BYU Special Teams

(Nate Edwards/BYU) New BYU special teams coordinator Kelly Poppinga looks on during a field goal attempt in spring practice.

The 2023 Football Season is just around the corner. With fall camp starting in just a couple of weeks let’s do some position previews for the BYU Football team. I will finish out the position previews with the Special Teams. The Kicking battle will be a big one for the Cougars. Last year the kicking game was a struggle and wasn’t consistent. So maybe the ones on roster this year can provide some game winning kicks.
