BYU football: Why JUCO transfer Jacques Wilson is solid addition to Cougars’ well-stocked secondary

PROVO — Junior college transfers often carry high expectations in regard to providing immediate contributions, and BYU signee Jacques Wilson is no exception.

Wilson is a 5-foot-11, 170-pound cornerback from West Los Angeles College who will enter the Cougars’ program with two years of eligibility to contribute to a relatively deep cornerback group. In years past, junior college cornerbacks at BYU would be met with little competition for spots on the two-deep chart, but that won’t be this season.

Options to fill out the two-deep at cornerback include experienced players such as Chris Wilcox, DeAngelo Mandell, Isaiah Herron, Shamon Willis and converted linebacker Zayne Anderson, along with Keenan Ellis and Dmitri Gallow, among others.
