BYU is trying to overhaul its recruiting strategy as it enters a new conference.
Brigham Young Cougars head coach Kalani Sitake disputes a call as No. 10 Brigham Young University hosts Boise State at LaVell Edwards Stadium, Oct. 9, 2021.The 6-foot-5 tight end is a four-star recruit, who held offers from Arizona, Washington and even Alabama — but Bowers picked BYU over everyone else. It’s a big win for the Cougars, and the type of recruiting victory that might become more common as they move into the Power Five world.
Maybe he isn’t the top end of talent in the state, but he is the perfect foray into Florida recruiting for the Cougars: a three-star athlete who would immediately be Big 12 caliber talent, and a guy BYU should be competitive with to get a foothold in a Big 12 recruiting hotbed. Zipperer hasn’t made a decision yet on where he’ll play his college ball. But he represents the problem BYU will have to overcome as it overhauls its recruiting strategy for the Big 12.
Just look at the stats: In the 2023 class, BYU has offered four players from Florida, five from Texas and 32 from California, per 247Sports. All of those numbers are up from this time a year ago. But when it comes to commitments, only two players from Texas have picked the Cougars so far, and none from Florida or California.. But Bowers is from Arizona, a place the Cougars have long had success recruiting.
Or Nyziah Hunter, a three-star player from California who had offers from Cal, Oregon State and Boise State. Hunter is another player that BYU should have been competitive with, but he has opted to stay home at Cal. For now, BYU’s recruiting class looks a lot like the past. Five of the nine commitments came from either Utah or Arizona — typical strongholds for BYU. Only one is over three stars, according to 247Sports, and two are unrated. It ranks the 70th best class in the country, according to 247Sports, which is the bottom end of the Big 12.. But they haven’t sealed commitments from either. Clegg, a four-star edge rusher from American Fork, just committed to Stanford.
