    why doesn't byu mine their rugby program?

    I keep reading about the back Utah got off their rugby program. BYU has a better program why don't they try and get a fullback or noseguard to try out? Couldn't hurt

    I think the Rugby team actually mines the football team.

      I remember a couple years back BYU was desperate for dline help and talked about someone walking-on but it never happened.

      It might just be like Ezekial Ansah or Kish Beverly, where pure athletic ability doesn't translate into football readiness, but I'd still like to see them get creative.

            Wasn't Sterns a football player first and rugby player second? Seems like he was a scholarship football player as a true freshman on.

              Stearns was kind of a hyped up recruit out of Oregon

                Blake Burdette is another Utah player with a rugby background. His career at Utah wasn't much, but his blocked punt against SDSU in 2004 was a pretty big play.
