With 84 days left until the 2025 BYU football season kicks off, all eyes are on freshman wide receiver Kila Keone, who wears jersey No. 84 — a number he’s looking to make unforgettable in Provo.
A standout from Kahuku High School in Hawaiʻi, Keone arrived at BYU with sky-high potential. Known for his blazing speed, crisp route running, and quiet confidence, he’s already turning heads during offseason workouts and has earned praise from coaches and teammates alike.
Keone isn’t just another name on the roster — he’s a rising prospect pushing to break into a deep receiver rotation. With the Cougars retooling their offense under a new scheme led by head coach Kalani Sitake and offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick, opportunities are wide open. Keone is hoping to seize one of them.
“Every rep, every catch, every route — I treat it like it’s game day,” Keone said in a recent team media session. “I want to prove I belong here and I’m ready to contribute right away.”
Wearing No. 84 this fall, Keone represents more than just a number on the depth chart. He symbolizes the new wave of young Cougar talent looking to leave a mark as BYU navigates its second year in the Big 12.
While he still has to battle for playing time, the countdown to kickoff is ticking — and Kila Keone is sprinting toward it with purpose.
As the Cougars march toward their opening matchup, fans and coaches alike are eager to see if this freshman receiver from the islands will make No. 84 one of the season’s break
