Provo • When he became an offensive consultant at BYU in 2017 and then the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2018, Aaron Roderick started to develop a blueprint for what he wanted in a Cougar quarterback.
Athleticism was at the top of the list, followed by decent size, above-average arm strength, running ability and poise in the pocket.
“We’re getting there,” Roderick said Wednesday night after the Cougars wrapped up their first practice of preseason training camp.
Of course, it all starts with Zach Wilson, who probably isn’t quite the 6-foot-3 that he’s listed at on the roster, but is as athletic as any QB that BYU has had not named Taysom Hill.
