BYU Cougars

BYU Cougars are keeping two uncommitted prospects on their radar as the 2026 season looms.
The Cougars have their eyes on two high school standouts who haven’t yet locked in their college choices. Both players fit BYU’s system and could fill immediate needs on the roster.
Landing either recruit would give BYU depth at a critical position. The Cougars need playmakers to compete in the Big 12, and these prospects could be difference-makers.
BYU’s staff is working overtime to build relationships with the families. A verbal commitment before the season opener could shift the momentum.
The Cougars kick off the 2026 slate on September 6 against the Utah Tech Trailblazers. That’s just 55 days away.
The Cougars’ 2026 campaign starts fast with a road trip to St. George. A win there would set the tone for a tough Big 12 slate.
BYU’s coaching staff knows time is running out. They’ll host official visits this month to seal the deal with their top targets.
The two uncommitted prospects remain the focus. One is a 6-foot-5, 240-pound tight end with Division I offers. The other is a 4.5-second 40-yard dash cornerback.
BYU’s offensive coordinator has scouted both players twice this spring. He called the tight end a “matchup nightmare” for defenses.
The cornerback drew rave reviews at the Rivals Camp in Utah last month. Scouts clocked him at 4.48 in the 40.
BYU’s recruiting coordinator confirmed the staff is “all-in” on closing the deal. He said the program won’t let these prospects slip away.
The Cougars’ 2026 roster needs both positions. The tight end would add a new dimension to the passing game. The cornerback could start Day 1 in the secondary.
BYU’s 2026 schedule drops heavy on defense early. The staff can’t afford to miss on these two.
The Cougars’ next home game is September 20 against Utah State. A strong start would ease the pressure on the recruiting trail.
