PROVO — BYU defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki confirmed to the media Tuesday that Riley Burt is now being coached by him, on the defensive side of the ball.
Burt is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound sophomore from Box Elder High, who saw brief playing time in 2015 at running back. Fans remember him fondly for ripping off a 41-yard run in a 38-24 win against Cincinnati. Burt's career totals, without that 41-yard run, are 13 carries for 45 yards. He redshirted and played on the scout team in 2016.
BYU's rushing attack was a point of concern in the Cougars' 27-0 loss to LSU.
