In this special 4-Star Monday edition of Y’s Guys, hosts Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler welcome two of BYU Football’s most exciting recruits: tight end Brock Harris and running back McKay Madsen. The show also dives into major headlines from BYU Football and Basketball, including transfer portal losses, high preseason rankings, and continued recruiting momentum as the Cougars head into a new era of Big 12 competition.


Brock Harris, the highest-rated BYU commit since 2006, discusses his decision to choose BYU over Michigan, Georgia, and Oregon. The 6’7” tight end from Pine View High shares what made BYU feel like home, how he broke the news to Kalani Sitake, and why serving a mission matters to him. He also talks about his future role in Aaron Roderick’s offense, and the growing momentum among top LDS athletes—hinting that he, McKay, and Ryder Lyons may suit up together in the near future.


McKay Madsen, a powerful 4-star running back and state champion discus thrower from California, talks about the value of multi-sport development, how faith keeps him grounded, and his upcoming mission to Argentina. He reflects on his high school success (over 1,200 rushing yards and 131 tackles in 2024), and his vision for his role in BYU’s backfield when he returns. Both players emphasize how much BYU’s culture, faith foundation, and future direction helped seal their commitment.


Additional highlights from this episode include:


BYU Football loses Harrison Taggart and Keelan Marion to the transfer portal.


Justin Ena’s linebacker room is still loaded, with Ace and Maika Kaufusi, Choe Bryant-Strother, Siale Esera, and Miles Hall expected to step up.
