Kalani Sitake on his #BYU QBs after Day 1:

"They can throw. There were a lot of good throws today. You could tell that there is a competition going on. But guys weren't shy to throw the ball down the field."#BYUFootball #GoCougs pic.twitter.com/swAwMrAvjI

Jaren Hall on #BYU's QB competition:

"They're a group of studs. It's going to be a fun competition for the 15 practices we have each and every day. I'm just excited to be here with the guys that we have to push each other, get better, & just enjoy the game we love so much." pic.twitter.com/u8hbVXPsXA

Two legacy players along the OL to keep an eye on this season, Connor Pay & Brayden Keim.

Pay was excellent in the bowl game at center. Could be a starter at guard in 2021.

Keim, a former TE at Alta High continues to add weight. Intriguing prospect. #BYUFootball @kslsports pic.twitter.com/nPQppv04wF

Micah Harper was a standout as a true freshman last year. Get the feeling he's going to have an even bigger role at cornerback this season.#BYU #BYUFootball @kslsports pic.twitter.com/FkkEU3C4Kx

Nice TD pass from Jaren Hall to Talmage Gunther during Day 1 of spring practice.

Gunther was an MVP in fall camp on special teams last year. Working his way up in the program.#BYU @kslsports

Because typing it out wouldn't do it justice, here's @lopa54 discussing where he was physically before breaking his leg and how he is feeling now as Spring Ball begins. 👇#BYU | #GoCougs | #BYUFOOTBALL | #ESPN960 | @CriddleBenjamin | pic.twitter.com/YXLxqumfln

James Empey says that Connor Pay is the first guy that comes to mind when he thinks of teammates that have stepped up this offseason and look to be a major factor along the BYU offensive line. #BYU | #GoCougs | #BYUFOOTBALL | #ESPN960 | @CriddleBenjamin |

Kalani says there were a lot of great throws from the QBs today and that he could tell there was a competition going on. Says it was a clean practice as far as penalties and center-QB exchanges go. #BYU | #GoCougs | #BYUFOOTBALL | #ESPN960 | @CriddleBenjamin

Jaren Hall says his goal for the 2020 season - having to remain sidelined due to injury - was to remain involved and engaged with his teammates and to take mental reps as he worked his way back onto the field. #BYU | #GoCougs | #BYUFOOTBALL | #ESPN960 | @CriddleBenjamin

Jaren Hall says he stopped playing baseball in order to give himself a true offseason for his body to get adequate rest to recover from his latest injury.

On if he would ever pursue baseball again: "You never know."#BYU | #GoCougs | #BYUFOOTBALL | #ESPN960 | @CriddleBenjamin
