Matt Bushman stands inside the weight room at Sabino High School in Tucson, Ariz. on Monday, Oct. 14, 2013. Bushman announced he will attend Brigham Young University for college.

The emerging name from BYU’s preseason football camp is Sabino grad Matt Bushman. After completing a two-year LDS mission in Santiago, Chile, Bushman is the likely starter at tight end in BYU’s opener against Portland State on Saturday. “You can tell there’s something special about him,” BYU coach Kalani Sitake told reporters last week.
