saddest case of what could have been in the program's history. I'll bet it was difficult for him as well to know what he was capable of doing on the field, but was prevented from it by injuries.

Luke, and it’s not really close.

Reasoning? Seemed wonder how others would do with Luke's o-line?

A healthy Luke was head and shoulders better.

Speed, power, size, catching ability

I agree he was the most talented, but he couldn’t stay on the fields save his

That's why I specified, Junior Year Luke Staley

Luke without a second thought

But he wasn’t healthy. You can’t play the what if game.

Ok, Doak Walker Trophy 2001. There's an accomplishment for you.

It really is unfortunate. He was an amazing talent.

Jamaal. He played against much tougher opponents than Luke ever did.

Plus he shared the backfield with Taysom.

I don't think there's a wrong choice between Jamaal and Luke. I'd take either before Harvey.

Harvey was amazing strength and speed/ shiftiness. Would have the record

Tough decision. Give me any of them... They were all very good by BYU standards

Assuming the injuries, off the field issues, etc all remained: H > L > J

Luke, no question

Luke Staley was incredible.

Heath Squashwell

Luke was great but the chance of him finishing a season would be nearly zero

HighHorse

Harvey was a threat for a good gain each play

Dan

I'd go with Jamaal. So consistent. Staley was amazing, but that was just one yr.

sportsbro

8/12/18 4:48pm

Love all. I'd go Luke, Unga & Williams. Jamaal is the only one to play 4 years.

Jamaal, Luke, Unga

To anyone who actually watched Luke Staley play, this is an easy question.

I watched Staley play and based on Jamaal’s sr year, I give him the edge
