PROVO — One of the standouts of BYU's open practice and 85-play scrimmage last Saturday was redshirt freshman running back Tyler Allgeier.

“I thought Tyler Allgeier did a great job,” said coach Kalani Sitake.

Allgeier showed good patience and vision as he gained 53 yards on seven carries and scored two touchdowns.

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound walk-on could make a significant impact on the Cougar ground game this fall.

His performance Saturday also showed how he’s improved from his most recent game — in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl last December.
