Happy James Empey/Tristen Hoge Day: 66 Days to Kickoff!
- Updated: June 21, 2017
The 2017 Countdown to Kickoff continues with 66 days until BYU’s season opener. 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 2017 roster. Since there is no #66 on the current BYU roster, today we’ll honor the two #66 newcomers who will be fighting over that distinction this fall.
Happy James Empey/Tristen Hoge Day!
