The most important player in BYU's backfield this fall is not LJ Martin, it's not Bear

Bachmeyer, it's Cionne Moa.

Coming up on today's show, we're going to dig into BYU's running back position.

We'll talk about future pieces, guys who are going to have a role this season, but obviously

auditioning for future roles, then we'll catch up with LJ Martin, the guy who could end

up being BYU's all-time leading rusher.

He explains exactly what he worked on this spring without actually being on the field during

spring camp, but we start today talking about the most important player in BYU's backfield

and that is Cione Moa.

The reason why I believe that Cione Moa is the most important piece for BYU's continued

success this season is we all saw last year that when BYU had guys like LJ Martin or Bear

Bachmeier get dinged up, BYU's offense flatline, it really struggled without those two

at peak capacity.

The problem for BYU's season ago is they did not have adequate replacements that could

step up into that role or those roles and make sure that BYU's offense didn't taper

off and didn't flatline like I just mentioned.

Cione Moa played early on last year and then had compartment syndrome in his thigh in the

aftermath of the East Carolina game.

He fought his way back to get back on the field in time for BYU's appearance in the Big

12 Championship.

He went out there and played exactly one play got re-injured and never retook the field.

If you paid attention during spring ball this year, it was not LJ Martin out there taking

the reps.

There were obviously reps for young players like Devon, Ekka, Preston, Rex, other players

that will discuss here in just a little bit, but the lead guy on the field this spring

was none other than Cione Moa.

The reason why is because as Aaron Roderick pointed out multiple times during spring, BYU

needs an adequate if not stand out Robin to LJ Martin's Batman and they have pegged

their hopes and everything that I took away from spring ball is that the guy they expect

to be that is none other than Moa.

The reason why is because he has undeniable physical gifts, he has the ability to break

a defense.

He is a like for like replacement in so many different ways to what LJ Martin is and

that allows BYU's offense to not skip a beat when he's out there on the field.

I completely get why they have pegged their hopes on this guy being the one B to the

one A that is LJ Martin and the reason why is because he when he's on the field is

super effective, but you heard the caveat I just mentioned in there when he's on the field.

That has got to be the biggest thing that Cione Moa has to overcome this fall.

He's got to be on the field.

He's got to be available.

I am very fond of using the phrase the best ability is availability and I reiterate that

here because when Cione Moa is available to play for BYU, he is absolutely awesome, but

it's been too far and too few between appearances for him during his time as a BYU Cougar.

I sincerely hope everything that we saw in spring camp, the fact that he's battled

back has been declared 100% healthy from that compartment syndrome and ankle injury in

the big 12 championship game and the like is that he this season will finally be on the

field and available when called upon by BYU's coaches.

I'm not going to try and explain to you that there's going to be this many reps for

guy like Cione Moa, but understand that while LJ Martin is the bell cow, he is the number

one guy without a doubt for the BYU football program and we'll talk more about what I believe

he's he'll be able to accomplish this coming fall momentarily.

He needs to have somebody in those instances, he needs a blow or heaven forbid does absorb

an injury like he absorbed against Iowa State that can step up into that role and allow BYU's

offense, like I said, not to skip a beat, it can keep doing what it's doing.

We saw in the aftermath of that Iowa State game, yes, that bear Bachmeier Scholdler to

hold a lot of the load against the cyclones, but when BYU traveled for that all important

game in love against Texas Tech without LJ Martin and I know that LJ tried to play through

it, but was rendered ineffective early on in that game.

Never was able to get their offense to working to any meaningful capacity in that game.

And let's be real.

The outcome of that game, I think jaded a lot of the voters when it comes to the college

for a playoff committee, a lot of the national talking heads when it comes to kind of fermenting

the national narrative around BYU, that loss.

I think did more damage to BYU's playoff bid than 12 other wins did to help it.

It's unfortunate to be able to have to say that, but isn't it obvious that that's played

that's what played into this.

I am of the opinion that if Cione Moa can stay healthy this year, he is going to have

a marvelous year and that may end up with what 400 yards total, but his role is he is

to be the compliment.

He's supposed to be the Robin to LJ's Batman.

We are all hoping that LJ Martin goes out and becomes BYU's all time leading Russia.

He is 1347 yards short of that mark.

If he does what he did a season ago, he had 1,301 yards if I recall correctly.

He will leave BYU as their all time leading Russia.

But once again, he's shouldered so much of that workload and the injury that he absorbed

against Iowa State, I was told by multiple people in and around the BYU football program

that a lesser man would have called it a day on that season, had surgery and said, Hey,

I'm doing my thing.

BYU is lucky to have guys like LJ Martin who put on for their team.

And yes, he responded in very emphatic fashion down the stretch, notwithstanding the ineffectiveness

against Texas Tech, but BYU needs a better compliment running back system to just relying

on, Hey, there's number four LJ Martin.

He's what we've got.

That's where Sionimoa has to answer the bell.

And there will be other opportunities for other players.

We'll talk about other guys in this running back position here a little bit later on in

today's podcast that should a guy like Sionimoa should the fall, follow the formula.

It's followed for him the last couple of years where he has had very effective moments,

but then has picked up an injury that has knocked him out for significant periods of

time.

Well, then you have to find somebody else.

And that could be a Devon Ekka.

That could be a mykebeck stead, Preston Rex, heck, even a Logan pain.

And we'll, I'll explain a little bit more about my belief in any one of those individual

players here in just a little bit.

But I think all circles back here to the focus needing to be that Sionimoa need you.

Need you on the field as often if not every game this fall, because if that happens, BYU

is going to have a fighting chance in every game this year.

For schedule, it sets up I think for 10 wins, very easily, if a guy stay healthy, L.J.

Martin, Bear Bachmeyer, etc.

But you need to have other complimentary pieces that are on the field and available.

And that's why I think Sionimoa factors in, as I said, as the most important backfield

player, BYU has this year.

And he doesn't get the laurels that he gets, probably if L.J. and Bear go out and have

the heroic type seasons we all expect from them, but a very, very important role that

a guy Xionimoa will fill for the BYU football program.

All right.

I have talked a little bit about L.J. Martin, what he could accomplish, what he could leave

BYU as.

Well, what is he looking to do?

And what did he use from his time during spring camp to improve his overall skill set?

He explains next.

All right.

So, L.J. Martin, I believe if he, everything goes according to plan this fall, we'll have

accomplished something that no other BYU running back will have accomplished.

That is leaving Braiming University as their all-time leading rusher in program history.

Now, there have been some pretty illustrious names that have held that title.

Guys like Harvey Unga, guys like Jamal Williams, Tyler Algier.

We have seen some of the best running backs if you are of a certain age.

In the last 20 or so years that we have ever seen in BYU history.

And yes, I understand that during the 70s and 80s, they were a pass happy offense.

And guys like Lake, Himule, etc. were standing out running backs, but we didn't get the

due recognition they were probably deserved during some of those eras.

But this recent era for BYU, we've seen some of the all-timers are running back.

And L.J. Martin can be the crown among all of them.

He can be the crown king, I guess you want to call it, of all BYU running backs.

If he goes out and has the same type of season that he had a season to go and oh by the way,

oh yes, he is the reigning offensive player of the year in the Big 12 conference.

He was recognized as the best offensive force the Big 12 had.

And yes, he has got everything within his skill set to become I think a top tier NFL draft

prospect.

Cam Miller from Profitball Focus and I think it's college football network, if I recall correctly.

He was on BYU sports nation and he believes that L.J. Martin can become a first round type

running back.

Now, that would require I think some pretty special stuff this year, but L.J. has every

skill.

And if you listen to Lance Anderson, by the way, head coach of Utah Tech, who we had on

the show yesterday, talking about BYU season opener, he recruited L.J. to Stanford before

the David Shaw step down and obviously L.J. pivoted from Stanford to BYU and he said,

hey, we thought we found a gym and I'll pass on BYU, he's blossomed into that.

That's a guy who saw what L.J. had in him years and years ago.

And as you mentioned, L.J. is blossomed into a top tier power for running back.

Stanford would have loved to have had him obviously and BYU's benefited with having L.J.

on the field.

And yes, he has the capability of becoming a top tier NFL draft type prospect, but he's

got to put it all together this year.

He's got to have another healthy year because that was kind of the big question or caution

mark about him coming into last season as he had had two seasons where he had been BYU's

best running back, but it'd be knocked out due to injury.

He had a fairly healthy season last year and I know notwithstanding that shoulder injury,

he played through it and showed I think some extreme toughness to NFL teams.

When they learned about the extent of the injury that he endured last season, that's

going to put some more gold stars in his ledger for some of these teams because he put on

first team when he really didn't have to and when he maybe shouldn't have in some circumstances.

That is all all stuff that's going to help him as he moves on to the next level, but

he did not participate in spring ball because he had off season shoulder surgery.

He did not play in the pop tarts bowl because he had that surgery and he wanted to make

sure that he was going to be back and fully ready by the time this coming season was about

to play out.

Well, I had a chance to catch up with him as BYU spring camp wrapped up and we had

a great chat about what he took away from spring, what spring and back to BYU when he easily

could have left after last season for the NFL and a whole lot more.

So here you go, L.J. Martin in his own words about what he has left to accomplish at BYU,

what he hopes to show this season and why he's back for another year in a Cougar uniform.

You obviously didn't participate in spring, you took out more of a coaching role, did you

enjoy that experience?

Yeah, I did.

I mean, it was a little bit interesting, you know, just being out there, just watching

and trying to coach the younger guys up, but it was fun.

I enjoyed it and yeah, I'm ready for that part to be over and get him back to playing.

Okay, I'm going to ask you, how seriously did you consider not coming back?

Yeah, I consider it very seriously, I mean, it's been my lifelong dream to go to the NFL,

you know, playing the NFL, get drafted, but just having the opportunity to get drafted

and get drafted at a higher position because you know, when you think of getting drafted,

the emphasis growing up, you know, sitting in the green room and stuff like that.

So just, you know, just kind of just sitting back and just trying to get myself another

opportunity to do that.

I mean, whether it happens or not, you know, I feel like just coming back, it will make

it all worth it.

Do you have a goal of becoming the leading Russia and be waiting for ball history?

Um, I mean, I just want to be able to do whatever I can with my touches.

I mean, I want to, hopefully I get whatever, like 15 touches and they're all 99, I know

I'll touch down the line.

It's done like that, you know, but I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, it would be great

to have, but that's not the, that's not the reason I came back.

He's more just to come back and be with my guys while last time and go out there and

win games.

What's it been like playing with the guy like, Bear?

Um, it's been great.

I mean, just fun to be around.

It's a pretty silly dude, so like, he's just fun to be around, so yeah, hello.

What's he like off the field?

Yeah, he's like, silly, but like, what's he really like?

I mean, he likes to play the guitar, like, I don't know, like, there's just one night

with that.

I was with them.

He's just playing the guitar and you just seem getting it, you know, you're just laughing

because it's like starting quarterbacking.

You know, like, he's just out here, like singing songs, like, keep writing songs and stuff

like that.

He's just funny to me.

And then, sometimes like, we went to McElbees and, hey, all you could do is French toast,

pancakes with Bruce and Kyle and Tiger and I think it was Tracing, he was like six

of us.

Joe S might have been there too, but yeah, we were just eating pancakes.

We were trying to eat as much as we could and put them out of business pretty much and

it didn't work.

But really?

Yeah.

That, okay, that's fun to hear, that's, what's the team dynamic like right now?

What do you feel about the vibe of this team right now?

No, yeah, I feel like we're all pretty together, we're all the line on the same goal and I think

we have, we all believe that we have something to do pretty special, something pretty special

here and you just want to go out there and play, I think a lot of us are excited for

the season and we can't wait till we play.

How much of that goes to losing to Texas Tech twice and being right there on the door

stuff?

Yeah, that definitely hurts, but I mean, the thing is that we're all competitors, so that's

why we love it.

You know, to go out there and compete like we did, I think we're all happy with how we

competed, but we weren't happy with the result if that makes sense.

So we just want to go out there and go out there and compete again and just continue

just to try to be our best and whatever happens happens.

Okay, I got two more for you real quick.

Why do you wear the number that you wear?

Number four?

Yeah.

I wear number four because of Skyler main, he wore number four in high school and he was

my favorite player.

Okay, I can respect that, I know the thing, I'm just, I'm just mess with you.

Why is it?

We were just talking about this earlier today, actually, but my high school coach, so I got

moved out the bar city and, yeah, you guys are freshmen and he just gave me number four,

so ever since then.

His head is a number.

Yeah, he just gave me number four and I was like, all right, cool, so that I just stuck

with it.

And ever since then, it just kind of stuck on.

We're almost Skyler main on this other story.

Yeah, basically of Skyler main.

It's much more fun.

Yeah.

Last thing for me, what should be what you experience been like overall as you approach

your final season in a coup?

Yeah, it's been great.

I mean, it's been fun out here.

I love it.

I wouldn't, I wouldn't do anything any different.

I mean, I'm glad I came here out of high school.

I'm, I'm great for everything has been so far and it's just been real fun just to come

out here and live in Provo, just be out here, BYU and just have fun.

It's been great.

Big thank you to LJ Martin for taking the time to join us here on the podcast and big

thank you to BYU Sports Information for arranging said interview as always.

They're fantastic about what they do and here's hoping that LJ goes out and has the type

of senior campaign that he believes he's capable of having and let's hope he along with

his teammates can accomplish everything they hope to accomplish in a Cougar uniform because

they have been on the doorstep of making the college football playoff the last two years.

Yes, they want to win a big 12 title along the way if it all possible and we'll see how

it all plays out, but it does not take anything away individually from what LJ is capable

of accomplishing and that is becoming the best running back in BYU football history.

And I would have no problem saying that if he does indeed set the mark and I would actually

argue, even if he doesn't go over 1,347 yards this year, he's absolutely in the mix for

being the best running back in BYU football history, even without that mark.

Now you get that mark and it's undisputed.

You have the title, you have the rushing title, but I think LJ he has been everything BYU

could have hoped for and I don't think we're necessarily going to understand how much

he meant to BYU football until after he leaves the BYU football program, I had personal

opinion on that front, but I'm looking forward to what should be an exciting senior season

for LJ and I hope he goes out there and puts on a show for all of us out here in Cougar

nation.

Alright, coming up next, who are the other names to know in the running back room and

let's say if Cione Moa does get injured again or LG Martin heaven forbid something happens

to him, who are the other names you're going to want to know as a Cougar fan that could

step up and play pivotal roles this fall will explain next.

Thank you once again for making locked on Cougars your first listen of the day we're

very proud to be part of the locked on podcast network, your team every day, please continue

to subscribe, rate, review, share the show with your family and friends and help us continue

to build this audience.

We have had an absolutely incredible start to 2026 and we got our latest rankings from

the locked on podcast network among all college channels.

Your BYU Cougars are number seven across all college football shows, which is now number

I think north of 70 so thank you for all your support.

You guys are absolutely marvelous in supporting this show on a daily basis, you guys are the

best of the best.

I tell people all the time Cougar nation is unmatched and it's passion, it's fervor and

it's just overall love for all things BYU.

Alright, so we've talked about us Cione Moa, we've talked about LJ Martin, we've heard

from LJ Martin, but if something happens to one or both of those gentlemen, what is

going to happen for BYU at running back?

Well, I think BYU fans, you have pinned a lot of your hopes on an early and rollly by

the name of Devon Ekka and for good reason.

Devon Ekka is a product of Lehigh high school and I have had that opportunity over the last

couple of years to watch him play for the Lehigh pioneers and I have seen every skill that

I needed to see out of a young man like that to think, okay, that guy can be a difference

maker at the next level and the hope is is that while you hope you don't have to call

upon him that much this fall, that he's capable of stepping up.

If he was available, speaking of Jovesa Damuni, Jovesa probably has the role I'm talking

about here, but Jovesa tore his ACL during spring ball and he will miss the upcoming season

if not a large chunk of it.

ACL injuries, we've seen something guys come back as quick as six months, but usually

it's kind of a full year, especially in the case of running back, we were trying to

cut and move with that knee.

We'll see what happens and best wishes to Jovesa because his skill set stands in start

contrast to a lot of the other backs on BYU's roster and you would have liked to have

had him.

But I think that's where I got like Devon Eka steps into that role where Devon maybe

isn't necessarily the full on power back, maybe isn't the full weight you wanted to play

out yet at the college level, but what he's got is pure unadulterated speed and really

a nice lateral ability.

He also shows some pretty good hands out of the backfield and that's a very key component

in BYU's offense under and Roderick is the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

So I think that in the absence of Jovesa Demune gets to know the name Devon Eka.

When surprised me that if somebody in front of him gets injured this year, Devon could put

a stake on the claim to being the guy.

The next guy I should say for BYU's running back position in 2027 and beyond and that

for good reason.

Like I said, he was an absolutely electric type player at Lehigh High School, but there

are other guys who are going to want to make their own name for themselves.

One of them is Preston Rex.

Now Preston is kind of in a do everything player for BYU during his career.

Originally committed to BYU as an athlete, was tried out at safety early on in his career.

Didn't necessarily fit and was kind of surpassed by other guys on the defensive side of the

football and then made a change to running back.

Now, he was a receiver growing up and he has brought some of that receiver mentality,

the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, but he's been honing his craft on becoming

the best version of a running back he possibly can be.

The hope is that if Preston is called upon this season, we start to see more of that

natural instinct in terms of running back instincts take hold in him.

A lot of guys who are born and bred running backs have this natural ability and that's

not what Preston has had growing up.

I can say he played wide receiver, kind of do everything player in high school and it's

not his fault.

But what he's tried to do is he's tried to put his own stamp on BYU with his own style

of play.

There have been moments and flashes of brilliance from Preston and the hope is that those

continue to become bigger and brighter and more consistent.

If they do, yeah, he'll find himself on the field more often than you might think because

he's got a really, really nice ability and I think he's capable of contributing.

The other two names I want to mention here include Logan Payne.

Now that last name should sound familiar because his dad is a certain guy by the name of

Mitch Payne who brought the pain even though he was a kicker for BYU back in the day.

His uncle is Mitch, obviously Mitch Payne, but Logan 5, 10, 210 pounds and he runs like

he's four inches taller and 30 pounds heavier.

He is just an absolute wrecking ball when he's got the ball in his hands and Logan, I don't

know what it's going to take to kind of find his way onto the field, but I hope he gets

an opportunity because Logan has got a really, really nice skill set that I think BYU

can take advantage of, but he's going to have to overcome other guys on this depth chart

who are going to be slated in front of him, but do not forget about Logan Payne because

I think in short, yardage situations, last year BYU relied on guys like Eneknawahine.

I think so and I'm not saying, so I'm all can do it.

I think Logan Payne could fill that role in a pinch for BYU.

The other name to know is Micah Beck's dad.

Now Micah Beck's dad is a guy that originally committed elsewhere.

Now he committed to Utah State if I recall correctly, but after a mission for the Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he's decided to come close to home and he's a

Timvue product and play for BYU.

And at 510, 238 pounds, he brings the thunder.

240 pound running backs on a 5 foot 10 frame.

Yeah, I talked about the fact that Logan Payne runs bigger than he's listed at 510 to

10.

Well, Micah Beck's dad is kind of what I envision when I see a guy like Logan Payne run.

Now Beck's dad is obviously got to get the mission rest off of those legs, but what he

proved in high school was to be a very durable, if not effective, outright effective option

for Timvue.

And the hope is that Beck's dad, as he gets better and better in terms of like getting

himself back into shape and the like, yeah, you're going to see more and more from him during

his BYU career.

The nice part is he alongside guys like Devon Ek, Logan Payne to a smaller level, have

time on their side.

Micah Beck's dad, Devon Ek are both freshmen.

So they have got three and four years in front of them to make an impact on the BYU football

season.

Preston Rex and Logan Payne.

Preston, if I'm not mistaken, let's see.

He is a junior.

Yeah.

He'll be a senior this year.

He was a junior last year.

So he's only got the one season, Logan Payne is a red shirt freshman.

So he's also got some time on his side.

You hope is out of that kind of this core of guys that are there, the next guy emerges

for BYU.

Now, am I going to expect that BYU won't be using the portal or the high school ranks.

So there are some guys as are Santa Levy already committed to BYU.

No, they're going to continue to recruit this position heavily and Harvey Lunga is always

on the lookout for the next great BYU running back because he was one of them.

He knows what it takes to be the lead guy in that backfield and he wants to find that

guy.

Is it as are Santa Levy?

Is it going to be Devon Eka?

Well, the future of the BYU running back position could start to see glimpses of what

we are going to see unfold in 2027.

Maybe 2027 is the year that's soon and more finally gets his chance to shine, not being

in the shadow of L.J. Martin.

But there's a lot of other young players on BYU's roster who are going to have a lot

to say about the future success of BYU from the running back position and a nice chunk

of them are already on this roster.

So there you go.

That's what I got for you guys on this Friday.

It's crazy.

It's me first.

Think about that.

We have already made it to me.
