, likening it to the artificial bubble of “The Truman Show.” Now, on this Sunday, Slovis simply hoped to blend into the cast. begins spring practice in Provo tasked with leading the Cougars into the Big 12, all eyes are once again on him.Before understanding how Slovis will fit in with the Cougars, you have to understand how he got to Provo in the first place.
And that night, for the next four hours, Roderick and Slovis spoke the same football language. Roderick explained how BYU used a scheme like the one Slovis ran his first year at USC — when the freshman had 30 touchdowns and burst onto the college football scene.

Oregon State made a pitch after. Purdue, where Harrell wound up after USC, was on Slovis’ radar. Some schools offered more NIL dollars. But Slovis had his concerns about rebuilding programs or coordinators who were run heavy. This was a football decision first and foremost for Slovis. “Roderick called me the day before I committed and asked if money was a factor,” Slovis said. “I said no.”
