Coming into Fall Camp, the wide receiver rotation was the biggest question mark. BYU has a lot of talent in the room, but it lost the three wide receivers that played the most in 2025: Chase Roberts, Parker Kingston, and Cody Hagen. As BYU wraps up week three of camp, the wide receiver rotation is taking shape.

After practice on Friday, wide receiver Reggie Frischknecht met with the media. When asked about his position on the depth chart, Frischknecht said, "Right now we've got Jojo [Phillips] and Kyler [Kasper] and Legend [Glasker], and then I think I'm right there in the mix. If I continue to do what I can and work hard every day, I think I can get up there with a good rotation."

Frischknecht's comments validate our observations over the last week at camp: there has been separation between BYU's top four wide receivers and the rest of the room. In two media window observations, the four wide receivers getting almost all reps with the first-team offense were Kyler Kasper, Jojo Phillips, Legend Glasker, and Reggie Frischknecht.

Tiger Bachmeier got a snap or two with the first-team offense on Friday. However, Bachmeier has primarily been running with the second-team offense while the aforementioned four have been exclusively reserved for first-team snaps. Tei Nacua and Terrance Saryon have run exclusively with the second-team offense in media observation windows.

That would put Tiger Bachmeier as the fifth wide receiver, and some combination of Tei Nacua/Terrance Saryon behind Bachmeier.

It won't be uncommon for Walker Lyons and Roger Saleapaga to be on the field together. If two tight ends are on the field, that would leave only two wide receivers on the field at a time. Therefore, a four-man rotation might be enough to cover most of the snaps in a game.

With a four-man rotation of Kasper, Phillips, Glasker, and Frischknecht, BYU will have one of the biggest wide receiver rooms in the country. Kasper is 6'6, Phillips is 6'5, and Frischknecht is 6'4. The question for these three will be if they can capitalize on their size advantage and routinely make contested catches.

Outside of Chase Roberts last season, BYU didn't have a wide receiver that could consistently make contested catches.

Legend Glasker brings a different wrinkle to the room. Glasker beats defensive backs with speed and crisp route running - he is 6'1 and he has an ability to read the ball in the air and adjust to make tough catches. Glasker is just a true freshman, but he is going to be asked to handle some jet sweeps and get open in man coverage. Based on what we've seen in camp settings, he is ready to handle that workload.

Returning production will remain a question mark until this group consistently makes plays in games. These four wide receivers have combined for just 32 catches for 461 yards in their college football careers. If you exclude Jojo Phillips, the other three have combined for 7 catches for 84 receiving yards.

All of these wide receivers have made strong impressions in camp, now it's time to turn that into game production. They will face an important test in week two against Arizona.
