Overview

• Sitake has refrained from naming a starter and is letting the QB battle play out, with McCae Hillstead, Treyson Bourguet and Bear Bachmeier splitting first-team reps.
• Early depth charts from EA Sports alongside analyst Hans Olsen lean toward Hillstead capturing the job in the first week of camp.
• True freshman Bear Bachmeier earned first-team reps in early practice, signaling Sitake’s pledge to let talent override tenure.
• BYU’s offense will lean heavily on LJ Martin’s durability and production with quarterback uncertainty in the lead-up to its bye week.
• Inexperienced wideouts and cornerbacks have come under closer evaluation in fall camp to fill roster gaps before the season begins.
