Applied for BYU, and thus wasn’t rejected, but for some odd reason has a very irrational hated of all things BYU.

It really makes no sense to me

LDS ASU Fullback has had BYU Circled on his schedule

Cougs1 All-American

Meanwhile, ASU didn't offer me a football scholarship, so I've had them circled

Their MBA program offered me a scholarship, but I didn't want it.

I respect that. I like a good "revenge" game. So does Bronco.

I was just going to post that it seems like there are no LDS kids on ASU anymo…

Bronco didn't care enough about him to offer him a scholarship at Virginia...

Relevant if true.

9/16/21 11:32am

Of course it’s true. If you have an offer from Virginia, why would you walk on

travelcoug

9/16/21 11:37am

Apparently ASU didn't offer him a scholarship either. He walked on (link):

He must have a massive grudge against ASU as well.

_Dakoko

9/16/21 8:41am

If he really wanted to go to BYU, he could have walk on there just as well

NewMexiCoug

9/16/21 8:49am

To add a layer he probably didn’t get accepted to BYU so couldn’t walk on.

kotacoug

9/16/21 8:59am

It is more likely that he never applied, which is ok.

NewMexiCoug

9/16/21 9:05am

This just gets better and better. This is MJ level "and I took it personally"

Reminds me of the Spencer Larsen story. Announcers LOVED to talk about

Major whiff. Great player. Great guy.

His dad didn’t play football at BYU. Still hurts though.

Wow, he is the only player since 2003 to start on both offense and defense. He

This is literally the story of every LDS ASU fan. Not only athletes, but regular

So, yewt-fan lite?

valcorger

Yes. Living in Phoenix I come across these types of LDS ASU fans all the time.

There is one in my ward. I doubt he even

robin

It's why UVU is the biggest university in Utah (and growing)...

icecougar

9/16/21 10:31am

I can confirm this as fact. ASU fans are so bitter towards BYU but they won’t

Bleeding Blue

Not my experience at all

trueblueinarizona

Same story here in Vegas for LDS UNLV fans with a hyperbolic hatred of BYU.

BYUlv

9/16/21 11:28am

Same thing occurs with USU fans. It happened with my sister-in-law

Daedalus

I know several ASU fans who hate BYU. I never understood it.

fredetteaboutit13

We better really watch out for his blocks

NOCAL_YFAN

Makes me feel better about the game if their MVP is one of our cast offs!

LosAlcoug

9/16/21 8:44am

Sounds like a typical Bronco ‘try hard’ type that nobody else really wanted.

HiLife

9/16/21 9:00am

Bronco had the BYU game circled too, and his OSU team went on to win in Provo

The Chelsea Dagger

I immediately thought of Bronco. Maybe this kid is our future HC.

One of my pet peeves. Reminds me of a certain LDS OL at U of Arizona. He gave a

It’s about how they are treated. My kid has a couple JC offers and doesn’t yet

its entitlement mentality

palangi

9/16/21 9:54am

Some people go to JC because of grades, not just lack of offers

RenoCoug

9/16/21 11:43am

Absolutely! The point is, BYU did recruit him out of HS, but whether it be

NewMexiCoug

9/16/21 2:02pm

Hmmm..sounds like fake outrage. He got offered. Why didn't he accept and commit?

icecougar

9/16/21 9:45am

He's good though. Wish we had him

ratherberoping

9/16/21 10:02am

Why didn’t he go to Virginia and accept that scholarship rather than walk on at

travelcoug

9/16/21 10:08am

ESPN says he runs a 5.01 forty. I see why Bronco offered him at BYU but not UVa

icecougar

9/16/21 10:43am

Yeah, him along with a bunch of Utes

BluebloodOR

So he is admitting BYU is a better program than ASU.

It's unrequited love turned into resentment most likely.

So Coach Edwards' son is representing the Sun Devils at both games? 😉

andrewg3

He committed to SUU and then walked on at ASU - BYU never offered him.

I'd rather have Masen Wake.

With built bar will we be able to offer walkon schollies to guys like this?

And so OL is not so good that FB is more important to be named OMVP?

Holy smokes!!! We've been CIRCLED?

DirtyWater

Spurned by BYU, the LDS AZ guy goes to ASU and hates BYU? Many such cases 😂
