BYU Lands Top Receiver Commit | Salt Lake City News

BYU just snagged a big win in recruiting with the commitment of Owen Leishman, a three-star wide receiver from Ridgeline High, set to join the 2027 class. Standing at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, Leishman is already lighting up the field with 18 catches for 340 yards and 3 touchdowns in just four games — his team’s undefeated this season. He helped lead Ridgeline to a championship last year with 22 catches for over 500 yards and 9 TDs. This marks the second straight year BYU lands a top receiver from Ridgeline, following Graham Livingston’s 2026 commitment. With Leishman joining Blake Wong and Peyton Higginson, BYU’s 2027 class now sits at 16 players — and they’re clearly building depth at receiver and tight end. The Cougars’ recent success with recruits like Legend Glasker (who scored 3 TDs in his debut) shows how quickly these talents can impact the program. It’s clear BYU is making smart, strategic moves early — and Leishman is another name to watch closely. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
