OREM — When BYUtv broadcast the Cougars' spring football scrimmage for the first time in late March, the network gained a lot of fans of the idea.
Count former BYU tight end Dennis Pitta among them.
Pitta, now an eighth-year NFL veteran with the Baltimore Ravens, had the chance to see the next potential tight end star at his alma mater, freshman Matt Bushman, on TV while watching from Arizona, his offseason home.
Bushman had six catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns in the scrimmage, including a 65-yard catch-and-run touchdown grab off a short pass from freshman quarterback Kody Wilstead.
