Jake Oldroyd has a leg up on BYU’s starting kicker competition

Provo • BYU kicker Jake Oldroyd made himself known to BYU fans when he kicked a game-winning 33-yard field goal against Arizona in 2016.

The returned missionary seems determined to make sure that kick isn’t his only big moment for the Cougars, especially since he is a little more prepared going into the 2019 season.

Back then, Oldroyd was such a last-minute addition to the travel roster he didn’t even have the proper BYU cleats, but kicked in his old high school cleats.

This time around, Oldroyd has the advantage of being with the Cougars since spring ball, so he not only has the right gear, but a lot of reps, too.
