How does the BYU football team lose Blake Freeland, who set an NFL combine record with a mark of 37 inches in the vertical jump, run his first 40-yard dash in 4.99 seconds and his second in 4.96 seconds, then have offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick state that "Kingsley Suamataia is super athletic and in a lot of ways more (athletic) than Blake, in some instances". So we haven’t lost anything there.

Says offensive line coach Darrell Funk of his group: “I am confident that we will hit the ground running and have a great year.” Believe it or not, coaches say Cougars’ rebuilding offensive line will be better in 2023 Kingsley Suamataia, Connor Pay and Utah transfer Paul Maile will anchor BYU’s offensive line in its first year in Big 12 as per: I'd say that we are looking pretty good with our offensive line and hope to see a great offense this coming year in the Big 12. Of course, the competition can't get much better than what the Big 12 has to offer, but I guess that we will see.
