The BYU family is saddened by the loss of BYU Football Hall of Famer, Todd Christensen. Â Todd passed away today at the age of 57 due to complications with his surgery. Â Christensen had a liver disease.
Many folks nationally remember Christensen as a Tight End with the bold and provocative Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders that were one of the best squads in NFL history. Â At BYU, Christensen was a Fullback.
After football, Christensen made a name for himself in the broadcasting booth. Â Worked with NBC, ESPN, and The mtn. Â The mtn. had many downfalls as Cougar fans everywhere know, but Christensen and James Bates in the booth calling Mountain West football was fun. Â Who can forget the 2006, 2007, & 2009 BYU-Utah games? Â Christensen was part of those calls.
Always hate seeing members of the BYU family pass, especially at such a young age.  Todd’s son, Toby, played at BYU as a Wide Receiver and also did sideline work for mtn broadcasts.
RIP Todd. You will truly be missed.
