Kody Epps talks through his recruiting timeline with BYU:

  • First time he came in contact with BYU was through former BYU QB John Beck
  • Met Coach Gilford on the sideline before the St. John Bosco game
  • Offered by Coach Roderick two weeks after meeting Coach Gilford
  • Kody Epps makes an official visit to BYU
  • 2-3 weeks after his visit to BYU, Kody Epps and his family were on board to sign with BYU, but not to sign during the early signing period
  • Kody Epps woke up one morning and felt that signing early was the right thing to do and immediately called Coach Fesi Sitake to commit to signing early 

So why did Kody Epps choose to sign with BYU? The authenticity of BYU coaches, the quality of BYU's business school- specifically the Marketing program, and the  support of BYU fans all played a role in Kody's decision. Kody said "BYU is the place for me... I feel this is the perfect fit."
