BYU’s football program is intensifying its recruitment efforts for Brock Harris, a standout tight end from Pine View High School in St. George, Utah. Harris, a four-star prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, is highly regarded, ranking as the No. 27 overall prospect and the top recruit in Utah, according to the 247Sports Composite ratings.
On January 8, 2025, BYU’s head coach Kalani Sitake, along with key offensive staff members—including tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick, passing game coordinator Fesi Sitake, and associate head coach Jay Hill—visited Harris and his family. This visit occurred during the NCAA’s winter contact period, which allows in-person, off-campus interactions between coaches and recruits from January 6 to February 1.
Harris expressed appreciation for the visit, stating on social media, “Me and my parents spent some great time with these coaches. Thank you for stopping by [Pine View High] and showing the love.”
In December 2024, Harris announced his top six college choices: BYU, Utah, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and Miami. Securing Harris would be a significant achievement for BYU, as he would become the highest-rated recruit of the Kalani Sitake era, boasting a 0.9648 composite rating on 247Sports.
Harris has been a consistent presence at BYU events, attending camps since middle school and visiting the campus multiple times. He has developed strong relationships with the coaching staff, particularly with tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride and head coach Kalani Sitake. After attending BYU’s home win over Arizona in October 2024, Harris remarked, “The atmosphere and the love that the staff showed me was awesome.”
During his junior year at Pine View High, Harris recorded impressive statistics, with 41 receptions for 527 yards and nine touchdowns. His performance earned him invitations to prestigious events, including the Under Armour All-America Game in Florida and the upcoming Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii on January 17.
BYU’s coaching staff has been proactive in recruiting top talent, also visiting Folsom High School in California, home to five-star quarterback prospect Ryder Lyons from the 2026 class. Lyons previously visited BYU in November 2024 for the Kansas game, where fans showed their enthusiasm by chanting, “We want Ryder!”
The competition for Harris is fierce, with powerhouse programs like Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and Miami also vying for his commitment. Each of these schools has a strong football tradition and offers unique opportunities for development. Harris’s decision will likely hinge on factors such as offensive schemes, player development, and the relationships he has built with coaching staffs.
As the recruitment process progresses, BYU’s continued engagement and personalized approach may play a crucial role in Harris’s final decision. Landing a recruit of Harris’s caliber would not only bolster BYU’s offensive capabilities but also signal the program’s growing appeal to top-tier talent on a national scale.
