When Kyle Van Noy takes the field for New England in Sunday’s Super Bowl LIII, it’ll be the 60th appearance by a former BYU Football player in the sport’s biggest game. And that’s not even counting the eight coaching appearances from former Cougars.
For Van Noy it’s becoming a common occurence, as he’s now appeared in the last three. That’s the longest streak of consecutive Super Bowl appearances by a former Cougar and tied for the most overall appearances. Gordon Gravelle, Steve Young, Bart Oates, Chris Hoke, Brett Kiesel, and current BYU Athletic Director Tom Holmoe all have three appearances as players as well.
