Congrats to a couple great Cougars.

what strikes me about that is the top -Indy player awards at the bottom of the article. It's nice to have the qb, couple of OL and WR on the list. But when was the last time BYU was noticed for Corners (hadley) and/or PR (falsalev)?



woah! are you kidding me? a BYU corner?



And of course KVN is there.

Well it helps that there are only a few independent teams. Not much competition. But either way it is great to have them recognized. I can't believe how great our cornerback situation is looking the next two years.
