PROVO — BYU quarterback Zach Wilson grew up a Utah fan; that’s an established fact by now.
The true freshman who prepped at nearby Corner Canyon in Draper is the son of former Utah defensive lineman Mike Wilson, and his parents had tickets on the 50-yard line — often next to head coach Kyle Whittingham’s family — during his youth.
If there has ever been a Ute legacy product, it was Wilson. He went to all the camps, met all the coaches, hung out at all the alumni events — and cheered loud every time the Utes took down archrival BYU.
