My article prologues are running out as BYU continues its search for a starting caliber big man. The latest miss was Croatian Center Michael Ruzic, who went to LSU in a massive money deal.

They call him “Schmev.” BYU cornerback Evan Johnson returns to the team in 2026, after a very strong junior season.
