Appreciating BYU’s Star Running Back Tyler Allgeier

Whenever and wherever BYU plays their bowl game this month, it could be Tyler Allgeier’s final game in a Cougar uniform. And frankly, it should be. Allgeier has built up a resume most NFL teams crave in a running back, but their shelf-life is usually short. Allgeier should go make money for his family while he can.

That is quite a statement regarding a zero-star recruit who had no offers coming out of Kaiser High School in Fontana, California, the same town that yielded BYU’s all-time leading rusher in Jamaal Williams. Kaiser is less than 10 miles from Summit High, Williams’ alma mater.
