Former BYU Football Coach Lavell Edwards participates in the taping of "Lavell Edwards and the BYU Quarterback Factory" for BYUtv during the 2013 BYU football media day on June 26, 2013 at the BYU Broadcast Building.

The passing of the legendary LaVell Edwards is almost half a year past, but the path he blazed remains active and his footprints are deep.

This will be the central theme of BYU’s annual football media day that kicks off on Friday at the Broadcast Building and studios of BYUtv.

“We’ll look at LaVell’s influence on a wide variety of coaches he influences both directly and indirectly,” according to Mikel Minor, senior coordinating producer of BYUtv sports and former producer at ESPN.
