Dax Milne: From BYU Walk-On to Making NFL Roster

It is amazing how the game of football can change someone’s life.

Dax Milne walked on to the BYU football team in 2018, after turning down a scholarship to play for the FCS program Weber State. He eventually earned a scholarship in Provo and became one of the top pass-catchers this side of the Rocky Mountains.

He caught his first career touchdown in the 2018 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl during the 49-18 pounding the Cougars served Western Michigan. After that, it was off to the races. He emerged again in 2019 against No. 24 USC, when he caught a key 30-yard touchdown to give BYU the lead in the second quarter.
