BYU football unofficially kicked off the 2024 preseason Monday with its now-annual media and corporate partners golf scramble at Cedar Hills Golf Club, where head coach Kalani Sitake, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick and others spent time with the media after playing 18 holes in the second year of the event.

The coaches talked about the on-going starting quarterback competition between Jake Retzlaff and Gerry Bohanon, the depth of the QB group with Utah State transfer McCae Hillstead joining the team, and low expectations after the 5-7 season in the Cougars' first year in the Big 12.

BYU assistant men's basketball coach John Linehan caught up with the KSL.com Cougar Beat podcast to talk about his arrival in Provo to join Kevin Young's staff at BYU, the defensive focus of the former NCAA all-time steals leader (and three-time French league defensive player of the year), and how often he has been confused with former BYU rugby star/punter Jonny Linehan.
