Why BYU's Tradon Bessinger Pursuit Makes PERFECT Sense Despite Having Bear Bachmeier & Ryder Lyons | Tim LaComb Breaks Down AJ Dybantsa & Richie Saunders | Tiger Bachmeier Dishes on BYU Football & Bear Bachmeier
Episode 2112
BYU Cougars quarterback recruiting intensifies as Davis High School's Tradon Bessinger has scheduled an official visit to Provo, raising questions about the program's depth chart strategy. Despite having true freshman starter Bear Bachmeier under center and five-star quarterback commit Ryder Lyons arriving in the near future, BYU football continues aggressively pursuing elite QB talent in a move reminiscent of Alabama's championship-era stockpiling approach.
Jake Hatch breaks down why BYU Cougars football refuses to slow down quarterback recruiting, even with a loaded position room. Bessinger recently decommitted from Boise State and holds Power 4 offers from UCLA and Iowa, among others, making his interest in BYU particularly noteworthy. The Cougars' willingness to recruit multiple quarterbacks per cycle signals a long-term vision that prioritizes competition and depth over guaranteed playing time promises.
Former BYU assistant coach Tim LaComb provides exclusive insider analysis on five-star freshman AJ Dybantsa's transition to college basketball and his NBA draft timeline. Lacombe discusses how Dybantsa is adjusting to the college game while maintaining his status as a projected top NBA prospect. The conversation also highlights fifth-year senior Richie Saunders' remarkable transformation into an All-Big 12 First Team selection, with LaComb evaluating Saunders' professional basketball potential.
Tiger Bachmeier offers rare behind-the-scenes insight into his brother Bear Bachmeier's leadership style as BYU's starting quarterback. Tiger reveals the personality behind Bear's stoic game-day demeanor, discussing their unique dynamic as both roommates and teammates. The younger Bachmeier also shares his entrepreneurial ambitions beyond football, providing a glimpse into life inside the BYU football program.
