BYU quarterback Zach Wilson continues to blow up nationally. Here’s how he did it

After enjoying a good chunk of the national college football spotlight the past two months, BYU’s No. 8-ranked football team is off the radar a bit this week because it doesn’t have a game on Friday or Saturday.

But star quarterback Zach Wilson continues to blow up.

The junior from Draper’s Corner Canyon High remains among the top five candidates for the Heisman Trophy, and is reportedly soaring up NFL draft boards, although he still hasn’t officially declared for next April’s Player Selection Meeting — the draft’s official name.

Wilson, the spunky, ever-grinning, headband-wearing, humor-loving QB, who famously took two BYU cheerleaders to his high school prom after having graduated four months prior, is living his best life.
