Happy Sione Takitaki/Gavin Fowler/Corey Edwards Day: 16 Days to Kickoff!
- Updated: August 10, 2017
The 2017 Countdown to Kickoff continues with 16 days until BYU’s season opener against the Vikings of Portland State. 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 we missed Corey Edwards earlier in the countdown (Edwards will wear #30 this season after wearing #16 last year), we’ll honor him today as well.
Happy Sione Takitaki/Gavin Fowler/Corey Edwards Day!
