The Cougars gathered Saturday morning at LaVell Edwards Stadium for the second formal scrimmage of training camp.
PROVO — If BYU football is looking for another playmaker on defense, newcomer linebacker AJ Vongphachanh would like to present one of his teammates: Ben Bywater.
The Cougars gathered Saturday morning at LaVell Edwards Stadium for the second formal scrimmage of training camp in front of a few hundred Cougar Club members, family and friends, as well as the media for the final 20 minutes of action. Martin also took snaps on kick return alongside Parker Kingston and Keelan Marion, and Boise State transfer kicker Will Ferrin connected on 4-of-5 attempts during the media-viewing portion of practice, perhaps signaling a slight edge over freshmen Matthias Dunn and Jordan Kapisi in the ongoing placekicking battle.
"We just want to be a good, sound defense," said the Utah State transfer who had 101 tackles and two sacks a year ago for the Aggies. "At the end of the day, I'm new here and am just trying to do my job. But I think all the guys are bought in, and I think we could be really good." Replacing a player like Harper, the 5-foot-10, 195-pound "Harpoon" who was BYU's third-leading tackler a year ago with 62 stops, 2.5 tackles for loss and three pass breakups, won't be easy, Vongphachanh said."It's definitely tough, honestly, to lose a playmaker like that," Vongphachanh said. "But the guys have stepped up, and we're just trying to be the best we can without him.
