BYU football: Strong relationship built with Sitake leads to commitment of 4-star prospect Jacob Conover

CHANDLER, Ariz. — BYU coach Kalani Sitake is well-known for his ability to connect instantly and build strong relationships, and did as much with four-star quarterback Jacob Conover during a football camp almost two years ago.

Conover, who announced his decision to sign with BYU on Sunday, recalls the first meeting with the Cougar head coach well. He said the impression that was left was one of the big reasons he committed to BYU over other top programs.

"When we went to talk it wasn't really about football, and I loved that," Conover said of the meeting back in June 2016.
