BYU’s true freshman wide receiver Legend Glasker is making a small change that says plenty: he’s moving from No. 88 to No. 1 ahead of Fall Camp.
Glasker, the former Lehi High School standout, wore No. 88 during Spring Camp. Now he’ll take the field this fall in the single-digit jersey after posting a photo of himself in the new number on social media. He also debuted the switch during BYU’s pre-camp photoshoot on Wednesday.
The No. 1 jersey had been sitting open on offense. Keanu Hill was the last offensive player to wear it, back in 2024, and it went unclaimed on offense in 2025 before remaining open again in Spring Camp.
Glasker’s spring work helped put him in position for a real shot this season. He was one of the standouts of Spring Camp, and that showing, along with attrition at wide receiver, has opened the door for him to play right away in 2026.
As Fall Camp approaches, Jojo Phillips and Kyler Kasper are expected to sit at the top of the wide receiver depth chart. The two bring similar skill sets, with both standing tall as possession receivers who can still separate with their routes. One of the biggest questions entering camp is who steps up behind them.
Glasker could be part of that answer. His speed gives BYU something different, especially when the offense needs someone who can get behind the defense.
If the season started today, BYU would project to start LJ Martin, Jojo Phillips, Kyler Kasper, Walker Lyons, and Roger Saleapaga at the skill spots. That group would give the Cougars size across the board, but it would not always include a true vertical threat.
Glasker was consistently behind the defense in Spring Camp.
The single-digit number also fits the larger BYU picture. Those jerseys carry real value in college football, and as of this writing, 12 BYU players are set to wear them in 2026. That total could still rise once the Fall Camp roster is released.

Lane Kiffin Just Reopened A Playoff Debate BYU Fans Hate
Lane Kiffins latest comments at SEC Media Days put a familiar College Football Playoff argument back in the spotlight, and it is one BYU fans know all too well. The LSU coach took aim at the way the committee compares teams across conferences, arguing the sport still does not do enough to reward strength of schedule and that the SECs shift to a nine-game league schedule only makes those comparisons messier.
For BYU, the frustration is easy to understand because the Cougars have lived through the kind of rsum debate Kiffin is talking about, and they have seen how quickly those conversations can turn subjective. Kiffin also pointed to scheduling decisions like LSUs canceled home-and-home with Arizona State in 2029 and 2030 as part of the broader problem, underscoring how much the playoff picture is shaped long before selection day arrives.
