Redshirt freshman Jaren Hall has emerged as frontrunner for backup QB job as BYU prepares for Saturday’s spring scrimmage at old Provo High field

Provo • It’s not the final spring practice, and it won’t be a game or even an 11-on-11 scrimmage the entire time. Heck, it won’t even be held at LaVell Edwards Stadium, which is being renovated.

But BYU’s “Spring Open Practice,” as the school is calling it, will still give fans an opportunity to see the football team up close and mingle with others who need a football fix five months before the season opener against Utah, coach Kalani Sitake said.

Saturday’s event at the BYU West Campus — the old Provo High property on University Avenue which the school purchased for $25 million in 2016 — begins at 10:30 a.
