BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick highlighted four newcomers to the football program who stood out during spring camp and are expected to contribute right away this fall. The group includes wide receivers Legend Glasker, Kyler Kasper, and two tight ends.

Why it matters

With several key offensive starters departed from last season, BYU is looking for new playmakers to step up. These four newcomers could help fill the void and provide an immediate boost to the Cougars' offense.

The details

Roderick singled out wide receivers Legend Glasker and Kyler Kasper as two newcomers who had impressive springs and are poised to play significant roles this season. Glasker, the cousin of star linebacker Isaiah Glasker, impressed with his speed and ability to get open, while Kasper, a transfer from Oregon, ran with the first-team offense throughout camp. Roderick also highlighted two new tight ends who could contribute right away, though he did not name them specifically.

  • BYU wrapped up spring camp last Thursday.
  • Roderick met with the media at the conclusion of camp.

He's a new guy that's had a great spring in addition to those two tight ends...But those are some guys that maybe the fans haven't seen a lot of that you're going to see them play in the fall and you're going to like what you see.”
