Recruited to play quarterback for Brigham Young University as a four-star by Rivals.com, he would play almost the entirety of the 2015 season after starter Taysom Hill went down with an injury in the team's first game. He broke all of Eagle High School's quarterback records his senior year. In the Under Armour All-America Game, he unselfishly switched to the losing team after said team was down to just one quarterback, earning him a special recognition MVP.
