Story summary
  • BYU posted an 85.2% win rate in 2024-2025 but only two players were drafted in 2026.
  • Analysts blame BYU’s 68th-national recruiting rank (2020-2022) and two-year missionary commitments for the shortfall.
  • The 2026 draftees were linebacker Jack Kelly (sixth-round New York Giants) and tight end Carsen Ryan (seventh-round Cleveland Browns).
  • Coach Kalani Sitake’s December signing of the best recruiting class should improve BYU’s 2027 draft outlook.
