McKay Jacobsen, 5-11, 192, So: The tonic that will make us all forget about Austin Collie. We hope. OK so it may not be so easy to forget probably the greatest receiver in the history of the program, but if anyone could do it that guy would be McKay Jacobsen. Before leaving on his mission to Sapporo Japan, Jacobsen gave BYU fans a lot to be excited about during his freshman campaign with Senior John Beck at the helm. This year Jacobsen returns with another Senior quarterback running the show in Max Hall. This bodes well for the sophomore who will be looking to get back in the flow of the game after missing the last two seasons and then missing spring ball with a hamstring injury. Jacobsen won't need to be the receiver that Collie was because Hall will have plethora of receivers to throw to. This Wide receiver core will be more reminiscent of the 2006 team than any other I can remember. The difference between this unit and the one in 2006 is that this unit has more talent. I think that Mckay's main job at the beginning of the season will be to open up the short underneath routs with his speed. He will definitely be the deep threat that Collie was last year. He is also faster than Collie per his teammates, he just doesn't have Collie's route running ability. I believe that come December he will join Dennis Pitta with a 1000 yd receiving season and a 1st team All-MWC Selection. Lets just hope that come Sunday morning MJ won't be just like tonic and we suddenly wake up longing for Collie.
