Backup quarterback Jaren Hall shines, offense dominates BYU spring scrimmage at old Provo High

Provo • Presumptive starting quarterback Zach Wilson spent a lot of time standing on the sidelines and chatting with former BYU quarterback Max Hall during BYU’s open practice and scrimmage Saturday afternoon at the old Provo High football stadium.

Meanwhile, presumptive backup QB Jaren Hall — not related to Max Hall, but rather the son of former BYU standout running back Kalin Hall — showed that there just might be another quarterback derby at BYU this fall.

Hall, the redshirt freshman who also plays on BYU’s baseball team, played as impressively as could be imagined in the 85-play scrimmage in which coaches decided to let the quarterbacks be “live,” which means they could be tackled like everyone else.
