SALT LAKE CITY – The countdown for Hans & Scotty’s 60 in 60 is on. Coming in at #42 is BYU’s Masen Wake (FB).
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).
“Big punishing fullback that can play the tight end position as well,” BYU head coach Kalani Sitake said of his fullback. “Loves to jump over receivers, even though he shouldn’t be doing that but if you know anything about me, I love my fullbacks.”
