PROVO, Utah - Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program kicked off the second week of Fall camp on Monday. The media was permitted to view the last 15-20 minut
es of practice. As the team settled into the 11-on-11 portion, the rain started the Fall in Provo. Here is a recap of everything that happened during the media portion of the first day of Fall camp.The best play of the day was a deep play-action touchdown from Utah State transfer McCae Hillstead to true freshman Ty West. Hill hit West in stride who beat cornerback Kevin Doe in coverage.
Play of the day from media availability: Utah State transfer McCae Hillstead takes a shot off play action that hits true freshman Ty West in stride.Tyler West committed to BYU back in February as a PWO. As a senior in high school last season, West had over 1,300 receiving yards, 21 touchdowns, and he was also dynamic as a kick returner. West led the Crimson Cliffs to a 4A state championship last season.Siale Esera stood out in the 11-on-11 portion.
While the defense was assisted a little bit by the rain, neither Gerry Bohanon nor Jake Retzlaff was able to complete a pass against the defense. One Bohanon pass attempt was a quick out route that was nearly intercepted by Tre Alexander. His next attempt was a misfire intended for walk-on receiver Rowan Reay. It's important to note that a lot of wide receivers are rotating in and out, so a "misfire" could actually be a miscommunication with a new wide receiver.
Jake Retzlaff was under some consistent pressure by the defensive line. On one play, Retzlaff scrambled to his left and found Darius Lassiter. That pass was broken up by Mory Bamba. A few plays later, Retzlaff was on the move again when he attempted to throw to over the middle to Keelan Marion, but the throw was off target.Micah Harper
Of all the returning players on defense, Micah Harper looks like the quarterback of the defense. When Harper was the single-high safety, he was the one getting everyone lined up and diagnosing what the offense was doing. When a tight end was ineligible to catch a pass, for example, it was Harper that pointed it out. Harper has a command of the Jay Hill defense and his presence should elevate the performance of the defense overall.
