    Season news

    During Spring Training QB Jake Heaps was named one of the top 3 non-AQ players to watch in 2011 by ESPN's Andrea Adelson.[49]

    Rivals.com named OT Matt Reynolds as No. 24 on their top 100 countdown in 2011.[50] Reynolds would later be named on ESPN's Pre-Season All-American team.[51]

    At the Utah State game, Brandon Doman proposed benching Heaps and seeing what Riley Nelson could do. Nelson rallied the Cougars to beat the Aggies and would become the starting QB for every game he was healthy in the rest of the season.[52] Nelson would go on to win 4 FBS Independent Player of the Week awards.

    BYU decided to add running back Michael Alisa to their running back rotation at homecoming. Alisa would become the starting RB for the rest of the season after going for 91 yards on 16 carries.[53]

    Matt Putnam was ruled eligible for the Cougars starting in October and became one of the many linebacker beasts.[54]

    On November 7, Bronco Mendenhall announced that senior Jordan Pendleton would have season ending knee surgery. As a tribute for his teammates play and attitude, Kyle Van Noy would wear his number at senior night.[55] Pendleton won two FBS Independent defensive player of the week awards during his senior season.

    On December 5, Jake Heaps announced he would transfer after the semester ended. James Lark would resume the backup QB role for the bowl game and for the 2012 season. It was later announced he would transfer to Kansas.[56]
