Kalani confirmed Wilstead is looking to transfer

— Brandon Gurney (@BrandonCGurney) March 12, 2018

Thought Kalani gave a good answer, when I asked him if attrition at the QB position was anticipated and inevitable

— Brandon Gurney (@BrandonCGurney) March 12, 2018

Talked about how he wants as many QBs as possible. Likes sorting things out on the practice field, not through allocation of schollies/number-crunching

Another of the 8 QBs who started BYU spring camp is out with a lower leg injury, walk on Hayden Griffits. Down to 6.

By the way @TomHolmoe is back at BYU, on the field after spring football practice.

He was in NYC with the NCAA basketball committee the last few days. Quick turnaround. #BYUSN

Byu was in shoulder pads and helmets today. Great one on one drills with offensive and defensive lineman.
OLine has some real promise. Kieffer Longson looks strong. Won his reps and can play G or OT.
James Empey looked good today and Tristen Hoge stoned Mo Langi at the line.

Corbin Kaufusi stood out today at the defensive end position. His hands are getting better. Much quicker and more aggressive with his strikes. BYU will rely on him to get pressure. I hope he can really improve on his pass rushers this year.

— Hans Olsen (@975Hans) March 12, 2018

Mo Langi has lost weight and looks better, but is still too slow to play D1 football.

— Hans Olsen (@975Hans) March 12, 2018

Merril Hoge was out watching his boy and nephew today. I still have many concerns about Beau at QB.
Health and decision making worries me.
Tristen is coming along well.

The #BYUfootball QB derby has dropped by one competitor. Kody Wilstead has requested, and been granted, his release to transfer according to #BYU head coach Kalani Sitake. Sitake wished him well and said Wilstead is looking to get on the field and play.

I asked QB Beau Hoge what BYU is calling the new offense being installed by new OC Jeff Grimes. "We refer to it as 'our offense,'" Hoge said. "Nothing else, really. It's just, 'our offense,' for now."

I was a little surprised with how much throwing Tanner Mangum (Achilles) did today in 7 on 7 stuff. I asked him if he will be fully healthy when fall camp rolls around. "Yeah, absolutely," he said. "I will be 100 percent by then, for sure."

— Jay Drew (@drewjay) March 12, 2018

Sitake said that Zach Wilson "is a little further ahead" than other freshmen QBs. "He has had some really good coaches in high school and had some really good mentors. His dad has always been there to help him, too. He understands the system and he is able to compete."

— Jay Drew (@drewjay) March 12, 2018

Sitake: “I just want a lot of QBs. I would just rather have too many than none. I am not just going to take 1 quarterback. If there is a great one, I am going to recruit him. I want the best players here, and if we hurt people’s feelings, then so be it. Just part of football."

— Jay Drew (@drewjay) March 12, 2018

Sitake on Kody Wilstead release: "He wants to get on field and play as soon as possible, and he is looking for a different place to do that. He has been a great support to us and a great teammate, so I wish him the best. But I will be there to help him out as much as possible.”

Got my first look today at BYU freshman QB Zach Wilson (I was in Las Vegas last week) in action and was duly impressed. He made a really nice throw to Rickey Shumway during 7 on 7. Joe Critchlow and Micah Simon connected on a big play, too.
