Provo • After several sleepless nights last December, 18-year-old quarterback Zach Wilson made the most important decision of his young life, and the most difficult telephone call.
The senior at Draper’s Corner Canyon High who was set to graduate in the next few weeks called Boise State coach Bryan Harsin and decommitted to the program he had pledged to sign with six months ago.
A little more than a week later, Wilson signed with BYU and said, “If you can play in front of your family, there’s nothing better than that.”
Wilson got the first two starts of his college career in the friendly confines of LaVell Edwards Stadium last month, defeating Hawaii and falling short against Northern Illinois.
