BYU safety Talan Alfrey thought he was a step slow last year. Now, without Micah Harper, the Cougars need him healthy more than ever.
BYU lost starting strong safety Micah Harper to an ACL injury. Now, all eyes turn to the redshirt sophomore.
“I would like to think I was full go,” Alfrey said. “But I mean I probably had a slow step in me. At the moment, I was like, ‘I don’t care. I’m ready to go, let me play.’ So I was cleared and felt like I was good. Looking at the film, and comparing it to this year, I do feel like I am faster now.”When Alfrey started fall camp, the presumption was he would be a solid rotation piece in BYU’s secondary. Now with startinga heavy load will be put on the redshirt sophomore to step up.
He had 62 tackles and two forced fumbles. He was a top 100 player when it came to run support, according to PFF. In short, BYU did not have a true replacement for him on this roster. Outside of Alfrey, BYU does have other options Hill can try. Chika Ebunoha is going into his second season and brings a speed element to the secondary. He is still learning, but could help out in spots.
