weeks alone he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, appeared on

"Jimmy Kimmel Live," and shot down lingering rumors that he's

getting engaged.

It's probably more convenient for Fredette to take classes online

of BYU's NCAA tournament run ending at the hands of second-

seeded Florida in the Sweet 16 last month, Fredette has traveled

terminal at Los Angeles International Airport as the BYU star was

flying back to Salt Lake City on Saturday after collecting the

Wooden Award. According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, dozens of

fans — kids and adults alike — mobbed Fredette in hopes of getting

a picture or an autograph.

That level of fame has forced Fredette to take precautions to avoid

being recognized in Provo.

"I asked him what he does on campus when he goes out," Al told the

Post-Star. "He said he wears a hoodie and tries not to make eye

contact."
