BYU football video: Just who is Jake Oldroyd?

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jake Oldroyd can’t be considered an unknown around Provo anymore.

Rarely does a special teamer launch himself into folklore so quickly, but that was the case Saturday night when Oldroyd hit the game-winning 33-yard field goal for BYU against Arizona in the Cougars' 18-16 victory.

Just who is Oldroyd?

He's a true freshman who, according to his Twitter profile, announced Feb. 20 he would attend BYU and forgo preferred walk-on offers at Utah State and North Texas.

Not even four months ago, Oldroyd was still in high school, going to prom.
