Morning links: BYU QB commit Jacob Conover explains his mission decision; Taysom Hill expands offensive role for Saints

Chandler High (Arizona) quarterback Jacob Conover is a strong verbal commit and a four-star recruit for BYU in its 2019 recruiting class.

He has also committed to serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before starting his college career.

The Arizona Republic took an in-depth look at the decision football players like Conover or former BYU quarterback Max Hall — or even Conover's teammate linebacker Tate Romney, another BYU recruit — face in choosing faith over football and serving a church mission.

Conover admitted that his college decision was down to Arizona State, where senior Manny Wilkins is currently the starting quarterback, and BYU.
