SALT LAKE CITY – The countdown for Hans & Scotty’s 60 in 60 is on. Coming in at #49 is BYU’s Keanu Hill (WR).
Throughout the summer Hans & Scotty are counting down the top 60 college football players in the state of Utah as voted on by the media (and a fan ballot).
“Keanu Hill, reciever, long body, big body, very physical, came on the scene with some injuries that we experienced at receiver last year but has all the ability to be a great one,” BYU head coach Kalani Sitake said of his wide receiver.
