pulah Legend GLASKER i think are all ahead of. Him
Cody hagens in. There it's just and we haven't even
gotten to Like Reggie frisknecht Or Kyler. Castle there's a
lot of good. PLAYERS i think that's my overall. Takeaway
there's a lot of. Potential there's a lot of talent
in that wide receiver. ROOM byu just needs to be
able to put it. Together And i'll say, this Coach
bestI satake has always put together good wide receiver rooms FOR.
Byu like we've been in this situation. Before but he's
put out players Like dax mil mc. Gunner romney had
the breakout year when we didn't really know what buy
you had in the wide receiver room, yep and then.
Speaker 1: He follows that up with The nikuas and then.
Speaker 4: It just every year you've got guys that come in
that you you don't know what you.
Speaker 1: Have, yeah and he's always put out a good.
Speaker 4: Product So i'm NOT i know there's a lot of
a lot of question marks around the wide receiver. Room
my overall takeaway Is i'm not worried about.
Speaker 1: It, yeah that's. Ap that was a great segment With
Odeon VINISWEAR Ceo Bradon. Day let's take a time out for.

Speaker 2: On it's good to be here with.
Speaker 8: You.
Speaker 1: Yeah always a, pleasure always a. Blessing talking some stats
here on Your UTAH Espn radio network right. Now the
stats OF byu basketball not too good twenty and ten
on the. Year they're on a bit of a spiral as,
well and they have not been able to win find
a way to win in key games down the stretch
of the back. Half of the, Season Iowa state great
win and that is a saving. Grace towards the end
of the, season they're going to THE NC Doublea, tournament
but the seting looks like it could get a little
bit sticky with like eight nine to ten. Seed Joe
lunardi said that what they've done thus far in the
season allows them permits them to get into THE Nc
DOUBLE A, tournament but they will not get if they
lose To Texas, tech our top ten team in the,
country they will not get appropriate they will not get great.
Seeding when you look at, it like if you much
of our, LIVES i say on this, show so much
of the happiness that we have pertains to the expectations
that we. Have what were your, Expectations, blaye when you
went into the season knowing, that, hey we've allocated a
lot of money to the. Squad we don't know the,
number you, know some people have prognosticated it's in that
ten to fifteen million dollar. Range we've allocated a lot
of resources to the coaching. Staff we got AN mba coaching.
Staff we herald it time and time. Again that's a
lot of. Resources we got great facilities and the expectations
were sky, high AND i don't know if they're going
to meet that. Bar your thoughts on expectations versus productivity
this season and how that maybe determines the happiness of
a fan, Base.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well i'm Sure i'm similar to MANY byu basketball.
FANS i had high. EXPECTATIONS i was drinking the koulid
quite a, bit thinking aspirations of potentially A final four,
bid hoping we could improve on last, year Maybe corrackt
The elite. Eight BUT i got to Admit i've tempered
these expectations quite a. Bit i'm a bit, concerned even
about The Big twelve. TOURNAMENT i thought we'd see a
lot after The cincinnati, game but seeing what we, Did
i'd be lying IF i SAID i wasn't a bit,
worried And i'd love to just see us get back
to The sweet sixteen like we did last.
Speaker 6: Year at this, point it'd be.
Speaker 1: Great just don't be a one and done in THE ncaa.
Tournament right to, me quota right now has. Changed it's
round of thirty. Two get to the round of thirty
two stat of the day if you overachieve and you
get to the sweet. Sixteen to, me that is a tremendous.
Season considering the season ending. Injuries we have so many of.
Them you list them off and it's just. Maddening Nate
pickens was the, first then it Was Dawson baker right
then it Was Brody, koslowski then it Was Xavian, staaten
and then finally the cherry on, top number five Was Richie. Saunders.
Five that's a key statu of a five season ending.
Injuries three of those guys most definitely starter rotational, players
with a fourth that was borderline rotational player in Proty.
Koslowski pretty. Devastating does that give a little bit of
grace to this coaching staff and this program that has
allocated so many resources this year to this roster and
this coaching. STAFF i think it does.
Speaker 8: Some but with the lineup that we have still With,
aj With Rob, wright some of.
Speaker 6: These other, guys.
Speaker 8: To, me it's still been a bit of a disappointment,
THOUGH i, MEAN i understand the, Injuries yes it, DOES
i think give a bit of an, Excuse but for me,
personally AS i think about, It i'd like to see
us doing better and still think we have lignup to
do better than we.
Speaker 1: Are let me ask you. This you're around a lot
of the big time donors there at B. Yu you've
been a part of the lives of the student athletes
for a. While now they're at B, yu uh interacting
with the the the the high rollers of the the
B yu. World when they see allocation of funds AT
I l et. Cetera you, know they have corporate, sponsorship et,
cetera all those, things and they don't meet the. Standard
maybe in the, expectation do donors retract a little? Bit
do you think the B yu donor base is going
to retract a little bit and, say, hey well we
learned our, lesson we got. Burned we're not gonna we
didn't get the r O. I you, know that's a
key acronym in the investing in wealth management, world was
the r O. I we didn't get the r O
i that we. Wanted do you think there's gonna be any?
Repercussion do you think THAT byu, fans corporate, sponsors, donors,
uh the collective uh uh contributors that they stay, loyal
strong and true and keep the.
Speaker 8: Faith, well you know you talk about, leeway and certainly
this of course is just from my perspective both personally
but also with some of my friends and people THAT
i know that have contributed to the. PROGRAM i would
say there is a little bit of leeway. Here and,
yes enthusiasm does pick up when we're winning and people
get a little more. Excited but this is my personal,
opinion the quality of our student athletes and the connections
that are made that does carry over and give us
some more, leeway especially when we have some constriction or
maybe some downtimes when it comes to. Wins so my
answer would be the quality of the student, athletes and
certainly the ones That i've interacted, with they buy some
time and some leeway because it's much more than just
wins and. Losses And i've seen that. Firsthand that's been my,
experience AND i think it does buy some.
Speaker 1: Time love. That let me bring raindle in. Here let
me start off with you for some financial awareness. STATS
a lot of people think once your tax. RETURN i
know we're talking about returns, here we're talking about return on.
Invests we're talking about tax mark planning here as. Well
tax return is, filed that's the end of the. Story
but you've SAID i believe that where the planning maybe
should begin give us some detail on.
Speaker 3: That, yeah for.
Speaker 7: SURE i mean people get concerned and rightfully, so about
getting their tax returns filed on time and getting their taxes.
Paid but once that's, done there should be particularly with you,
know with people that are that are bigger, investors have you,
know resources and more income, sources there should be some
tax advisory or some tax strategy that goes into figuring
taxes and figuring ways to defer income taxes or to
pay taxes in lower bracketed ranges rather than high bracketed.
Ranges at some point or at some, point it's difficult to, say,
hey you can you can mitigate your taxes by doing certain.
Things but there are certain things you can do to
reduce your tax, liability and to do, it you, know
within the the the realm of THE irs code and
making sure that you're compliant and doing everything in a legal.
Way but certainly there are strategies that you can identify
things that you can do to mitigate your tax liability
and if nothing, else defer tax liability to later. Years
it's always better to pay later than it is, now
and it's even better to defer and pay later in
lower brackets than you might be paying. Now so there
are certainly things that you can do to mitigate and
to strategize as it relates to your income.
Speaker 1: Taxes, yeah a lot of people just file. Taxes they'll you,
know they may file their own taxes and they may
be using A. Cpa what are the benefits of maybe
utilizing the specialty of A, cpa the experience of A
cpa rather than just you, know trying to save money
on the filing itself and doing it through any number
of software systems out. There would you, Say, YEAH.
Speaker 7: I think the benefits that you get in using a
QUALIFIED cpa or someone who specializes in tax strategy is
in the advisory services that you can. Get you, know as,
people particularly as they get close to retirement, age they're
looking for opportunities to defer their. Income they're in a
bigger tax bracket than maybe they've been in prior years
because their earnings are, up or they have more investment
income or business, income and so looking for opportunities to
mitigate your tax liability by using different, strategies by using advisory.
Services there's lots of different things that you can do
relative to having that goal or or accomplishing that. Goal so,
yeah certainly taxed advisory and tax strategy is key to.
Speaker 1: That Blaine Train Blaine, ANDERSON, nflpa certifyed financial, blender who
benefits from the type of analysis we're talking about and
having a specialist on your.
Speaker 8: SIDE i would say the people that can benefit most
are often successful, investors business, owners. Retirees in many.
Speaker 6: Cases these are accredits.
Speaker 8: And investors that have accumulated some, assets and many of them.
Speaker 6: Assume that everything's already been.
Speaker 8: Optimized but when we review their return or when we
find opportunities that they weren't aware, of things related to
invest in income or, distributions business, productions long term tax,
strategies these things really start to add. Up and it's
a pleasure joining today With.
Speaker 6: Randall him AND i have.
Speaker 8: Worked mutually together on multiple.
Speaker 6: Client, cases And i've seen many of the.
Speaker 8: Strategies he implements to help defer taxes or help to offset.

for those that are.

money out and using their retirement.

Report Tyler ow's year man looking to make some, here
and he's had a GREAT nfl career thus. Far he's
he's a, Baller there's no doubt about. It can Tyler
ow'sier BE rb one? Somewhere will he be AN rb
one somewhere in THE? Nfl i'm intrigued man to see
what happens With Tyler. Alsier i'm gonna give you some
key stats that make me believe that he can be that.
Guy that dude that is tote in the. Rock, okay
uh as a as AN rb, One, OKAY i believe.
This tyler As, here a former P wo at B
yu was working At, Walmart okay making his, dues was
LIKE rb, five Behind Tyson, Williams Emmanuel, Zupa Sione, finale
who else was ahead of?
Speaker 4: HIM i THOUGHT i thought he could be after That
Boise state.
Speaker 1: Game, yeah he was. Nice that was that was. Nice
you know WHAT i? Mean you look at that twenty
nineteen UH byu football roster and all the guys that
were ahead of, him and he, wonders, like, man how
why why Was tyler? BURIED i think Was jackson McChesney
also ahead of and we Love Jackson jackson fantastic football.
Player She's scott hurt so. Much, Well tyler did not
get moved to linebacker until later on that. Season he
was a running, back he. Was that's. Why that's Why
Ed lamb took him over To i'll give you let
me give you an anecdote real.
Speaker 4: Quick was only you know out always a running back or, YEAH.
Speaker 1: I ended Up, no never a. Linebacker he ended up
moving to defensive. Back, Okay so prior to prior to
like spring, BALL i ran Into Ed lamb and and he, said,
hey watch out for watch out For Tyler ow's. Year.
Okay and this was like before we brought In Tyson
williams And Emmanuel. Zoop but remember there was a we
got a new running back coach and you know and
and uh and and he was recruiting some. Guys they
brought in some. Guys they needed some dudes in the
running back room and maybe they didn't believe In. Tyler
so he's, like watch out for TYLER o. Year AND
i remember in that like in that spring ball and
like looking at, Everyone, look this was the running back
room in twenty. Nineteen you had L, Penicut Tyson, Williams,
Sooni Fenw, jackson, McChesney, Morgan, Piper lukendrada was, There Chase
west or. Anyway Tyler arje was like fifth. String SO
i gave you the guys that were essentially ahead Of,
tyler and that's why he moved a. Linebacker and like
in like his few games he like forced the, fumble
one more, recovery make leading the team in. Tackles he was.
Tremendous he was, Amazing he was, awesome and so it's
crazy to me he became an all time B yu.
Great we talked about The Steve young trajectory is LIKE
i was a ninth. String Tyler ale's year arguably has
a better story About like his trajectory is an all
time maybe the greatest running back IN byu. Football. HITSER i,
Mean jamal's up, There luke's up, there, Right you Got
Curtis brown that's up, There Jamal willis that's up. There
Harvey unga is up there, right like you got some dude.
There But Tyler lousier like has an, argument especially if
you combine THE nfl with the collegiate. Career, okay so
his his path to greatness arguably is just as good
or better than that Of Steve. Young's Remember Steve young
was told BY i think it may have Been Scolville,
dougay you'll never play quarterback for there's no left, e
no left. Eat you'll never play quarterback at B. YU i,
mean so your coach tells you, that and the coordinator
in the, quarteration it's like you'll never. Play tyler probably
had a similar conversation with his running back. Coach Luckily
harvey was there too, though and so When harvey got
the job for running backs coach and in replacing the
former running backs, coach, uh you, know he put he
Put tyler up into the depth charge the game at all.
TIME bau.
Speaker 4: Great steve had other offers where he would have started.
Quarterback he was actually pretty like he was a good
prospect coming out of high. School, TYLER i was your
was what two star like he's. Not he was not getting. Offers, no, no,
no he had no. Offers it was b why you were,
like it was only B. Yu it was it was
B wyu or nothing For tyler.
Speaker 1: And interestingly, enough, hey you know who recruited?
Speaker 4: Him it was It HARVEY.
Speaker 1: A Lice touiyaki is the one that went. Out it
was so no one wants to give no credit to my.
GUY e did it went out and did some group
did some. Work you know who Recruited Jamal williams and
who he gets credit, To Mark, webber Former bay offensive line.
Coach that's who got him to B. Yu there's always
a story behind the recruitment. Guys, Anyway so right now
we're looking at some key stats here on This intersider.
Report the all time leader for most career touches without a,
fumble It's Tyler algier with seven or thirty. Seven that's.
Crazy Pro Football. Focus second highest graded pass blocking running
back in twenty twenty, Five Tyler algier one thousand and
thirty five rushing yards on four point nine yards per
carry in his only season Without Bijon. Robinson that's the rookie.
Year that's a good freaking rookie. Year let's, say are
you kidding? Me it's not?
Speaker 4: Nuts tyler's gonna in free. Agency he's gonna he. Might
he's gonna have a few teams that are very, Interested,
like keep an eye out For seattle's losing their running.
Speaker 1: Back fifty one point six percent career success. Rate that's
the twelfth best mark among fifty six running backs since
two thousand and twenty. Two these are key. Stats where
Does Tyler alsier end? Up where does he need to end?
Up in your? Opinion Vick ram intrigued by. THIS i.
AM i Love.
Speaker 5: Tyler he's one of my, favorites all time, favorites and
it's because of how he got to where he.
Speaker 1: Is, humble BUT i see him In.
Speaker 5: DENVER i see him going in With Sean payton and
being the number one running back for The broncos and
really pull putting them over to get to the Super
bowl next.
Speaker 1: Year that's WHERE i have him.
Speaker 4: GOING i think he could look Like seattle's about to
lose their running. Back The chiefs are in the, market The,
Steelers he's gonna have a lot of.
Speaker 1: Options.
Speaker 4: Yep like he's gonna wherever he, goes he's going to
be a starter and he's going to.
Speaker 5: Overproduce he's gonna give him what they've never thought. BEFORE
i Think tyler is just the.
Speaker 1: Man, YEAH i don't. KNOW i don't. Know what the
contract is currently WITH. Jk dobbins over there In. Denver
