MarsAlgernon Brown: "The offensive brain trust at BYU likes to play running backs that are 210+ pounds and that are adept at not only running the football, but at pass-blocking, lead-blocking and catching the football. Brown appears to fit this mold well..."
Jordan Black: "Black [6-7] excels at pass-blocking... and has almost a mean streak to him..."
Graham Rowley: "Rowley was very worthy of his four-star ranking from Scout, as he is a very athletic lineman with tremendous burst off of the ball. Itâs still unknown whether heâll be playing on the offensive or defensive side of the football, but he should be making an impact immediately at either position... Rowley seems to be custom-made athletically to play the end position in the type of 3-4 system BYU employs..."
Travis Tuiloma: "Tuiloma will arrive at BYU early from far-away Kansas, and will work to make an immediate impact at the nose tackle position. He dominated his competition in high school and was offered relatively early by Cougar coaches, as they identified him as someone who could be contributing early and often even as a true freshman... Tuiloma fits the mold of what a nose tackle has to be. He made a living in high school at taking on numerous (and almost exclusive) double- and triple-teams... History has shown that true freshmen can make an impact at the nose tackle position and even rise to starter status during their first season, more so than at any other position on the football field at BYU... Coach Kaufusi has made it widely known in each season that he likes to have three able bodies to rotate at nose tackle, and Tuiloma could easily be that third guy at the very least. Furthermore, Kaufusi has mentioned that he may look to play Manumaleuna at defensive end, which could very well open up even more opportunities for Tuiloma on the inside..."
Collin Keoshian: "Keoshian is about as big of a wildcard as anyone who signed as part of the 2010 class. With him having played eight-man football in a very small Southern California league, itâs almost impossible to gauge what type of impact he may have as a true freshman... What isnât impossible to gauge with Keoshian is his very apparent athletic upside... With more question marks surrounding the inside linebacker position than at any other position on the team entering fall camp, Keoshian could certainly rise to have an immediate impact at the position during his initial year... One area where he could make an immediate impact is on special teams, where his combination of speed and strength could make for an absolute demon on kick and punt coverage units..."
A.J. Moore: "In most years, Moore would be one of the highlight signees... Mooreâs biggest strength looks to be his ability to catch the football out of the backfield, which is essential if one wants to play in Coach Reynoldâs backfield. He also shows very good natural instincts in running the football, which makes one think of Curtis Brown when watching his highlights..."
Ross Apo: "Ross Apo is simply the freakish type of athlete that BYU seldom - if ever - gets at the wideout position. Athletically, heâs the very definition of what an ideal wide receiver should look like with his 6-foot-4-inch+ stature and his sub-4.5 speed. And unlike most recruits with self-reported sub-4.5 forty times, Apoâs time is legit... during his very brief practice stint this past spring it was very apparent that he has the goods to surpass every wideout option on the roster come fall... Apo is simply the most gifted receiver Iâve seen enter the program since Austin Collie in 2004, and it could be determined that Apo is even more gifted given his superior height... He arrived at BYU in January and should be ready to compete for a starring role immediately come the August practice session..."
