Lisa Wilson, a diehard University of Utah football fan her entire life, was annoyed, then angry, then a little bit terrified.
The mother of six walked into her Draper home last December and learned that her husband Mike, a defensive tackle on Utah’s football teams from 1992-95 under head coach Ron McBride, had just talked to BYU head coach Kalani Sitake.
Mike told Lisa the Cougars were wondering if their son, standout Corner Canyon senior quarterback Zach Wilson, was interested in making a recruiting visit to BYU. The school had just hired offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes, and he was intrigued by Zach’s film, although Zach had committed to Boise State in June and had stuck with the Broncos despite getting nearly 20 other offers from around the country.
