Dick Harmon: Dick Harmon: The backstory of how two out-of-state recruits ended up signing with BYU

,

A pair of speed athletes, both track stars, will find themselves in a tug-of-war between BYU’s offensive and defensive coaches when they arrive on campus this summer.

On Wednesday’s letter of intent signing day, Tariq Buchanan from Texas and San Diego’s Keenan Ellis delivered their signatures.

“They are the only two guys in this group that can play either corner or receiver,” said offensive coordinator Ty Detmer. "Right now, Tariq will play receiver.”

BYU assistant head coach Ed Lamb said Ellis is a cornerback until further notice.

Unlike the majority of the recruits BYU signed Wednesday, Buchanan and Ellis will enroll for the 2017 season.
