PROVO — BYU redshirt freshman offensive lineman James Empey knows he has a big void to fill.
Empey is expected start at center this season for the Cougars, replacing four-year starter Tejan Koroma.
“Tejan was awesome. He was great to learn from last year,” said the 6-foot-4, 290-pounder from American Fork High. “We’re all working really hard so we can replace everybody that left, and get the five best guys on the field and play our hardest.”
Last year, his position coach was his dad — former BYU offensive lineman Mike Empey.
