PROVO — Matt Bushman is expected to live up to a lofty standard as a BYU tight end, following names like Dennis Pitta, Andrew George, Jonny Harline, Itula Mili, Chad Lewis, Clay Brown and Gordon Hudson, to name a few.
But who’s going to be the next Matt Bushman?
I asked him.
The BYU senior was the first player the university trotted out for media availability this week as the Cougars kicked off fall football camp.
That speaks volumes on how he’s viewed by coaches, teammates and the public relations folks. He’s a veteran playmaker, leader, spokesman and kind of the epitome of what the program likes in a poster guy.
