PROVO — While BYU lost three starting offensive linemen from last season's team, one of the newcomers to the O-line, redshirt sophomore Tristen Hoge, has an impressive resume and some experience at Notre Dame.
Hoge was a Parade All-American, a U.S. Army All-American and All-USA Today selection out of high school. Both Rivals and 247Sports ranked him as the No. 1 center nationally in the recruiting class of 2015.
In 2016, Hoge played in six games in a reserve role for the Fighting Irish. He was named Notre Dame’s offensive scout team player of the year as a freshman.
