PROVO — When he spent a short stint as a quarterback for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans in 2014, Brad Sorensen met, and lived with, an LDS family in Franklin, Tennessee.

The high school-aged son was the quarterback on the football team. Sorensen watched the big, red-headed kid play and saw something special in him. The two had a lot in common and they struck up a friendship.

That QB, Joe Critchlow, is a BYU freshman who made his first start, and helped guide the Cougars to a win over UNLV, last Friday.
