Chaz Ah You

To this point Chaz Ah You has shown flashes of being great, but hasn’t quite shown quite what BYU fans were hoping for. To this point, his most memorable play on the field is still when he went skydiving onto the field to announce his commitment to play BYU.

Ah You only played briefly in 2020 totalling two tackles. While some say injuries were his reason for not playing more, it was probably more of an opt-out. since it was surgery on an injury from the year before. Regardless, Ah You has a lot of promise, but not much to show for it up to this point.

Chaz Ah You clearly has the speed, size and athleticism to be the next great linebacker for BYU. Over the past ten seasons, the most successful players for the Cougars going into the NFL Draft have been from the linebacker and defensive end positions. If Ah You lives up to his hype over the next two seasons, it is not too hard to imagine him being an early round draft pick.
