Bushman was expected to play this year in his final season with the BYU football program. But a ruptured Achilles injury suffered in practice on August 31st ended Bushman’s season prematurely. The star tight end led BYU in receiving yards the past three seasons joining Gordon Hudson and Dennis Pitta as the only tight ends in program history to accomplish such a feat.

Congrats to the couple on the new addition to their family!
