After last year’s 12-win season and snub from the CFP, BYU has another stacked roster with hopes to finally earn a coveted Playoff spot.

The Cougars won 12 games last year with victories over:

11-2 #14 Utah
9-4 #25 TCU
9-4 #22 Georgia Tech (bowl)
9-4 Arizona
8-4 Iowa State
9-4 East Carolina

From that team, they return QB1, RB1, several starting offensive lineman, and 70% of their defensive production (6th most in FBS), and added several talented transfers.

2026 Offense:
• QB Bear Bachmeier
• RB LJ Martin (led Big 12 in rush yds)
• RB Sione Moa
• WR Tiger Bachmeier
• WR JoJo Phillips
• 4🌟 Oregon transfer WR Kyler Kasper
• WR Tei Nacua
• 3🌟 WR recruit Legend Glasker
• 4🌟 WR recruit Jaron Pula
• 4🌟 USC transfer TE Walker Lyons
• 4🌟 Oregon transfer TE Roger Saleapaga II

2026 Offensive Line:
• Andrew Gentry (started all 14 games last year, co-Captain of the team)
• Sonny Makasini (started two games last year, played in all 14 games last year)
• Bruce Mitchell (started all 14 games last year, First-Team All Big 12 selection)
• Kyle Sfarcioc (started 5 games last year, played in all 14 games)
• Jr Sia (started 10 games for Utah State last year, played in 13 games)

2026 Defense:
• LB Isaiah Glasker
• 4🌟 Cal transfer LB Cade Uluave
• LB Siale Esera
• DB Faletau Satuala
• DB Evan Johnson
• DB Raider Damuni
• DB Therrian Alexander III
• DL Bodie Schoonover
• DL Nusi Taumoepeau
• DL Keanu Tanuvasa
• DL Justin Kirkland

BYU went 10-2 with a Top 10 win in 2024 and didn’t reach the CFP. BYU went 11-1 with two ranked wins last year and didn’t reach the CFP.

Will the Cougars contend for the Big 12 title again this fall and finally not get snubbed out of the College Football Playoff?
