Brigham Young University backup quarterback Treyson Bourguet became the subject of public discussion following a social media post referencing Christ's Atonement. The Cougars' No. 10 was photographed looking on before BYU's game against the Stanford Cardinal at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on September 6, 2025.
A column published on October 30, 2026, by Tad Walch defended Bourguet, arguing that his expression of faith did not require justification. The article highlighted the intersection of personal belief and public scrutiny faced by student-athletes at the religiously affiliated university.
