There will be more moves to come, but the arrival of Kedon Slovis is at least a foundational piece BYUfootball can start to build around in 2023. Here is what Slovis brings to the program.
Just look at his 2019 USC season: Slovis completed 83% of his throws from 10 yards and in, 64% from within 20 yards and 57% from 20-plus yards. It really doesn’t get much better than that.That 2019 season, Slovis was quietly in the same conversation as Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow as one of the more efficient deep-ball throwers in the country. He was making smart decisions too, with 10 touchdowns to just two interceptions when pushing the ball downfield.
Some of it is due to circumstance. In 2020, the COVID season, Slovis was coming off an injury and admitted his confidence wasn’t all the way there. In 2021, his last at USC, his receiving corps wasn’t as strong and he again dealt with some injuries. His accuracy — the one thing BYU’s passing attack absolutely requires — has regressed each season. Statistically, he is coming off his worst season: He completed just 58% of his throws in 2022. In particular, his deep-ball accuracy plummeted to 35.8% — good for 82nd in the country. Hall ranked 14th nationally in that category a year ago and churned out 13 touchdowns throwing deep.
And the most damaging argument to make is that maybe Slovis was the beneficiary of the extremely talented wide receiver room in 2019. Michael Pittman Jr., Amon-Ra St. Brown, Drake London and Tyler Vaughns were the leading receivers that year.That said, even if you take that freshman year out of the equation, he is a 63% career passer. It isn’t Hall’s level, but it is accurate. And in 2019, he still had to make the throws and he did.
