Happy Eldon Fortie Day: 40 Days to Kickoff!
- Updated: July 25, 2016
The 2016 Countdown to Kickoff continues with 40 days until BYU’s season opener in Arizona. Each day we highlight the player or two that wear that day’s number on their jerseys. If you check back each day, by the end of the summer you’ll know every player on BYU’s 2016 roster. Today we celebrate the second of five retired numbers at BYU, #40 in honor of Eldon “The Phantom” Fortie.
Happy Eldon Fortie Day!
