BYU has added a wide receiver during this cycle. Stanford transfer Tiger Bachmeier announced his commitment to the Cougars on Saturday night. This came just hours after his brother, Bear Bachmeier, said he would be headed to Provo this year.
The two hoped to play together and got their wish at BYU. Tiger seems to be the replacement for Keelan Marion, who committed to Miami. Bachmeier led the Pac-12 among true freshmen with 409 receiving yards. He also contributed as a kick and punt returner.
If you break down the tape of Bachmeier’s play from Stanford, you’ll notice his ability to find open space and use his breakaway speed, He’ll be a primary target in the slot and wear down defenses by moving the ball down the field.
