Big frame, freshman upside, and a BYU prototype at wideout
Asher Young enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-3, 205-pound freshman receiver from Orem, giving BYU a long, physical target with local familiarity and developmental upside. The appeal here is projection: his size can help him win through contact and in the red zone, and his background as an in-state standout suggests he’s comfortable with pressure and expectations. There’s not much public statistical evidence yet at the college level, so this is a pure upside play—but the profile fits a team looking for a high-ceiling, homegrown WR with room to grow.
