Special teams coordinator Ed Lamb said after the scrimmage that freshman returned missionary Skyler Southam, the former prep All-American from Wasatch High, “is winning the job right now.”
Southam beat out last year’s place-kicker, senior Rhett Almond, who has mostly focused on winning the punting job in camp.
Southam said he has regained the strength, form and accuracy that made him a standout in high school.
“My accuracy has been good and I have been really consistent with my field goals,” he said. “Obviously, I still have a lot to work on, but I feel pretty good about things right now.
