BYU football: Predicting the Cougars’ offensive depth chart

Wide Receiver

Starters: Jonah Trinnaman, Akile Davis, Talon Shumway

Backups/In The Mix: Micah Simon, Aleva Hifo, Beau Tanner

There’s a lot to be excited about with this group, but there are also a number of question marks. Trinnaman has taken leaps forward over spring ball. Davis hasn’t had much game experience. Same for Shumway. Simon is an incredible athlete (he stands out) and Tanner made plays during spring camp. Hifo is coming off shoulder surgery.

But, if there’s one thing to take solace in, it’s this: These guys are making plays against a really talented defense. So if they’re practicing against top-notch defensive backs, it will make playing against them easier.
