PROVO — Delayed action. Deferred status but not forgotten.
Arizona’s Chandler High quarterback Jacob Conover is generally considered the cornerstone of BYU’s 2019 recruiting class even if he signed in December and won’t be around for a while.
Conover accepted a call to serve his church and will not appear on BYU’s roster for two years. He just entered the Mission Training Center this past Tuesday en route to his area of service for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Asuncion, Paraguay. He will, however, be able to get sports updates from home weekly thanks to a new policy that allows texts and phone calls if he chooses.
