BYU true freshman quarterback Zach Wilson lived up to the expectations after winning the starting job midway through the season.

PROVO — Quarterback gurus John Beck, Riley Jensen and Dustin Smith made a trio of predictions this past summer about Zach Wilson that held true.

Beck, a former NFL and BYU quarterback, is a professional passing coach in Southern California and has spent most of this year consulting with Wilson in person and from a distance about his workouts, fundamentals and skill development.

Smith is the founder of QB Elite, a Utah-based football skill development outfit that involves camps and training with former NFL quarterbacks, including Ty Detmer, Kurt Warner and Mark Brunell.
