As the BYU Cougars commenced their 2025 spring football camp, several challenges have emerged, potentially hindering their preparations for the upcoming season. Here are ten critical issues impacting the team’s spring camp:1. Injury Concerns: Spring practices have seen a rise in injuries among key players. Notably, tight end Joe Tukuafu sustained a broken thumb, and defensive lineman Zac Dawe fractured a hand. Such injuries disrupt practice continuity and may affect player availability for the season. 2. Physical Practice Approach: Head coach Kalani Sitake has implemented a more physical practice regimen, including live tackling and increased contact drills. While aiming to enhance game readiness, this approach raises the risk of further injuries during practices.
