Former USC Trojan and Pittsburgh Panther quarterback Kedon Slovis has officially been named the starting signal caller at BYU for the upcoming season.
BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick announced the news last week.
“Kedon is our starter, and I want to make that clear,” said Roderick. “We put him in a position to earn that job, and he’s lived up to what we expected up to this point. So he’ll go into fall camp as our starting quarterback. And as long as he continues to do what I expect him to do, I expect he will be our starting quarterback in the first game.”
Max Hall, Riley Nelson, Taysom Hill, Tanner Mangum, Zach Wilson and Jaren Hall are the names who have come before Slovis in the past 15 years of BYU football. The Cougars, in their long and storied football history, have produced quarterbacks who have since become Heisman Trophy winners (Ty Detmer), Super Bowl champions (Jim McMahon and Steve Young), and important figures in the sport of football (Steve Sarkisian).
BYU is a quarterback factory. Slovis will add his name to that list this year as he tries to have a bounce-back senior season.
During Slovis’s four-year career in college football, he has passed for 9,973 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 33 interceptions and has completed 65.9% of his pass attempts.
Slovis will get his first start at BYU on September 2 versus Sam Houston State at home in Provo, Utah.
