BYU Wraps Up Monumental Recruiting Weekend — 10 of 16 Official Visitors Lean Toward Cougars After Historic Visit
The most pivotal recruiting weekend in BYU Football’s modern era has officially come to a close — and the buzz out of Provo is electric. Sixteen high-profile recruits descended on campus Thursday for a four-day official visit, and now that the dust has settled, it appears the Cougars may have made seismic progress in building their future.
Of the 16 visitors, 10 are reportedly trending heavily toward BYU, with some insiders predicting silent commitments are already in the works. That’s an astonishing number in today’s ultra-competitive recruiting landscape, especially given the level of talent involved — including several four-star athletes and nationally ranked prospects.
The program pulled out all the stops: tours of the state-of-the-art facilities, one-on-one time with Kalani Sitake and staff, and a family-style weekend that emphasized the culture and brotherhood that define BYU football. Recruits were treated not just as athletes, but as future leaders, with strong emphasis placed on development beyond the gridiron.
Social media lit up with photos and reactions from the recruits, many posting about the “unmatched energy,” “genuine family feel,” and “electric atmosphere” they experienced on campus. The highlight? A Saturday night campfire event where players, coaches, and recruits bonded over stories, team values, and a shared vision for the future.
If BYU lands even half of the prospects that visited, the 2025 class could go down as the most transformative in school history. With momentum clearly on BYU’s side, this weekend may be remembered as the turning point that launched the Cougars into a new era of national prominence. Fans — buckle up. A recruiting wave could be about to hit Provo.
