The headliner at the event is quarterback Zach Wilson, who will likely draw any quarterback-needy team despite the expectation that he will be the second passer off the board and likely a top-three pick. Wilson completed 73.5 percent of his passes for 3,692 yards with 33 touchdowns and three interceptions, leading the Cougars to an 11-1 finish that ended with a win over Central Florida in the Boca Raton Bowl.
NFL Network will present live coverage of BYU's pro day.
Wilson won't be the only participant. He will be joined by 13 of his teammates and six former Cougars. The list below is the pro-day lineup of the 14 draft-eligible players participating. Among them is defensive back Troy Warner, the brother of current 49ers All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner.
- DB Zayne Anderson
- TE Matt Bushman
- OL Brady Christensen
- DL Zac Dawe
- DL Bracken El-Bakri
- DB/LB Kavika Fonua
- OL Chandon Herring
- OL Tristen Hoge
- LB Isaiah Kaufusi
- WR Dax Milne
- DL Khyiris Tonga
- DB Troy Warner
- DB Chris Wilcox
- QB Zach Wilson
Troy Warner recorded 28 tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss, two interceptions, and two passes defensed through 10 games with the Cougars in 2020. Fred Warner also attended BYU, and San Francisco made him a third-round draft pick in 2018.
"I could talk all day on Troy. He's been having a great senior year over at BYU." said the 49ers linebacker during a November interview on 95.7 The Game. "He's the more talented brother in the family when it comes to football. I'm excited to see how he finishes out his season and obviously going to the next level. So the sky's the limit for him."
Watch Zach Wilson showcase his talents at BYU's Pro Day! 💪
