Judging by his tweets, this may be the case. He seemed very depressed. I am not sure if that is because of BYU environment or personal issues.

It seemed more personal than environmental to me.

Yea... Blair was actually fitting the BYU environment very well. He lost quite bit of weight and that put him away from his position. The precious coaches were not caring him much either...

Former BYU center moving to tight end

Rodriguez and the Wildcats have gotten creative with their newest tight end.

Former BYU center Blair Tushaus is on Arizona’s roster as a tight end, and will help provide some depth at a thin position.

Tushaus, an invited walk-on, spent four seasons at BYU and received his degree. As a result, he can play this season for Arizona and doesn’t have to sit out.

Tushaus played 15 games over the 2011 and 2012 seasons at center for the Cougars. He was listed on BYU’s roster at 6-2, 270, but has trimmed down to 239 pounds.

“He’s a pretty good football player,” Rodriguez said. “He’s a tough guy. He can probably help us at least on special teams.”

Tushaus is originally from Scottsdale and played at Notre Dame Prep.

Arizona now has five tight ends on their roster in Tushaus, Josh Kern, Aaron Lacombe, Hunter Layton and Trevor Wood. Only Kern — a converted quarterback — and Wood are on scholarship.

Maybe Anae helped him find the spot. A one year TE is surprising. Also sounds underweight. Not sure I get it.

I hope he does well. Too bad he couldn't keep the weight on.
