Chase Wester brings veteran BYU utility back with special-teams juice
Chase Wester is a depth-add, not a headline-grabber: he saw limited action at BYU as a runner in the 2020 season, but his background shows versatility, toughness, and special-teams value rather than pure backfield volume.[1][3][5] His bigger differentiator is experience—he has played multiple roles across his career, including receiving and kick-return work in previous stops, which can make him a useful fit for a staff that wants dependable, assignment-sound depth over flash.[7]
