Excitement is building as former Brigham Young University football legends prepare to face off in the university's fourth annual alumni flag football game. Captained by Austin Collie and Reno Mahe, this year’s teams were drafted live on BYUtv, featuring a roster of 42 esteemed former Cougars set to compete on March 28th. This event brings together players spanning decades of Cougar football history, from Blaine Fowler, who joined BYU back in 1981, to Malik Moore, whose final collegiate season was just last year.
The lineup includes an impressive array of talent, with quarterbacks such as Blaine Fowler, Brandon Doman, Charlie Peterson, Steve Clements, and Jackson Brown ready to lead their respective teams. The competition promises thrilling moments as fans reminisce about past glories and eagerly anticipate new memories being made. With each team boasting its own unique blend of experience and skill, the stage is set for an unforgettable evening at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
This annual tradition not only celebrates the rich legacy of BYU football but also fosters camaraderie among former players and strengthens connections within the university community. Last year saw Team Royal secure their first-ever victory in dramatic fashion, defeating Team Navy by three points. Such nail-biting finishes underscore the competitive spirit that drives these alumni games year after year. As kickoff approaches at 6:00 p.m. MST, anticipation grows for another spectacular showcase of athleticism and sportsmanship broadcast exclusively on BYUtv.
