Legend Glasker, a standout wide receiver from Lehi High, commits to BYU.
Citing culture, family, and faith, Glasker feels BYU is his second home.
Glasker plans to enroll early, aiming for immediate impact in BYU’s offense.
PROVO — Lehi High standout Legend Glasker has committed to play football at BYU, giving the Cougars one of the most electrifying wide receivers in the state of Utah for the 2026 recruiting class.
At 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, Glasker brings speed, size, and an undeniable playmaking ability — traits that caught the eye of multiple programs across the West. But for the rising three-star receiver, the decision ultimately came down to comfort, connection and culture.
“It feels great,” Glasker said in an interview on ESPN radio as he reflected on his recruiting journey. “The process was fun — meeting new coaches, new people — but once the offseason started, I kinda knew where I wanted to go. BYU has always felt like a second home.”
That “second home” feeling wasn’t just metaphorical. His cousin, current BYU linebacker Isaiah Glasker, has been instrumental in Legend’s decision, painting a picture of a program built on brotherhood and belief.
“Isaiah said it felt like home on Day 1,” Glasker said. “Everyone welcomed him with open arms. That really meant something.”
Recruiting momentum
Glasker’s relationship with BYU began early. He attended multiple junior day events and practices; and while his official visit is scheduled for June, he’s already felt the family-first atmosphere that head coach Kalani Sitake has cultivated.
“The culture’s great,” Glasker said. “They fed us well, showed a lot of love. I love how coach Kalani Sitake runs things.”
BYU wide receivers coach Fesi Sitake led his recruitment, and it’s clear the connection between player and coach was a driving force in Glasker’s commitment.
“Coach Fesi Sitake for sure,” he said when asked about his main recruiter. “He believed in me as a receiver from Day 1.”
Versatility and vision
On the field, Glasker projects as a dynamic presence in BYU’s offense, capable of lining up both in the slot and on the perimeter.
“They see me playing both inside and outside,” he said. “I’m fast, I can run good routes, make sharp cuts, and high-point the ball. I don’t think many defenders can keep up with me.”
His junior season stat line backs up the confidence. Glasker posted 781 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, including a 226-yard, two touchdown outing against Lone Peak, and a four touchdown performance in the 6A state semifinal against Corner Canyon.
Grounded in faith and family
While football played a major role in Glasker’s decision, so did his personal values and family background. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Glasker said his faith was central to the decision.
“I’m LDS, and I believe trusting God will help you achieve anything,” Glasker said. “I prayed about it, and I just knew BYU was right.”
He also credits his parents for providing balance in the process. His mother, a former track star at the University of Utah who now works in higher education, and his father, a former football player at Utah Tech who works in youth rehabilitation, both gave unique perspectives.
“My mom picks up on energy, and she said the energy (at BYU) was just perfect,” Glasker said. “My dad broke it down more in football terms. He loved how they throw the ball and develop guys.”
Eyes on the future
Set to enroll early in January 2026, Glasker plans to jump into spring ball and compete for early playing time. A self-described “football first” recruit, he won’t be serving a mission and instead plans to hit the ground running.
Off the field, Glasker has his sights set on studying zoology, a field driven by his lifelong love of animals.
And when it comes to role models on the gridiron, Glasker points to physical, high-point receivers like Julio Jones and Mike Evans as his blueprint — players who go up and get it.
“I love Odell Beckham Jr., but I’m taller, so I’d say Julio Jones or Mike Evans.”
Building something special
As his senior year approaches, Glasker isn’t just focused on his own future, he’s trying to bring teammates with him.
“My cousin Devaughn Eka — I’ve been recruiting him hard,” he said. “Ryder Lyons — we talked yesterday and he loves BYU. Bryton Niu — my tight end — he’s 6-foot-5, 220 (pounds), looks like a college player already.”
With elite production, character, and leadership, Glasker represents everything BYU fans hope for in a commit — and he’s ready to deliver.
“Just stay tuned,” he said. “Two Glaskers will be on the field soon. We’ve got something special coming.”
