As of the time of this article, BYU will add 21 new scholarship players to the 2021 roster. That number will change as BYU adds a player or two from the transfer portal. You can check out their high school highlights below:

2021 Previously Signed Additions

Dallin Holker - TE

Original Signing Class: 2018

Notes: Holker made an impact as a true freshman before leaving for a mission after his freshman season. If Holker can get shake off the mission rust, he will immediately compete for a spot in the two-deep. Holker will join the team this fall. Here are some of his high school highlights:

Ethan Erickson - TE

Original Signing Class: 2019

Notes: A tight end out of Hawaii that turned down offers from Utah State and Navy to sign with BYU. Erickson will join the team this fall.

Donovan Hanna - TE

Original Signing Class: 2017

Notes: Hanna signed with BYU clear back in 2017. He is already enrolled in classes and will participate in spring practices.

Chase Roberts - WR

Original Signing Class: 2019

Notes: Out of American Fork High School, Roberts was an Under Armor All-American. Roberts will join the program in the summer after he returns from his mission in March.

Michael Daley - LB

Original Signing Class: 2019

Notes: Michael Daley is the older brother of 2021 BYU signee John-Henry Daley. Michael led the state in sacks as a senior at Lone Peak High School. Daley will join the program in the fall once he returns home from his mission.

Original Signing Class: 2018

Notes: Matua is a linebacker out of Kearns High School that is already enrolled in classes and will participate in spring ball.

Talan Alfrey - DB/LB

Original Signing Class: 2018

Notes: BYU needs help at Safety, and Alfrey is a candidate to compete for a spot in the two-deep. Alfrety signed in 2018 over offers from Air Force and Nevada. He was announced as a linebacker, but he could end up in a few different spots.

Dean Jones - DB

Original Signing Class: 2020

Notes: Dean Jones is a long and fast defensive back out of Arizona. Jones is enrolled in classes and will participate in spring ball. Last Summer, I had a chance to catch up with Jones and discuss his recruitment, you can watch that video below:

Oliver Nasilai RB/LB

Original Signing Class: 2018
