Lehi High Star Receiver Legend Glasker Commits to BYU, Trusting in Prayer and God’s Guidance
Lehi High School standout wide receiver Legend Glasker has officially committed to Brigham Young University (BYU), a decision he says was confirmed through prayer and trusting in God. The talented athlete, known for his speed, agility, and leadership on and off the field, made his announcement after a long period of thoughtful consideration and spiritual reflection.
Glasker, a top recruit in Utah, had several options on the table. His combination of athleticism and work ethic attracted attention from multiple Division I programs across the country. However, throughout the recruitment process, Glasker emphasized that he wasn’t just looking for the best football program — he was looking for the right fit spiritually, academically, and personally.
“I wanted to go somewhere that felt like home,” Glasker said in an interview. “Somewhere I could grow not just as a player but as a person. I prayed a lot about it, and every time, I felt peace about BYU. I trust that God is leading me in the right direction.”
His decision to commit to BYU is significant for several reasons. As a university with strong ties to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU places a heavy emphasis on faith, honor, and community values. For Glasker, a deeply spiritual individual, BYU offered a unique environment where he could continue to nurture his faith while competing at a high level of collegiate athletics.
Glasker’s commitment also reflects a growing trend of local talents choosing to stay close to home. Lehi High School has built a strong football program over the years, and Glasker’s rise as a star player has brought even more attention to the talent emerging from Utah’s high school ranks. His decision to stay in-state and join BYU is a major win for the Cougars, who continue to build a competitive team for the coming seasons.
Legend’s coaches and teammates speak highly of his character, noting that his leadership and humility set him apart as much as his physical abilities. “Legend isn’t just a great athlete — he’s the kind of person you want representing your program,” said Lehi head coach Ed Larson. “He leads by example, he works hard, and he truly cares about his teammates. BYU is getting someone special.”
The road ahead for Glasker is filled with excitement and challenges. He will have the opportunity to compete at a higher level, refine his skills, and contribute to BYU’s success on the field. More importantly, he will be in an environment where his personal values are respected and encouraged, allowing him to stay grounded in the principles that matter most to him.
“I know it won’t always be easy,” Glasker said, “but I trust that God has a plan for me. I’m excited to get to work, meet my new teammates, and represent BYU with pride.”
Legend Glasker’s commitment is more than just a sports decision — it’s a story of faith, trust, and following the path that feels right deep in the heart.
