PROVO — The last time BYU junior cornerback Austin McChesney played in a football game, in November 2016, he recorded a 37-yard interception return in the first quarter of a Cougar victory at Cincinnati.
Later in the quarter, while defending on a kick return, McChesney suffered a season-ending knee injury.
He underwent surgery on the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and he endured the grueling rehab.
Then the first week of fall camp last August, McChesney blew out his other knee. Same injury. Same rehab. Another premature end to a season.
