BYU is losing the winningest quarterback in school history (Max Hall) and the most prolific pass-catching tight end in NCAA history (Dennis Pitta) to graduation after the Las Vegas Bowl two weeks from today.
Will the Cougars also lose the leading rusher in school history?
Just as Austin Collie did last year, junior running back Harvey Unga is seriously considering putting his name in June’s NFL draft. How serious is Unga about leaving a year early?
I asked BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall in the MWC coaches bowl teleconference this morning if he has talked to Unga about the decision.
Here’s Mendenhall’s response:
“The way we have handled that is coach [Robert] Anae visited with Harvey right after our game against Utah. We have given Harvey a number of people to talk to -- that he trusts, that we trust -- we think to give him the right advice.
So Harvey will take the time he needs. We have all the paperwork that needs to be submitted -- that doesn’t commit him to the draft, but allows it to be predicted as to where he will possibly fall in the draft, and where he might be selected.
So that is in the process as well.
But there isn’t any decision that has been made to this point, and probably won’t be until maybe after the holiday season.”
