Wizards or Jazz: Where is BYU Star AJ Dybantsa Headed?
It’s a very exciting time to be a BYU basketball fan. Sure, the team disappointed in the NCAA Tournament, losing in the first round to Texas.

BYU Basketball Recruiting Notebook: Who is the Mystery Big Man Recruit?
If you would have asked me after BYU’s season ended March 19 when BYU would get a starting big man, I would have told you I certainly I expected someone before the end of April. Definitely by Mother’s Day. Before the end of June, of course! Now, we’re on the eve of Father’s Day and […]

LJ Martin Enters 2026 On Doorstep of BYU History
When you think of all-time BYU running backs, the first names that come to mind are likely Jamaal Williams, Luke Staley, Harvey Unga, Tyler Allgeier, and Jamal Willis. What if I told you that current BYU running back LJ Martin is a solid season away from being on top of the record books at BYU, […]
BYU Basketball Notebook: BYU on Short List for 7-Foot-5 China Center Xu Xin
My article prologues are running out as BYU continues its search for a starting caliber big man. The latest miss was Croatian Center Michael Ruzic, who went to LSU in a massive money deal. BYU offered Ruzic millions of dollars, but it didn’t match LSU’s offer. I tend to not throw out numbers I hear […]
Reports: BYU Receiver Cody Hagen to Retire
BYU’s receiving corps has taken hits this offseason. First, Parker Kingston was removed from BYU (both as a student and from the football team) in mid-February 2026 after his arrest on a first-degree felony rape charge. Many assumed that Cody Hagen would take on Kingston’s role as the speedster on the team with special teams […]

BYU Basketball Recruiting Notebook: 5/16 Update on the Big Man Search
The tradition continues of my BYU Basketball Notebook where I highlight BYU’s search for a starting big man. I say that tongue in cheek (sort of), but BYU still needs a starting center. If the season started tomorrow, Khadim Mboup would be the starting center and Adam Stewart would be the backup. That’s not going […]

BYU’s Evan Johnson Deserves Consideration as One of Nation’s Top CBs
They call him “Schmev.” BYU cornerback Evan Johnson returns to the team in 2026, after a very strong junior season. Over the season, he became something of an emotional leader in the secondary with a knack for making big plays in big moments. Johnson hauled in five interceptions in 2025. But these weren’t just any […]
