BYU Football Releases Depth Chart Against San Diego State
BYU is 9-1 after a devastating loss to Coastal Carolina. This week, BYU will host San Diego State in the final home game of the 2020 season. The Cougars released their official depth chart for San Diego State on Monday:
Quarterback
- Zach Wilson
- Baylor Romney
No surprises here. Despite the loss to Coastal Carolina, Zach Wilson is having a special season for BYU.
Jaren Hall is no longer listed on the depth chart. Hall was ruled out for the season with a hip injury.
Running Back
- Tyler Allgeier
- Lopini Katoa
Tyler Allgeier has emerged as BYU's first-string running back. Allgeier ran very physically against Coastal Carolina on Saturday.
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
- Brayden Cosper
- Dax Milne
- Chris Jackson
Gunner Romney is listed as a starter this week, but I would be surprised to see Romney against San Diego State. Romney left the game in the fourth quarter against Coastal Carolina with what appeared to be a concussion.
Tight End
- Isaac Rex
- Carter Wheat
Isaac Rex has grown into a bigger role with each game - the future is very bright for the BYU tight ends.
