The BYU football program is wrapping up the third week of Fall Camp on Saturday with a scrimmage. BYU will wrap finish camp and move on to game prep in the middle of next week. In this article, we are highlighting eight BYU players that have climbed the depth chart during Fall Camp.

8. Kennan Pula - S

While star safety Faletau Satuala was recovering from an injury, true freshman safety Kennan Pula had the chance to get some first-team reps. We had Pula in the two-deep going into camp, but with a strong performance in camp, Pula has positioned himself as the next safety in line behind veterans Faletau Satuala, Raider Damuni, and Tommy Prassas. That's assuming Cannon DeVries is a nickel, more on DeVries in a moment.

Pula is really athletic and his physicality has been a pleasant surprise in camp. He has long-term starter potential at safety when the veterans ahead of him move on.

7. Terrance Saryon - WR

Terrance Saryon has been running with the second-team offense throughout Fall Camp. Going into camp, we had Saryon narrowly outside the two-deep at wide receiver. With a strong performance on Friday, Saryon is pushing for the sixth wide receiver spot which would put him in the two-deep. Saryon is really shifty against man coverage. He was routinely open in the media observation window on Friday.

6. Treyson Bourguet- QB

Going into camp, Treyson Bourguet had not been named the backup quarterback. While there has been no official announcement, it's become increasingly clear that Bourguet has locked down that backup job. He has made a lot of progress over the last year, and he's made some high-level throws. He is capable of winning a game or two for BYU if Bear Bachmeier misses time with an injury.

5. Zak Yamauchi - OL

Stanford transfer Zak Yamauchi missed most of Spring Camp due to injury. Because of his injury situation, his position on the depth chart was unknown going into camp. Earlier this week, Yamauchi was running with the first-team offense. On Friday, he was with the second-team offense. Whether he wins the starting job at guard or not, Yamauchi has cemented himself in the two-deep as camp comes to a close.

Yamauchi has four years of eligiblity remaining. After the 2026 season, BYU will lose multiple interior offensive line starters to graduation. Therefore, with a strong camp, Yamauchi could position himself as a multi-year starter for the BYU offense down the road.

4. Legend Glasker - WR

Legend Glasker was the star of Spring Camp, and he has continued that momentum into Fall Camp. Glasker is now running exclusively with the first-team offense. Whether he starts or not, Glasker has cemented himself as one of BYU's top four wide receivers.

Glasker will play a big role for BYU. Glasker is a different body type than the other wide receivers in the core rotation. He can beat defensive backs with speed and precise route running. Another element to his game that doesn't get as much attention is his hands. He has a big catch radius because he track the flight of the ball and make difficult catches look routine.

Glasker is a future star for BYU, but it's unfair to place too many expectations on his true freshman season. Glasker has shown everything he can in a camp setting. Now it's just waiting to see what happens in his first college game.

3. Braxton Lindsey - DE

Similar to Kennan Pula, Braxton Lindsey has played a lot of first-team reps while Nusi Taumoepeau returns from injury. Lindsey got reps with the starters on Friday, and we expect him to play a rush end role for BYU right away.

The four-star prospect has lived up to his recruiting profile. With a strong freshman season, he could position himself as a future star for the BYU defense.

2. Kevin Doe - DB

The cornerback depth behind veterans Evan Johnson, Therrian Alexander III, and Jayven Williams was a question mark going into Fall Camp. Former walk-on wide receiver Kevin Doe has worked his way up the cornerback depth chart in Fall Camp.

Doe has been in the program multiple years after arriving as a raw athlete out of East High School. He was first identified by BYU's staff when he ran a 100M dash at a track meet. Years later, Doe has developed into a good football player. Doe gave veteran wide receiver Tiger Bachmeier all he could handle in Friday's practice.

His physical abilities have never been in doubt - he is fast and he has great length at 6'3. He was just raw, and it's clear that he has developed with four years in the program. Doe's patience has paid off as he is on track to contribute for BYU in 2026. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

1. Cannon DeVries - DB

Cannon DeVries has been running with the first-team defense over the last week. It appears that DeVries is on track to start for BYU at nickel. Whether he plays nickel or safety, he will play for BYU.

He is also on track to be the starting punt returner for BYU. DeVries was a freshman returned missionary last season. He has escaped the mission rust and is ready to play an important role for BYU, especially while Jonathan Kabeya is out with an injury.
