im not sure i'm familiar with that definition of the term.

are you saying "legacy kid" means a kid's left an athletic legacy at the school or something? As in he's remembered? If so, Reid and Empey aren't really legacy kids either. No one really brings up their achievements as players in casual conversation. Just another couple of names. And there's a post every few days here where someone asks who these kids dads are.

Also, "legacy kid" does mean something:

*Covey not a legacy kid. Otherwise we drew even with Detmer coming.

Covey's dad played at BYU. Am I misunderstanding what legacy means?

Was he a 4th string punter? Current Covey isn't Sean's son.

Stephen Covey Jr. is his dad I believe. Walk on, but was on the team.

That's stretching the 'legacy kid' term to the limit I'd say .. a walk-on WR ?

Did Reid commit to Stanford?

mulletino

No, but he will. Covey says he's not coming to Utah.

Interesting take - Poppinga and Jensen are also Bronco favorites

He seems a little bitter, but maybe he has earned the right to be.
