Zac Seljaas came back from a broken foot in time for the season opener, but it’s his new look that’s caught people’s attention

Provo • As the team warmed up before the preseason exhibition game, fans were quick to notice a change in senior Zac Seljaas, who wasn’t playing and instead was dressed in gray sweatpants and sweatshirt. Better yet, they noticed a new look — one that included blond highlights and a mustache.

By the season opener against Cal State Fullerton, the Nicolas Cage comparisons — and memes — shared online reached a new high. The fact that Seljaas had managed to come back from a broken foot, and subsequent surgery, in less than three months was almost brushed under the mat as the BYU player’s drastic change continued to dominate conversations.
