PROVO — A big part of the BYU football program’s fortunes in 2019 hang on the surgically repaired shoulder of quarterback Zach Wilson.

So, naturally, there was plenty of attention on Wilson’s health during BYU Football Media Day Tuesday.

The 6-foot-3, 201-pound sophomore underwent surgery on his right throwing shoulder after the season and was sidelined for spring practices. But Wilson, who started throwing a football again on June 1, is optimistic about what the future holds.

“I expect myself to come back better than I was last year,” he said.
