PROVO — They call him A-Rod, an affectionate nickname given through the years to Aaron Roderick, the man Kalani Sitake and Jeff Grimes chose to retool BYU’s passing game.
The name Roderick comes from the old High German Hrodrich (famous ruler), comprised of the word hruod (fame) and rik (king and ruler).
In A-Rod’s new job as BYU’s pass game coordinator, his initial edict will be a huge challenge. He needs to get to the end of fall practice and the opener at Arizona by picking three or four quarterbacks from among nine, and getting those guys productive reps all the while introducing a new design with a new offensive coordinator.
