I caught up with Jaylon to ask him about his commitment…
BYU insider: Why did you choose BYU?
Vickers: Because I saw it was a great fit for me for the next 3-4 years, not only as a football player but as a student. Having a BYU degree is something. I also love the coaches and the plan they have for me as a player. It’s just up to me to fulfill my part! BYU is close to home so my parents, family, and friends can come watch me play. Those are moments you love… to just look up and see those that care about you and love and support you there to watch you play football
BYU insider: What else would you like Cougarfans to know about you?
Vickers: That they are getting a winner and a guy that is going to compete and work his tail off every single day! You are going to get more than just a football player also, I want to inspire others and be the person people look up to on and off field. I can’t wait to get in that blue and white!
