  Draft Scout by Conference









  When the BYU football team released its first official depth chart on Monday, it shouldn't have been very surprising to see junior Zach Wilson's name as the starting quarterback. After all, he has played in 18 games in his career, far more than any other QB on the Cougar roster, and therefore was the odds-on favorite. But BYU offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes said on Monday's Coordinator's Corner show that Wilson's previous experience didn't come into play in the decision. "I would say the best thing is that he earned the job based on what he did in fall camp," Grimes said. "We didn't have to look at the larger sample size because he earned it in fall camp for a couple of reasons. No. 1, he is healthier than he has been, healthier than anytime last year. He is also further ahead in his mental game. He did a lot during the down time to increase his knowledge of the game. I was really impressed."

Wilson said in the BYU media teleconference that getting the nod over talented competition like Cougar sophomores Jaren Hall and Baylor Romney validates the effort he has put in. "It leaves doubt," Wilson said. "It shows your coaches and your teammates that you are willing to work for it. I think that is how every spot in football should be. You have to earn the right to play. Competition makes everyone better and I think that's what we got out of this whole process. The coaches want to play the best players they can and competition brings out the best player in everybody." - Daily Herald
