BYU’s slot-corner chess piece with upside if healthy
Kabeya looks like a role-fit defender for BYU in the 2026 season: a quick, lateral, nickel/slot corner who impressed early, but whose 2025 campaign was interrupted by injury and late-season rust. BYU listed him as a redshirt-sophomore cornerback, and local coverage noted he was limited in spring while still competing for one of the few pure slot spots on the roster. The appeal is clear: twitch, coverage ability, and inside-versatility; the question is durability and whether he can regain his pre-injury sharpness.
