SO SAD: BYU Cougars WR Chase Roberts Suffers Devastating Injury That Could Sideline Him for the Season
Provo is reeling today as news broke that BYU Cougars wide receiver Chase Roberts has suffered a major injury that could potentially end his upcoming season before it even begins. One of the most reliable and explosive weapons in the Cougars’ offense, Roberts’ loss casts a heavy shadow over BYU’s 2025 campaign.
Sources close to the team confirmed that the injury occurred during offseason workouts earlier this week. While the university has yet to release official details, early reports suggest that Roberts may have sustained a torn ACL, which would sideline him for several months — possibly the entire season.
💔 A Tough Blow to a Promising Star
Roberts, a fan favorite and team leader, was poised for a breakout year. After hauling in 53 catches for 745 yards and 6 touchdowns last season, expectations were sky-high for what he’d bring to BYU’s offense this fall. His chemistry with quarterback Jake Retzlaff and ability to stretch the field made him a centerpiece in the Cougars’ Big 12 game plan.
🗣️ Cougar Nation Reacts
Fans and teammates flooded social media with messages of support, using hashtags like #PrayForChase and #CougarStrong to show their love. Head coach Kalani Sitake issued a short but heartfelt statement:
> “Chase is more than a player—he’s a warrior, a brother, and a leader. We’ll be behind him every step of his recovery.”
📅 What’s Next?
The team will likely look to younger wideouts like Parker Kingston and Keanu Hill to step up in Roberts’ absence. But emotionally and strategically, his absence will be deeply felt.
We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge, but for now, Cougar Nation is united in heartbreak — and hope.
