Dick Harmon: Dick Harmon: BYU receiver Micah Simon's patient approach, refreshing attitude worth the wait

Brandon Judd, Deseret News

PROVO — Micah Simon’s style is refreshing.

Simon is one of those unknown, unsung, yet-to-be identified BYU receivers that head coach Kalani Sitake said people will know very soon, a stranger no more.

The Cougars recruited the Dallas native as an athlete. They experimented with him as a defensive back but his future is at receiver. He was in the mix a year ago before a decision was made to redshirt him while seniors Mitch Juergens, Colby Pearson and Nick Kurtz got their time.

These days, being a patient college player is not the norm.
