* I have seen Mangum described as a true frosh, which seems odd as he was HS class of 2012. One would think he would have taken a two year mission then be a RS Frosh. I don't know just what his story is, but he is not quite in the same category as the rest here.

Three years ago the age to begin a mission changed from 19 to 18, so players now go straight out of high school and defer enrollment (instead of redshirting for a year then going) until they get back and begin as true freshman. This was the year that the first batch of 20 year old returned missionaries were back in time to play football, and I'm glad I'm not the guy on BYU's staff who was supposed to figure out how to recruit around the fact that the missionaries from classes 2 and 3 years ago arrived back for the same year.
