Spring Football is usually a time to drink the blue Kool-aid, as most of the comments and observations are largely positive. With media observation being limited, this year is not much different. Nonetheless, good things are coming out of BYU’s spring practices.
Here is a tweet roundup of highlights from week 3 of BYU spring ball:

Tanner Mangum and the offense have shown improvement in year two of Ty Detmer’s offense:
I'm just leaving BYU spring ball media observation. The offense looked really good today and Tanner Mangum looks much improved.

BYU spring ball standouts today:
— Hans Olsen (@975Hans) March 13, 2017
Solomone Wolfgramm
Tanner Mangum
Akile Davis
Jacob Jiminez (took starting center reps) looked solid.
Things are starting to take shape at BYU. Trey Dye and Ula Tolutau have been the most consistent RBs. Shumway and Davis most consistent WRs.

Notes on the Tight End group:
BYU TEs coach Steve Clark said TE Troy Hinds recently had another hip surgery. Hinds not with team right now, football future in jeopardy.

Notes from #BYU spring practice. Moroni Laulu-Pututau said he initiated the change to TE from WR. Felt it would be beneficial for career.

Clark said that Utah State signee/transfer TE Joe Tukuafu probably won't be eligible to play this fall, but is having a great camp.

Walk-on Running Back KJ Hall has turned heads during spring camp:

Kalani is happy w/numbers at RB right now. He said that KJ Hall is still a walk-on, but he’s “high on list” for a scholarship. #BYU

Safeties have been performing well, particularly Texas Tech transfer Tanner Jacobson:
I expect Tanner Jacobson to have a real shot at starting free safety. Good speed, decent size, excellent work ethic and attitude.
