Zach Wilson’s success and popularity are rising, but how far will it take him in 2020?

PROVO — Zach Wilson’s accuracy is off the charts.

And the BYU junior has sprinted into the national spotlight and conversation for Heisman Trophy consideration based on his work against three opponents.

But it is playing against those opponents, instead of an SEC or Pac-12 group of opponents, which makes Heisman talk more blue-goggled chatter than reality.

And that’s not a knock on Wilson.

There’s a certain unwritten matrix Heisman Trophy winners and candidates invited to New York for ceremonies must incorporate to be atop the list by a winning chunk of Heisman voters.

Wilson really needs more of those tangibles on his resume.
