The Cougars are preparing to face a Kansas team coming off a win over Iowa State, which was in the Top 25 rankings a week ago.
Connor Pay returns to the depth chart
BYU added injured center Connor Pay back to the depth chart.
The senior captain suffered an injury against Baylor on September 28, which has caused him to miss the last four games.
He is atop the center position this week.
BYU head coach Kalani Sitake noted on Monday that “it’s just going to be really close” if Pay returns to action this weekend.
Pay, who was no longer on a scooter during the Utah game, said on his personal Instagram account over the weekend, “Can’t wait to be back out there with my brothers next week!”
Right Tackle addition
BYU starting right tackle Brayden Keim suffered an injury against Utah last Saturday. The senior tackle remains atop the depth chart at right tackle because he hasn’t been ruled out for the season.
Sitake said on Monday, “We’ll see if he can be able to go this week. If not, then it’s got to be the next guy out.”
That next guy would appear to be Colorado transfer Isaiah Jatta.
Jatta has primarily been listed as the backup left tackle to Caleb Etienne this season. For the first time in 2024, Jatta slides into the backup right tackle spot on the depth chart.
Austin Leausa, the starter at right guard since October, is another option at right tackle.
Leausa got banged up against Utah, but Sitake said they “feel good” about the former Southern Utah transfer being available for Saturday.
