5-Star QB Sensation Kyle Trask Stuns College Football by Choosing BYU Over Powerhouses LSU, Ohio State, and Miami
In a decision that has shaken up the college football landscape, five-star quarterback sensation Kyle Trask has officially committed to Brigham Young University (BYU), turning down long-standing powerhouse programs like LSU, Ohio State, and Miami. Trask’s surprising announcement has fans, analysts, and recruiters across the country buzzing as the Cougars land one of the most sought-after talents in recent memory.
Trask, widely regarded as one of the most accurate and poised passers in his class, had been courted heavily by some of the biggest names in college football. His arm strength, football IQ, and leadership abilities made him a prime target for programs looking to reload and dominate the national stage. LSU hoped to restore its SEC dominance with Trask at the helm. Ohio State envisioned him continuing its Big Ten quarterback legacy, and Miami looked to return to national prominence behind his talent.
But Trask had other plans.
In a heartfelt statement released alongside his commitment video, Trask praised BYU’s “unmatched culture, values, and commitment to developing young men both on and off the field.” He went on to say, “This decision wasn’t just about football. It was about where I felt at home—where I felt I could become the best version of myself.”
Sources close to the recruitment say BYU’s coaching staff, led by Kalani Sitake, built a deep, personal connection with Trask and his family. The program’s history of producing elite quarterbacks—from Steve Young to Zach Wilson—also helped seal the deal.
Trask’s decision is a monumental win for BYU, one that instantly boosts their national profile. His arrival is expected to be a magnet for other top recruits and could catapult the Cougars into serious playoff conversations over the next few seasons.
Social media erupted with reactions from fans and fellow athletes, with many expressing surprise but also admiration for Trask’s bold, unconventional choice. In a sport often dominated by tradition and hype, Kyle Trask’s commitment to BYU is a refreshing reminder that sometimes the best path forward is the one less expected.
BYU, it seems, just scored much more than a quarterback—they landed a leader.
