Three BYU Football Targets Set to Announce College Commitments in the Coming Week
The recruiting trail is heating up for BYU football, as three high-priority prospects are expected to announce their college decisions within the next week. With the Cougars looking to build momentum for their 2025 class, these announcements could have a major impact on the program’s trajectory as it continues to navigate the competitive landscape of the Big 12.
Among the trio of recruits are a mix of offensive and defensive standouts who have all received serious attention from BYU’s coaching staff. The Cougars are hopeful that at least two of the three will commit to Provo, bolstering a class that already has some promising pieces.
First up is four-star linebacker Elijah Thompson, who has narrowed his list to BYU, Utah, and Oregon. The California native took an official visit to Provo earlier this summer and came away impressed with the coaching staff and the program’s culture. His commitment would be a significant addition to BYU’s defense, as he brings speed, physicality, and a high football IQ.
Next is three-star wide receiver Jaxon Reed out of Texas, who plans to make his decision public by midweek. Reed has been on BYU’s radar for several months, especially after a breakout junior season in which he racked up over 1,200 receiving yards. His top schools include BYU, Baylor, and TCU, but sources say the Cougars made a strong impression during his June visit.
Rounding out the group is in-state offensive lineman Noah Fa’amoe, a two-way standout from Salt Lake City. While not as highly rated as the others, Fa’amoe fits the mold of linemen BYU has developed in the past — tough, disciplined, and versatile. He is expected to announce his choice this weekend, with BYU battling Utah State and Nevada for his commitment.
Landing even two of these three prospects would be a strong statement for BYU and head coach Kalani Sitake, particularly as they continue to adjust to life in the Power Five. With a solid base already in place for the 2025 class, adding more talent at key positions could help the Cougars remain competitive in the Big 12 for years to come.
All eyes will be on social media over the next few days as these decisions unfold — and BYU fans are hoping for a reason
to celebrate.
