Listen Later

This week’s Y’s Guys sets the stage for the start of BYU Football Fall Camp, which kicks off tomorrow in Provo. Hosts Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler preview key storylines, including the ongoing quarterback battle between Treyson Bourguet, McCae Hillstead, and Bear Bachmeier, and highlight the impact of key newcomers like Reggie Frischknecht, Tiger Bachmeier, Andrew Gentry, and Keanu Tanuvasa. As the countdown to the season opener against Portland State (Aug. 30) begins, the show dives deep into positional battles and practice expectations with expert insight.


Former BYU linebacker and current BYUtv football analyst David Nixon joins the show with his Top 5 storylines heading into camp, including the QBs, defensive improvements, and expectations for BYU's dominant defense—which led the Big 12 in multiple categories last season. He also gives an injury update on brother-in-law Taysom Hill, who enters Saints camp on the PUP list but remains on the verge of an NFL milestone: becoming the only player in Super Bowl era history with 1,000+ yards passing, rushing, and receiving.


The show also welcomes back Jen Rockwood, head coach of BYU Women’s Soccer, who kicks off her 31st season. She plays a game of "Which stat are you most proud of?" while reflecting on 464 career wins, 25 NCAA appearances, and the rise of her program as a national contender. She previews this year’s squad ahead of the Blue-White game and a loaded non-conference slate that includes UCLA, Auburn, and Arkansas.


Beyond football and soccer, the episode covers Cougars in the NFL as training camps open across the league. Updates include Fred Warner, Puka Nacua, Zach Wilson, Kingsley Suamataia, and others. On the basketball front, the show introduces new recruit Aleksej Kostić, recaps Egor Demin's Summer League run, and reports on Dean Rueckert’s official visit. Also noted: Travis Hansen has been named BYU’s Senior Associate AD overseeing NIL and revenue sharing, joining Kalani Sitake, Diljeet Taylor, and Chad Lewis in the university’s growing leadership team.
