BYU's special teams were truly special with this legacy 'gunner'

BYU is a team of "energy," on offense and defense, said linebacker Max Tooley, who totaled five stops and shared a tackle for loss.

BYU is a team of "energy," on offense and defense, said linebacker Max Tooley, who totaled five stops and shared a tackle for loss. But the surge of energy provided by the specialists like McKenzie can't be denied.

27 net yards on six touches. On defense, BYU has just one sack against two teams that were competing in the Western Athletic Conference last year. Brigham Young cornerback Marcus McKenzie and safety Crew Wakley celebrate an interception during an NCAA football game against the Southern Utah Thunderbirds at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023. BYU won the game 41-16. The Cougars are no stranger to unearthing a special teams "ace in the hole," from former punt returner James Dye to punters like Jonny Linehan and Rehkow,.

The next step for McKenzie, of course, will be contributing more at cornerback. The freshman had a career-high two tackles in Saturday's win, but he knows he sits on the depth chart behind a group that includes former FCS All-American Eddie Heckard, fellow Weber State transfer Kamden Garrett, and rising BYU star Jakob Robinson.
