On Wednesday, Texas native and tight end prospect Jacob Nye committed to BYU. Nye committed to the Cougars over competing offers from Tulane, Tulsa, Texas State, and Arkansas State among others. Nye has primarily played wide receiver at the high school level. Listed at 6'4 and 225 pounds, he projects as a tight end at the next level. He is a class of 2025 recruit, so he will likely sign on the February signing day and enroll in time for next season.

The late addition of Nye can probably be explained by roster construction. The Cougars are set to lose six tight ends to either graduation, the transfer portal, or missions. BYU needs to add some players at tight end, and Nye is a developmental prospect that could come in and start the development process for BYU.

Nye is one of multiple tight ends in BYU's 2025 class. The Cougars signed tight ends Tucker Kelleher, Blake Bryce, and Jackson Doman during the early singing period. Both Blake Bryce and Jackson Doman are scheduled to go on missions prior to enrolling at BYU. It is anticipated that Tucker Kelleher and Jacob Nye will enroll right away.
