Ifo Pili Jr. brings edge-speed pop and national interest as a 2026 BYU recruit
Ifo Pili Jr. is a 2026 defensive line/edge prospect from Granger High who drew Power Four attention from BYU, Utah, Utah State, and UNLV, with recruiting outlets placing him around No. 2,492 nationally and No. 210 at EDGE in one ranking set. He’s a classic upside play: long, explosive, and disruptive enough to make offensive coordinators sweat, with the kind of motor and in-state fit that BYU values. The key question is development—he looks like a toolsy, high-ceiling piece rather than a finished product, so he’s best for a team that wants to coach up a pass-rush weapon over time.
