PROVO, Utah – Recruiting for a program like BYU football is a lifeblood. While people get excited about the upcoming season, coaches and staff will have a busy summer piecing together the future with the 2024 recruiting class and beyond.
BYU will have summer camps coming up in June, along with attending satellite camps across the country. They will also host some recruits on official visits this summer, such as American Fork standout Davis Andrews.
As BYU gears up for a busy summer of recruiting, it’s a good check-in point to see where things stand with the 2024 recruiting class.
Being in the Big 12 Conference, BYU wants to level up its recruiting efforts. It’s one of the reasons the official hashtag for BYU’s 2024 class is #RI2E4BOVE. That’s social media lingo for “rise above.”
BYU football recruiting: 2024 commits
BYU has eight commitments as of July 5 and boasts the 69th-ranked class in the industry-standard 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.
Ryner Swanson | TE

Siosefa Brown is the first defensive commit to BYU since Jay Hill became the defensive coordinator last December.
Brown picked BYU over the usual recruiting suspects that the Cougars face on the trail, Utah, Utah State, and Vanderbilt. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Brown also has received offers from Cal and Washington State.
Brown can potentially be a star edge rusher for BYU in the future. He’s a versatile athlete who has excelled at wide receiver and away from the gridiron in basketball.
