BYU has history with some stellar offensive linemen, but the past decade hasn’t exactly produced much NFL talent. In fact, BYU hasn’t had an offensive lineman drafted since 2005, when Scott Young was taken in the fifth round.
Under Kalani Sitake and offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes, however, the offensive line position is becoming a strength once again.
Two examples of Jeff Grimes’ impact along the O-Line are sophomores James Empey and Brady Christensen. Empey was a Utah signee prior to his mission, but came to BYU in 2017 to join his dad and former offensive line coach Mike Empey.
