In this energized episode of Y’s Guys, Dave McCann and guest co-host Brian Logan (filling in for Blaine Fowler, who’s away on the Cougars Cruise) deliver a jam-packed livestream filled with major BYU sports updates, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes stories. Headlining the night is BYU’s big basketball signing of Rob Wright III, a former 5-star point guard from Baylor, along with the rising stardom of AJ Dybantsa, who dazzled at the Nike Hoop Summit. With preseason Top 10 buzz from national analysts and a likely Top 25 football/basketball dual ranking for next fall, Cougar Nation is buzzing with anticipation.

Linebackers coach Justin Ena joins the show to break down BYU’s elite linebacker room, which returns Isaiah Glasker, Jack Kelly, and Harrison Taggart, three of the team’s top tacklers. Ena opens up about communication on and off the field, including how he first learned to connect through sign language with his wife, Sheri, who is deaf. He also shares which young linebackers are poised to emerge, thoughts on new NFL rules, and how BYU is building long-term depth amid the portal era.

Later, the show welcomes four members of BYU’s national champion landscape team—Tyler Stewart, Kinsey Flores, Tahis Ibanez, and Tucker Thompson—fresh off their 10th national title. From hardscape installs to sales and interior design, each student-athlete shares their competition wins and the passion behind BYU’s elite landscape program. Their confidence, humor, and pride in representing BYU shine as they explain why landscaping is more than just plants—it’s a booming industry with real career potential.
