With a strong core of players returning, including talented underclassmen on both sides of the ball, BYU’s future is looking brighter than ever. The foundation for success has been laid, and with Coach Sitake’s leadership, the Cougars are poised for continued excellence in the years to come.
As Batty embarks on his journey to the NFL, the Cougar faithful will eagerly watch as their team builds on a successful 2024 campaign, setting their sights on even greater achievements.
