PROVO, Utah – Now that the Fourth of July is in the rearview mirror, the countdown to BYU football fall camp heats up.
Kalani Sitake and his BYU squad report to camp at the end of this month. To get you ready for fall camp, the Cougar Tracks Podcast on Monday rolled out the first positional preview leading up to camp.
Every day on Cougar Tracks, I’ll be releasing a new episode previewing a different position in the BYU football program heading into Camp Kalani 2019.
In the first positional preview, I took an in-depth look at the interior defensive linemen along BYU’s defensive line. A position group that boasts a potential NFL Draft pick next year in Khyiris Tonga and a handful of players that are ready to make a significant leap forward in Lorenzo Fauatea and Bracken El-Bakri.
