But the most decorated high school quarterback the state of Utah ever has produced can’t help but wonder what this weekend might have been like if he had stayed at Wisconsin in the spring of 2015 after graduating early from Sandy’s Jordan High.

“It would have been awesome. Everything has kind of come full circle in a weird way,” Kafentzis said Wednesday as his fourth college football team, BYU, readied itself to host the No. 10 Badgers at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Kafentzis is no longer a quarterback — he was moved to slot receiver then running back midway through training camp in August — but he did act as BYU’s scout team quarterback last week to help the Cougars’ defense prepare for Utah’s ultra-mobile Tyler Huntley.
