It's raining four-stars as BYU football is a contender for several high-grade recruits

Sure, the college basketball transfer portal and recruiting whirlwind have been collecting most of our attention these days, but there is plenty of reason to get off your seat for BYU football's recruiting efforts to follow up and build off of what was, by most any stretch, the best season of the Big 12 era in Provo.

BYU football is hot on the recruiting trail, as is evidenced by these three highly-recruited players' inclusion of the stretch-Y in their final candidates. Almost like a wave of BYU football momentum, three fantastic recruits named their top-five schools, and they voiced the Cougars' candidacy in unison.

BYU is hit with a wave of high school football recruiting fortune

Among other nationally-relevant institutions on the gridiron like Penn State, Oregon, Washington, and Cal-Berkely (the last one is a bit of an odd-one-out, but try not to lose me here), four-star safety Malakai Taufoou out of Redwood City, California could be Provo-bound as BYU was named the fifth program of his final five.

Ranked as the number 6 safety in California by Rivals for the class of 2027, Taufoou is a ball-hawk with a lust for INT's and the athleticism to snag stray passes from their intended targets.

Then, we have Sione Felila, another Californian who plays defensive line. Standing 6'2" and weighing 285 pounds, Felilla is a cannonball attacking the wooden walls of any opposing offensive line. You can find his Hudl profile here.

Felila's 247 Sports crystal ball is currently projected to Oklahoma, one of his final five, with medium certainty. Alongside the Sooners, BYU joins Arizona State, Kansas, and Cal-Berkely (guess who's back?) as the final contenders to secure his commitment.

Then, we have the big one: four-star wide-out Blake Wong. Taking one look at his offers list will prove that BYU is officially playing with the big boys out in the recruiting thunderdome, with Oregon, Ohio State, UCLA, and Utah all jockeying for a chance of securing his services.

84 catches for nearly 1,500 yards, and 20 touchdowns is an impressive stat line -- posting those numbers in 10 appearances is absolutely ludicrous. Wong is a hot commodity, and it's easy to see why. He's fast. From the snap, he constantly finds himself slipping past the secondary, and he can grow that separation with or without the ball in his hands.
