BYU’s Freshman Linebacker With Big-Time Promise
Owen Borg is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound freshman linebacker for BYU in the 2026 season who arrives with a strong local pedigree from Corner Canyon and was also recruited by programs like Colorado, Utah State, Nevada, San Diego State, Pennsylvania, and Columbia. He stands out as a physical, Big 12-ready defender with clear upside, but because he is just entering the college stage, the real story is projection: toughness, range, and special-teams value more than a stat sheet that is still getting written. If you want a developmental linebacker with room to grow into a difference-maker, Borg is absolutely worth watching.
