Lehi High product Legend Glasker will play as a true freshman wide receiver at BYU this fall, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick confirmed Thursday, Aug. 6, as the Cougars opened preseason camp in Provo.

"He's ready to play this year. He's a freshman, but he's going to play," Roderick told reporters, according to the Deseret News.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound receiver enrolled early at BYU after signing in December 2025 and has impressed coaches since spring ball. Glasker was a two-time All-State MVP at Lehi High, where he once posted 10 receptions for 129 yards and four touchdowns in a state playoff game against Corner Canyon.

His cousin, BYU linebacker Isaiah Glasker, already plays for the program. Fellow Lehi Pioneer Devaughn Eka, a running back who ran for 4,030 yards and 48 touchdowns in his high school career, signed in the same class.

Filling a gap in the receiver room

BYU lost two key pass-catchers from 2025. Parker Kingston, who caught 67 passes for 928 yards and five touchdowns last season, was expelled from the university in February. Cody Hagen medically retired in May due to lingering knee issues. The Cougars did not add a receiver through the transfer portal.

Roderick said the staff has "a lot of confidence" in the current group, led by redshirt junior JoJo Phillips (6-foot-5) and Oregon transfer Kyler Kasper (6-foot-6). But Glasker's name kept coming up.

BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier praised the freshman's tools at the same media availability: "He's quick, he's fast, he's deceptive, and a dynamic route runner. And then he's smart as well."

The praise isn't new.

Back in early April, during spring camp, Roderick singled out Glasker publicly: "Legend Glasker is somebody who's really stood out this Spring. I expect him to contribute this Fall," he said at a spring camp media session covered by Lawless Republic.

What it means for the season

Glasker wore No. 88 in spring camp and was rated a high three-star prospect by 247Sports with an 87 rating, ranking as the No. 17 recruit in Utah. His offer sheet included Utah, Kansas State and Cal before he chose BYU.

True freshman receivers rarely make an immediate impact in Provo, which makes the coaching staff's public confidence notable. BYU finished 2025 ranked No. 32 nationally in scoring offense at 31.4 points per game and was top-25 in 10 major offensive categories.

BYU opens the 2026 season Saturday, Sept. 5 against Utah Tech in Provo at 8 p.m. on ESPN+. The home schedule also features Notre Dame (Oct. 17), Iowa State (Friday, Oct. 9) and Arizona State (Oct. 31).
