BYU receivers prepare for Utah Tech season opener at LaVell Edwards Stadium

Summary

BYU opens its 2026 football season Saturday against Utah Tech at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo. The Cougars’ receiving corps looks to demonstrate depth following the departure of several veteran pass-catchers during the offseason. Redshirt junior Jojo Phillips leads the group after missing time last year with a collarbone injury, supported by Kyler Kasper, Legend Glasker, Tiger Bachmeier, and Reggie Frischknecht. Head coach Kalani Sitake identified the receivers as a position group that has improved during preseason training camp despite public skepticism regarding their experience level. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. MDT as the Cougars aim to prepare for their upcoming conference schedule against Arizona.
