2022 BYU Fall Camp Roster Nuggets
On Thursday, BYU kicked off its 2022 Fall camp. As part of the first day of camp, BYU released its Fall camp roster. Below are some takeaways and nuggets from the Fall camp roster.
Who's missing?
A question that pops up every camp. There are a few scholarship players that are not listed on the roster. Those players are Chaz Ah You, Atunaisa Mahe, Javelle Brown, Quenton Rice, Logan Fano, and Donovan Hanna. However, all of those players were included in the offseason roster that BYU released for media days. Hobbs Nyberg and Justen Smith were also missing. Ah You was at practice, and Kalani said he isn't healthy enough to be practicing.
Fall camp rosters must be smaller than regular season rosters. Logan Fano, for example, suffered a season-ending knee injury during the Spring and will miss the 2022 season. For that reason, it doesn't make sense to have him take up a roster spot while he rehabs from injury. Once the semester starts and BYU can expand its roster to 123, expect most of these players to return to the roster.
Two newcomers are missing from the roster. JUCO transfer Lisala Tai and Mory Bamba. This isn't uncommon either - JUCO players have a few extra hurdles to clear before they can start camp. Cougs Daily has confirmed that Mory Bamba is still planning on enrolling and being part of the team this season.
Additionally, there are various returned missionaries who will join the program in January like Nukuluve Helu and Ace Kaufusi.
