PROVO — Jeff Grimes wants girth in BYU’s offensive line, so he’s challenged the tall and lanky to grow a little more sideways.
That’s the word from the former SEC offensive line expert at LSU and Auburn, the heart of college football’s guys-in-the-trenches animal farms.
Six months ago, Grimes shared with me the traits he most desired in a quarterback. First, competitive spirit. Second, accuracy. Third, toughness. Fourth, cerebral capacity.
When asked at BYU football media day how close BYU’s existing offensive linemen are to what he’s used to coaching and playing against at Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee and LSU, the native Texan explained his thoughts about desired body types.
