BYU WR Cody Hagen: Explosive return threat with untapped big-play upside
Cody Hagen’s value is in his burst: in 2025, he averaged 14.4 yards per carry on 7 rushing attempts, scored 2 rushing touchdowns, and added 8 catches for 65 yards, while also giving BYU a dynamic kick-return option (7 returns, 186 yards, 26.6 average). He was a productive high school star and, when healthy, flashes real open-field juice and versatility rather than volume production. The key context: BYU has used him more as a weapon than a featured receiver, and his medical-retirement status in 2026 makes availability the deciding factor for any team fit.[2][17]
