The College Football Season is getting closer. With 24 days left until BYU football kickoffs against South Florida let’s get to know some players on the roster for this upcoming season. This will give fans an idea of where these players have come from and what they could do for the cougars this season. I will do one every day there is a player with that number.
Ryan Rehkow

Also recruited by Stanford, Washington, Washington St, Oklahoma St, Colorado St, Nevada, and Idaho. Served his two-year mission in the United Kingdom.

Had an 83-yard punt against Arizona State this past season.
His older brother also played punter and kicker for Idaho. BYU offered Rehkow a scholarship to try and make sure he didn’t go anywhere else.
On fulfilling a childhood dream “We went to games all the time, and I’m just so grateful to kind of fulfill a childhood dream,” BYU’s Rehkow. “I’ve been aware of it for a while now. I knew about it last year. Even before my mission, like looking at the schedule, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’ll be able to come back home to Washington and play in front of family and friends and stuff.’
