Jaren Hall's moment has arrived. The Vikings say he's ready.

The Brigham Young University football team began its 2019 spring camp in the midst of a quarterback battle. Zach Wilson, the strong-armed sophomore who'd thrown 182 passes as a freshman, was trying to hold off Jaren Hall, the graceful 20-year-old redshirt freshman who was also the starting center fielder on the Cougars' baseball team.

The BYU coaches called for a competitive scrimmage that March 19: Wilson would quarterback one team, Hall would lead the other, and the scoreboard would show a winner and a loser at the end of it.

Hall threw a touchdown pass at the end of the scrimmage to beat Wilson's team, and then he was gone.
