BYU prepares to release 2026 season opener depth chart on Monday
Summary

BYU plans to release its official depth chart on Monday, ahead of the team's season opener against Utah Tech this Saturday. Head coach Kalani Sitake noted that the roster possesses significant depth following the conclusion of preseason training camp at LaVell Edwards Stadium. While position battles were limited throughout camp, the coaching staff faced the challenge of determining playing time for an increased number of capable players. Sitake emphasized that the team will utilize a rotation of six to eight receivers and multiple tight end groups during the upcoming game. Fifth-year senior Treyson Bourguet secured the backup quarterback role behind Bear Bachmeier, while LJ Martin and Sione Moa will lead the running back rotation. The coach indicated that the primary objective for the receiving corps is to establish blocking consistency before focusing on catch targets.
