Provo • Aaron Roderick has a message for Cougar fans who might be distressed over the fact that rising sophomore quarterback Zach Wilson won’t throw in spring camp next month after having offseason surgery on his throwing shoulder.
“It is going to cost him a little bit of work this spring, but it gives [other quarterbacks] a great chance to really improve as well,” the BYU passing game coodinator and QB coach said Wednesday after the team unveiled its 2019 football recruiting class. “I am not even worried about it.”
As was first reported by The Salt Lake Tribune on Monday, Wilson sustained the injury years ago while playing for Draper’s Corner Canyon High School and not this past season, when he started in seven games and 1,578 yards and 12 touchdowns.
