TUCSON, Ariz. — A year ago, BYU tight end Matt Bushman had a homecoming of sorts when the season opener against Louisiana State was moved from Houston to New Orleans due to Hurricane Harvey.
Bushman grew up in New Orleans before moving to Tucson, Arizona, at the age of 9, after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005.
At Sabino High in Tucson, Bushman became a football and baseball star. Then he signed with the Cougars and serving a mission to Chile.
When BYU opens the 2018 season Saturday at Arizona, he’ll be returning to his other hometown of Tucson.
