Provo • Regardless of how BYU’s starting quarterback competition turns out, freshman Zach Wilson has already proven through spring camp and eight or so preseason training camp practices to be an outstanding find for the coaching staff.
Wilson, who turns 19 this month, “has been everything we thought he would be when we recruited him,” quarterbacks coach Aaron Roderick said last week.
Teammates say it is evident that Wilson was raised to be a quarterback, from his mastery of fundamentals to his poise in the pocket, rocket arm and nifty footwork. He even handles the media like a seasoned veteran.
