BYU’s steady, battle-tested anchor at center
In the 2024 season, Connor Pay was the kind of offensive lineman coaches trust: a 6-foot-5, 315-pound veteran and team captain who had played 51 career games with 41 starts, bringing stability, communication, and nastiness to BYU’s front. He also played through a foot injury in 2024 that required surgery, which underlines his toughness and leadership. If you want a lineman who sets the tone, handles pressure, and elevates the room, Pay is exactly that guy—less flashy highlight reel, more trench commander.
