BYU hosted four four-star recruits during an important weekend for the program. But at least three of those recruits are set to visit Utah this weekend.
What ensued was a series of pictures that set off a flash of takes and tweets. Lyons, a four-star tight end, lay down in full uniform next to it. The other recruits — Thomason, Bowers and Clegg — all took their turns with BYU’s mascot with the mountains in the backdrop.
With Lyons, Clegg and Thomason all set to visit the University of Utah this weekend, BYU hopes the cougar and the rest of the visit was memorable for the foursome of four-star recruits. “It definitely felt like this was an important weekend for the program,” Thomason said. “They didn’t go over the top to where it is unrealistic. But you could feel it was really important.”
In between, head coach Kalani Sitake had one-on-one meetings with each player to figure out what a Big 12 plan would look like, and their role in it. The entire trip was focused on getting the players to see their place in the bigger picture, with the head coach heavily involved.Clegg is a 6-foot-4, 235-pound edge rusher with offers from USC, Baylor and Utah. His wingspan and size make him an easy fit to translate to the Power Five level.
