Normally I like to do a short story going into the featured player but this morning I am running late because of a service project, so without further to do, today’s player.
No. 40 Jeff Blanc – Running Back – 1973-1976
Jeff Blanc is often referred to as BYU Football’s first ever dual threat running back. Before Blanc, for BYU and for college football in general running backs were used to run the ball and receivers were used to run the ball and that was just how things were.
Blanc however changed all of that as a great runner and receiver having 3,500 yards between the two over his career.
