PROVO, Utah — Recruiting for a power conference program like BYU football is a lifeblood. National Signing Day kicks off on Wednesday, December 4, earlier than ever. The early signing period runs from the 4th to the 6th.
BYU football is sure to be involved in the festivities.
Set your alarms!

The Cougars have commitments from 19 high school recruits entering the early signing period.
Early Signing Day was moved to reduce the usual chaos during the December calendar. The previous early signing period would have landed the week of the first round of the 12-team College Football Playoff.
It also locks in high school and junior college prospects before the transfer portal officially opens on Monday, December 9.
The highest-ranked prospect in BYU’s class is four-star offensive lineman Alai Kalaniuvalu from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. Kalaniuvalu flipped from the Oregon Ducks to commit to BYU last month.
The strength of BYU’s class resides in the trenches.
BYU has four offensive linemen commitments and five defensive line pledges.
During National Signing Day, we will update this page with any new additions to BYU’s class.

BYU’s 19 commitments place the Cougars at No. 52 in the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Class rankings entering Signing Day. The class ranks 10th in the Big 12.
