He Was THE NEXT GREAT BYU QB (What Happened to Jacob Conover?)

[@ScottFisherCFB]

Who should I cover next?

[@messagetous]

Matt Guteriz. University of Michigan 5 star.

[@Crussell04]

Andrew Maxwell former msu qb who was replaced by connor cook in 2013.

@@ScottFisherCFB Tom Holme love To hear his story

[@janson301]

BYU fan here, i have always been sad Jacob never found his footing here in Provo. i remember when he committed and i was very excited, i knew he wouldn’t play immediately but i was confident and eager for the next coming seasons that he would play and be very good. i really wish it worked out for him here, i wish him nothing but the best at Utah State🙏

[@tazplatyrl]

I remember the battle between Zach Wilson and Conover back in 2020 and no matter how good Conover was honestly the way Zach is able to light up an offense with his confidence and arm can get all 11 guys going 100%. Hopefully Zach can be a comeback quarterback and Conover can figure it out up at USU. Honestly though with the mess of an athletic department they have right now. He's going to be figuring it out on his own.

[@jonathonfloyd5757]

I was super excited when Jacob committed to BYU. He turned down some massive names to sign with us. He has good size and a big arm, but he could never quite figure out the offense and his throwing motion was always iffy.

[@smuggythornton]

Scott thanks for this in-depth stories I find them great reprieve from the sensationalist type of pod cast I find boring.

[@IEmulateGames]

I remember hearing so much about this guy when I lived in Surprise, Arizona. I was like an hour away and considered going to a few games. I was so glad that they never played the school I went to (Dysart)

[@fredparker1558]

Jacob is a great kid. Played with my son at the Poly Bowl in Hawaii and was easily the best QB there which included Taulia Tagovailoa and Gunner Cruz. Not sure what happened , but I hope that he succeeds because he is hard working, good kid.

[@nathanvandyke9951]

6:53 A little correction: Gunnar Romney was Conover's teammate at Chandler and BYU who played WR. Gunnar's cousin, Baylor Romney, played QB at BYU, but was never on a different team with Conover. You seemed to mix up the two Romney cousins a couple times.

[@d3thomp1]

Baylor is Gunner’s old brother not his cousin.

[@nathanvandyke9951]

@@d3thomp1 you're right, but he still kept mixing up the names.

[@bushibang]

@@nathanvandyke9951yup he mixed up the two brothers. He was never high school teammates with Baylor.

[@Josh1888USU]

He'll have his shot next year for sure and maybe even this year. It is a well staffed QB room and Petras really hasn't lived up to the hype. Barnes is probably the 2nd QB right now and the one that I would put in instead of Petras, but what do I know. Hopefully Petras can settle down, find the open targets, and start getting the ball out faster because it seems like this staff is going to be sticking with him through thick and thin. Admittedly though, he does have a good arm, and has shown that he can make some really good throws at times. We are currently at 1-5 but the really tough teams "should" be behind us. All of them (Petras, Barnes, Conover, and Tiller) likely came to USU to be coached by Blake Anderson and look how that panned out. We'll see how this year goes and if any of them will be here next year, we know Petras won't as his eligibility is done after this season. However, we all know that Barnes (Utah), Conover (BYU), and Tiller (Boise) all upgraded substantially to a better school and place to live :D. Unfortunately, they walked into a bit of a shit show on the Football team, but we are glad to have them.

Love these type of vids , seeing the adversity

[@defylogictech]

Hoping Conover finds his footing at Utah State. He has put in the work. He deserves a break...

[@apelle.18]

Mikey Keane is at Fresno State. He beat asu 29-0 last season

[@janwrobbins]

I played soccer my freshman year of college before going on a mission and had a bright future. Fast forward two years and I still played another two years in college after my mission, but I was noticeably worse. I have since left the Mormon church and has a bit of resentment towards the church for the insinuation that you will be "blessed" for going on a mission and should never put it off for something so "worldly" as sports. I wonder if Conover will have similar sentiments in the future (if not already).

[@SpenserErickson1996]

Oregon boy until he moved to arizona, I coached him in camps being a few years older.

[@GobbleFPS]

Not sure what happened but at ASU, we ran more skattebo and conyers at “QB” then we did conover.

[@Garrettjoe3467]

You should eventually do a video on Des Reid from Pitt if they keep winning

[@jordanhenderson9757]

I ish him the best. BYU fans often highlight his Bama offer. Little known fact that Bama offer was rescinded, and not because he seemed like a lock to go to BYU. If I understand correctly he was offered as a sophomore, and it was pulled as a JR.

[@cashfrybread4587]

Idk what went wrong. I thought he was going to be the next great QB at BYU. I hope he does well whatever he does next!

[@MountainDewComacho494]

Something we the fans never really see is how people do in practice.

[@williammoore1050]

Don’t stop making these vids

[@kr3wski]

Mikey Keene is Fresno states starting qb

[@roywall8169]

As important as serving a mission is to LDS members, it is the real world truth that missions are not conducive to becoming a great player. It is what it is. I will never criticize a young man for serving a mission, but there are consequences to making that important decision.

[@johndavis9321]

Jacob Conover mention‼️‼️ Go devils

[@PunkProfess0r]

Good content. Try taking a drink of water before your videos - the last thing I want to hear is sticky mouth sounds when I’m trying to learn about football. Easy fix though. Keep it up. 👍

[@righdowncharlie]

Perhaps he just never that good but I don’t think ARod did him any favors by throwing him games and not calling pass plays. But BYU for some strange reason has the worst luck with 4 star QBs.

[@brandonj.harris]

Keene is at Fresno State!!!!!!!!!

[@tannerdonovan4199]

Hey @ScottFisherCFB, Mormon is not correct, Jacob Conover is a Latter Day Saint, or a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

[@tazplatyrl]

Ya any time I hear Mormon it’s not a positive thing lol. I’ve been bullied plenty for being a “Mormon”

[@johndavis9321]

Aren't latter day saints and Mormons the same thing?

[@tannerdonovan4199]

Nope, Mormon was a prophet who lived around 400 AD in the americas, hence the Book of Mormon, if you call a Latter Day Saint a Mormon then you are incorrect

[@tazplatyrl]

@@johndavis9321 now don’t go crazy on me because this is just the first analogy I could think of and is nowhere near offensive but it’s like the n word or r word. It’s the same thing but kinda derogatory and we follow Jesus Christ and Mormon is simply the guy who gathered the records and compiled them. Super cool dude and he went through a lot to get the plates to where they needed to be but we don’t worship him at all.

[@johndavis9321]

@@tazplatyrl fair enough

[@Jace28142]

Conover reminds me of another QB we once had. Shows great promise but leaves the program for another school and then another school. Could it be Conover just doesn’t have what it takes to be the starting QB….of course this is just my observation.

[@knivesfriends5244]

Clearly he had it before. More likely he needed some tutoring to allow him to hit his potential

ARod happened to him. He’s a supposed QB whisperer but since Grimes left I’m not seeing it. In fact QBs seem to be avoiding BYU.

[@seangwill]

I wouldn't say Grimes is lighting the world on fire. Chances are he's going to be fired from Kansas, and that's after he was fired from Baylor.

[@royalcoug]

"Mission trip" ? Two years is not a "trip," so members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will refer to the experience as "a mission" or "a 2-year mission." Example ... Jacob Conover went on a mission."
