BYU has had some outstanding quarterbacks over the years, but Tanner Mangum is near the top of the list in terms of efficiency among freshmen in Cougar history.

That means quite a bit to him.

“More than anything, it’s humbling. It’s a very humbling experience. Ever since I was a kid I’ve dreamed of playing quarterback at BYU,” he said this week. “It’s been a dream of mine for a long time. Sometimes it feels surreal. It’s humbling to have this amazing privilege to play at a storied program and wear the ‘Y’ on my chest. It’s something pretty special. It’s something I’m trying to appreciate. It’s easy to get caught up in the grind. It’s hard work, but it’s fun.”

Mangum has set new freshman marks for completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns, wins, single-game completions and single-game passing.
