BYU football: Coaches decide to double the number of team captains

PROVO — BYU coach Kalani Sitake has prepared for this coming season differently than before and that method continued with the selection of team captains.

Normally four captains are chosen by teammates, two from each side of the football, but Sitake opted to go with eight this season.

“I needed to have certain roles and responsibilities for each one of them and it exceeded more than just four guys,” Sitake said. “I thought it was good for us to have eight and for our players that voted, those are the eight that got the most number of votes.
