Freedom (sort of)

Players while expected to be at daily workouts with the team and to play and compete in 7-on-7 games/drills with the team, players are also allowed to leave to train with other athletes. Zach Wilson for example will be training with John Beck this summer. This will allow Wilson to have more specific training and learn under one of the best quarterbacks at BYU since the turn of the century.

For most players however, they will have a mandatory weight lifting session in the morning before going to the class for the day. After class they will meet up again and work on more specific drills/training that are non contact and relatively easy on the body. For the receivers and defensive backs they will play a lot of 7-on-7 that will work on formations and getting down timing. They aren’t running in pads and are at very low risk. Going back to the last section, these players while getting a bit stronger, are mainly just staying in shape so that once fall camp comes around they can begin to train hard again to peak at the right time.
