PROVO — Ed Lamb, safety coach turned linebacker mentor, believes the Cougars signed linebackers — one in particular — who could contribute right away. Because of depth at his spot, however, he may not be called upon right away.
Alex Miskela is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound athlete, who began his prep career at national powerhouse St. John Bosco before transferring to Los Alamitos High, where he played on the defensive line. He helped St. John win a state title in California in 2016. He was recruited by ASU, Utah, Cal and Washington State.
Gunner Romney and Miskela are a pair of freshmen who coud contribute right away, said the assistant head coach.
