BYU quarterback Jaren Hall laughs with his teammates during baseball practice at the indoor facility on the BYU campus in Provo on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2019. Hall is set to play both baseball and football as BYU's latest dual-sport athlete.

PROVO — Freshman Jaren Hall isn't exactly trying to become BYU's version of Kyler Murray — but he’s traveling down a similar road.

Hall, who completed his first season as a backup quarterback last fall, recently joined the baseball team, becoming the Cougars' latest dual-sport athlete.

Hall made his baseball debut over the weekend — he went 0 for 4 with a run scored in two games, pinch-hitting in one contest and starting as an outfielder in another.
