PROVO — As BYU opened fall camp Thursday, there were plenty of notable and noticeable changes.
For starters, the starting quarterback competition has already been whittled down from four QBs to three.
Junior Beau Hoge, who has been a candidate for the starting job, is now listed as a quarterback and as a running back. Thursday, Hoge was not wearing a green jersey like the other quarterbacks. Instead, he took reps during practice at running back.
The quarterback race is now between senior Tanner Mangum, sophomore Joe Critchlow and freshman Zach Wilson.
“We’re giving Beau some time at running back to see if he can help the team there,” said quarterbacks coach Aaron Roderick.
