Eye on the Y: Cougars close to landing a graduate-transfer from South Carolina, but competition for talented RB is fierce

After BYU’s spring football practice on Tuesday, offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes was asked if the coaching staff is still anticipating the addition of another running back before preseason practices begin in late July.

“I hope so,” Grimes said. “Still working on it. Recruiting never ends.”

That’s good news for Cougar fans, who look at the current group of running backs and wonder if there is a difference-maker among them. Trust me, folks are worried.

So here’s more good news, perhaps: Sources say that BYU’s chances of landing fifth-year graduate transfer Ty’Son Williams, a running back who has played at North Carolina and South Carolina, have improved considerably lately.
