BYU football: Six sophomores who will have a big impact this season

Thomas Shoaf, OL

After being named a Freshman All-American a season ago, Shoaf will be the second-best lineman for the Cougars, behind Tejan Koroma. It seems like Shoaf will play left tackle, but regardless of where he lines up, he’ll be featured.

What does it mean for a lineman to be featured? The Cougars will run behind him.

But Shoaf is also a solid pass blocker. What he managed to do last season, when nothing was expected, is nothing short of spectacular. Now, with another year in the offense, expect another big year from the offensive tackle.
