Does BYU sophomore quarterback Zach Wilson ever get tired of being asked about his shoulder? "I get it from a lot of people," the Cougar gunslinger said at Cougar football Media Day on Tuesday. "It's just expected though. It's just a long process. It's not something I don't think any quarterback wants to deal with. It just is what it is." The reality is Wilson is confident that he will be ready to go when fall camp rolls around at the end of July. "I think I will be 100 percent by then -- hopefully even before then," Wilson said. "I'm hoping a month before that I will be feeling good. I'm maybe 70 or 80 percent now but that's gone up. I've only been throwing a football since June 1, so to progress from being 10 or 15 percent 15 days ago, it has come back fast." He said that since he has been limited with his throwing, his focus has been on being more mentally prepared with at least two hours per day of film work.

"My mental preparation is a lot different this year," Wilson said. "Last year I wasn't watching tons of film at this time. That's what I need to do to take my mental game to the next step, especially if I can't do all this physical stuff. I've been watching NFL quarterbacks who I want to copy. I wanted to start now to make sure I'm ready in August." The sophomore said that with that work and his previous experience, he has set some pretty high goals for himself to be ready for 2019. "I expect myself to come back better than I was last year," Wilson said. "I go back and watch the film, and although there are positive plays I just find so much to learn from. I'll watch a touchdown pass and be like, oh my gosh, I could've done this so much better. That's the mindset you have to have. I expect myself to come back 100 percent and go in fall camp, then do the things I haven't done yet." - Daily Herald
