Adney Reid brings high-upside length to BYU’s edge rotation
Adney Reid enters the 2026 season as a freshman, 6-foot-5, 238-pound defensive end with a strong recruiting profile — a three-star prospect with a 247Sports composite score of 85 — and BYU is clearly betting on his upside. His background in rugby and basketball hints at a versatile, physical mover who should fit an aggressive edge role, and one BYU preview grouped him with the young pass rushers who have “high upsides.”[1][2] The catch: there’s no published college stat line yet, so the appeal is projection, length, and development rather than proven production.
