BYU Adds a Pair of Walk-On Wide Receivers for 2011

By: Mitch Harper

The rich get richer.  And in this case that is the BYU Wide Receiver unit.  BYU has added a pair of walk-on wide receivers to its already deep and talented unit.

Jimmy Ralph a 5’9 171-pound WR/Quarterback from Raymond High School in Alberta, Canada.  Ralph grew up watching BYU Wide Receivers coach, Ben Cahoon when Cahoon was setting records in the CFL with the Montreal Alouettes.

Ralph “idolizes” Cahoon and is excited to play under him.  Cahoon has told Ralph that BYU will utilize him the same way as Cahoon was used with Montreal.

Ralph will be at BYU in 2011.  Then serve a mission.
