PROVO — About a month into his senior season last fall, BYU linebacker Zayne Anderson decided to step away from the football field.

He had spent last offseason switching positions from safety to flash linebacker, and adding weight to his frame. Then Anderson injured his shoulder in the season-opener against Arizona. He played through the injury, which included a key interception in the Cougars’ stunning win at Wisconsin.
