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. Today I will talk about the BYU Wide Receiver core and the Tight Ends will be in the next article.
BYU has some great experience at this position and they will lead the Cougars to many wins this season. There is also some younger talent that will need to be developed in the next couple of seasons as the upper classmen graduate and move on from BYU.

In 2020 he played in six games with five receptions for 47 yards. Epps didn’t play in 2021. Last season he played in eight games with 39 receptions for 459 yards and six touchdowns.
