BYU football coaches selling opportunity to play as Signing Day approaches

Provo • College football recruiting is mostly about selling the school’s finer points to prospective players, but this month BYU’s coaches have also found themselves selling the chance to play right away.

BYU signed 14 recruits from the class of 2018 during the first-ever early signing period for college football last December. The traditional signing period begins Wednesday, and Lamb said BYU hopes to sign ‘between four and six” more high school stars.

It’s no secret that BYU’s biggest target among those prospects is Gunner Romney, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound receiver from Chandler, Ariz., who committed to the Cougars last July but did not sign in December.
