BYU Football Releases Depth Chart Against North Alabama
BYU is 8-0 for the first time since 2001 as they prepare for another game against North Alabama on Saturday. BYU released their official depth chart against North Alabama:
Quarterback
- Zach Wilson
- Baylor Romney
- Jaren Hall
No surprises here. Zach Wilson is having a special season for BYU. BYU officially launched Zach Wilson's Heisman campaign last weekend. That video is embedded atop this article.
Running Back
- Lopini Katoa OR Tyler Allgeier
The RB depth chart hasn't changed this season. Sione Finau has officially returned from injury, he is the third-string running back right now.
Fullback
- Masen Wake
- Kyle Griffitts
Masen Wake is quickly becoming a fan favorite at BYU. Wake has been relatively quiet the last few games.
Wide Receiver
- Neil Pau'u
- Kody Epps
- Gunner Romney
- Keanu Hill OR Brayden Cosper
- Dax Milne
- Chris Jackson
Gunner Romney and Dax Milne are forming a dynamic duo at wide receiver for BYU. When Boise State focused their coverage on Milne and Romney, Neil Pau'u stepped up with a few big catches in the first half.
Tight End
- Isaac Rex
- Carter Wheat OR Lane Lunt
Isaac Rex has grown into a bigger role with each game - the future is very bright for the BYU tight ends.
