BYU assistant quarterbacks coach Tyler Hughes, a well-traveled coaching veteran, has returned to his roots and is now working closely with quarterback Bear Bachmeier during spring practices.
Hughes was photographed conferring with Bachmeier during a practice session on February 27, 2026, as the Cougars prepare for the upcoming season.
The coaching reunion marks a homecoming for Hughes, who has held positions at multiple programs before rejoining the BYU staff. His experience is expected to accelerate the development of Bachmeier, a highly touted signal-caller.
