There has been considerable speculation regarding AJ potentially joining BYU. While his talent and abilities are recognized, a thorough evaluation has taken place involving multiple factors such as timing, availability, NIL considerations, input from family, and his overall fit within BYU’s current roster and strategic direction. After extensive internal discussions, it has been determined that the circumstances do not align to move forward with adding AJ to the team.

The timing of such an addition does not fit within BYU’s current schedule or plans, and after a detailed assessment of the team’s composition, it was concluded that the integration of AJ would not be conducive to the objectives currently in place. In parallel, AJ and his advisors have reflected on various personal and logistical factors, including consultation with family, and it became clear that there are other priorities at play that do not align with the needs of the team at this point.

Furthermore, the NIL aspect has been reviewed, and it was determined that the available opportunities do not match the expectations. This, combined with the other factors, led to the decision that AJ will not be joining BYU.

This conclusion has been reached after a full and objective review of all relevant aspects. While there may have been interest from various parties, the decision is final, and AJ will not be part of the BYU roster moving forward.

Made you look. He's on his way.
