In one corner is the incumbent, 6-foot sophomore Skyler Southam, the Wasatch High product who did all the place-kicking last season after returning from a church to Santiago, Chile. Southam was 11 of 16 on field goals, with a long of 47, and 42 of 44 on PAT attempts.
In the other corner is recently returned missionary Jake Oldroyd, the 6-1, 195-pound sophomore who also served in Chile (Osorno). The Texan already has a nickname — Jake the Make — because he famously made the game-winning 33-yard field goal to beat Arizona 18-16 in the 2016 opener.
Oldroyd was 3 of 4 on field goals his freshman season before getting injured the third game of the year, a 17-14 loss to UCLA, and giving way to Rhett Almond, who has graduated.
