PROVO — Beau Tanner snagging a significant role for this season at BYU absolutely wasn't in the cards following spring practices.
Upset by the coach's insistence to move him over to the defensive side of the ball, the former wide receiver decided that was it for him at BYU. But after some deliberation, the 6-foot speedster opted to return to the team, get back to work and to help the team in any way possible.
Turns out the best help he can provide, as determined by coaches, is to play as the team's primary nickelback when the team opts to go with five defensive backs.
