PROVO — BYU has been a challenge for junior offensive lineman Jacob Jimenez, both on and off the field of play, but he's largely met most of the challenges thrown his way and is on the cusp of receiving a starting assignment this coming season.
Jimenez signed with BYU as part of the 2015 class, which may be the last time he received any type of recognition prior to this year's practice sessions, and for reasons he largely had little to no control over.
First and foremost was starting center Tejan Koroma, who Jimenez and other played behind, but perhaps his biggest setback was an ACL injury sustained during the 2017 spring practice session.
