Provo • Prior to the beginning of the season, BYU senior defender Zayne Anderson talked about how eager he was to get back into live action after his 2018 season was cut short with a shoulder injury.
So far he is making the most of his opportunities, just not where it was originally thought he would be.
Anderson, penciled in as the Cougars’ “flash” linebacker for 2018, is now listed as the starting free safety, leaving sophomore Chaz Ah You starting at linebacker.
Junior Isaiah Kaufusi is the only other veteran linebacker with much experience, but the coaches feel like they need Anderson’s speed more at safety than linebacker.
