PROVO — Had you asked anyone who follows the program which BYU offensive player would be the team's focal point prior to the 2018 season, tight end Matt Bushman likely would have been the overwhelming response.
And why wouldn't it be?
As a freshman in 2017, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Tucson native led the team in receptions (49) for 520 yards and three touchdowns, standing out and drawing a lot of defensive attention late in the year. Those stats were bound to improve his second year, in most people's mind, although several factors have caused Bushman's numbers to take a dip, along with his reps.
