PROVO — Going into the 2018 season, BYU freshman wide receiver Gunner Romney, a four-star prospect from Chandler, Arizona, was expected to make an immediate impact on the Cougar offense.
However, he suffered a hamstring injury before fall camp began, which slowed down his progress. Then he re-aggravated it in the middle of the season, which limited his playing time again.
As BYU prepares to meet Western Michigan in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise on Dec. 21, Romney has caught 13 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns in nine games this season.
“I wasn’t really healthy until midway through the season,” Romney said.
