PROVO, Utah – BYU Football took a day off from the practice field for team photo day on Wednesday afternoon at the Indoor Practice Facility.
As part of the event, players and coaches gathered for a team photo, shot by BYU's University Photo team outside on the practice field before going into the Indoor Practice Facility for a series of photos, interviews and other stations in prep for television broadcasts and marketing activities.
Stations included ESPN, FOX and other broadcast partner headshots and action photos, a digital signature capture, speciality TV photo and video shoots, bio updates, name pronunciation recordings, BYUtv interviews and media interviews.
