"The future of the defense is extremely bright at BYU. Talent deficiencies have plagued the BYU defense for several years now due to poor recruiting performance. For reference, nearly half of BYU’s 51 defensive players signed from 2020-2023 did not report a single competing offer from any division 1 school. In Jay Hill’s first full class at BYU, all 19 players signed reported competing FBS offers with 14 reporting multiple P4 offers. Translation: The defense will get better. How much better depends on the quality of BYU’s strength and conditioning program."


In my opinion it's going to take another 2 seasons or so for Jay Hill to really get his guys in place. Defensive Tackle is in big trouble again this season and with how poor we were vs the run in 2023 that's still very concerning.
