BYU’s connection to Weber High School is alive and well, and the latest name on the Cougars’ radar is Creed DeVries.
The Class of 2028 prospect from North Ogden has already landed a scholarship offer from BYU after a strong conversation with Demario Warren. DeVries shared the news on April 18, 2026, writing, “After a great call with @DemarioWarren I am super blessed and excited to say I have received a scholarship offer to play football at Brigham Young University!🔵⚪️ #GOCOUGS @kalanifsitake @fsitake @lew_walk7 @Coach_Popp @BYU_CoachJustin @BlairAngulo @BrandonHuffman @rakoto10 pic.twitter.com/ammgpj2Pc3”
For DeVries, the recruiting process has already been a memorable one. He described his first real offseason experience with college coaches as exciting and said the visits to Weber have stood out.
“The recruiting process is obviously super exciting! Finally getting my first true offseason experience of it was super fun, being able to talk and make relationship with different coaches all across the country. It's been really cool seeing these big coaches take their time and stop at Weber and visit with us,” DeVries told Cougar Sports Insider.
At 6-2 and 170 pounds, DeVries brings the kind of flexibility college staffs love. He’s a key piece of the Weber offense as a wide receiver, but his quickness and size also let him handle work in the defensive secondary. That defensive upside is what initially grabbed BYU’s attention and helped lead Warren to make the offer.
Since then, the relationship has only grown stronger.
“My relationship with BYU is really good. I'd say I talk to Coach Warren the most, and we've been able to grow our relationship for sure, he's an amazing coach and a great person,” he said.
DeVries said he’s enjoying the chance to line up in multiple spots, even if his focus remains on helping Weber this fall. He plans to keep making plays on both sides of the ball while staying locked in on the team’s season.
“Yeah it's definitely fun being able to be a big guy in multiple spots! I'd love to play wide receiver, but I also love playing CB and DB.
Most schools have actually recruited me as a ATH because of my abilities which is super exciting! But I just wanna go in and help the program wherever they need me,” he said.
BYU also has an obvious head start in this recruitment because Creed’s older brother, Cannon DeVries, is already on the Cougars’ roster. The family tie gives the Cougars a strong foothold, but the race is far from over. Other schools are continuing to come through Weber, and DeVries still has plenty of time before he needs to make a decision.

BYU Suddenly Has A Chance To Bring Back Two Former Starters
A Colorado judges preliminary injunction has suddenly opened the door for an extra year of eligibility for athletes from the 2022 class, creating another layer of uncertainty around college football rosters heading into the next wave of offseason decisions. The NCAA can appeal, so nothing is settled yet, but the ruling has already put a fresh spotlight on players whose college careers appeared to be nearing their natural end.
For BYU, the development matters because it could affect former starters who now have a possible path back to the field if they want it. It also leaves the Cougars and other Big 12 programs watching closely, since the decision could ripple beyond Provo and into the plans of other veterans weighing whether another season is worth pursuing.

Taysom Hill Leaves Saints But Still Inspires In Unexpected Way
Taysom Hills nine-year run in New Orleans is over, closing a long and unusual chapter for one of BYUs most memorable football products. For Cougars fans, his story still starts in Provo, where his college career included those electric moments against Texas that helped cement his reputation as a do-everything threat long before he became a Swiss Army knife in the NFL.
Hills path to the Saints was hardly straightforward either, beginning with a cut by the Green Bay Packers before New Orleans gave him a chance and turned him into a lasting fixture. Even as his Saints tenure comes to an end, his career remains a reminder of how far a BYU player can go when talent and versatility meet opportunity. [Read more 🡒]
Texas Tech Loaded Roster Faces One Problem That Could Derail Season
Texas Tech is being treated like a Big 12 favorite again in 2026, and there is plenty behind that optimism. Joey McGuire has a roster that still looks the part, with returning starters and a wave of transfers giving the Red Raiders the kind of depth and talent that usually travels well in conference play. The program is also trying to build on its recent rise by turning strong regular seasons into something bigger when the postseason arrives.
The one lingering question is the kind that can reshape an entire season before it starts: quarterback. Brendan Sorsbys suspension for gambling has created uncertainty at the position, leaving the Red Raiders to lean on backup Will Hammond as he works back from injury. McGuire has voiced confidence in Hammond and in the group around him, but for a team picked by many outlets to repeat as Big 12 champion, the path forward still depends on whether the position can settle quickly enough to keep everything else on track.
