Many a Mormon player takes a 2 year sabbatical for their missions, so it's not unusual for the average BYU player to be a bit older than the average player.
Even if they're older, though, I doubt that they undergo the same intense physical training during the mission that would normally occur while on campus, so I don't see this as an advantage at all.
Even at Notre Dame, we've had some players take those sabbaticals. If I recall, Chris Badger was one of the more recent ones, after having served his mission in Ecuador.
